● Air Filter - A multistage filter removes 99.9% of particles larger than 0.5 micron
○ Filter media - Plastic and Glass fiber
○ Filter frame - Stainless Steel
● Ammonia Filter - 99.9% of particles larger than 3 micron are removed. Mostly
solid contaminants and rust particles with traces of oil and chlorides present in
liq ammonia are removed.
● Filter media - Teflon, Ceramics and Sintered metal
● Pressure drop - 10 kPa (depends on filter)
● Evaporator and Superheater are used to evaporate liq. NH3. Cold Water is used
in this setup to reduce the partial vapour pressure. LP Steam is added to supply
the necessary heat
Ammonia oxidation - Mixer and Filter
● Mixed Air Filter - Provides final cleaning of ammonia-air mix and removes 99.8%
particles of size greater than 1.5 micron
Ammonia oxidation - Reactor
a - Burner head
c - Platinum-Rhodium(90-10) gauze
d - Inspection glass
f - Hydrogen ignition
g - Refractory packing
● The pressure drop should be kept as low as possible to secure a favorable energy balance for
the plant as a whole.
Nitric oxide oxidation
Cooler Condenser
● In the cooler – condenser, the temperature
nitric gas.
Pellets arranged in
honeycomb structure serve
