Ammonia Gas Removal for Safer Fertilizer Plant Operations

A leading fertilizer manufacturer sought a solution to eliminate ammonia gas ingress and ensure safe air quality in its control room.

Published : 18 Jul 2025

The Problem

01
Ammonia entered the control room via fresh air intake, compromising air quality and operator safety.
02
The control room had to stay operational for one hour to allow safe plant shutdown.
03
The filtration system required seamless integration with existing HVAC, maintaining performance.
04
The solution had to work passively, providing reliable protection with minimal upkeep in emergencies.
