Abstract
A device for removing ammonia from a gas stream has a plurality of conduits that divide the gas steam into a plurality of separate gas streams. Spray nozzles located in each of said conduits spray a dilute acid solution into the streams. The acid solution is aqueous sulfuric acid and ammonium sulfate is produced. The conduits are substantially unobstructed enabling the device to create less than 10 Pa back pressure to the gas stream.
Claims24
A device for removing a substance from a gas stream by spraying a liquid into said gas stream, said device comprising:
- a plurality of conduits for dividing said gas stream into a plurality of separate gas streams, said conduits being substantially unobstructed to permit flow of said separate gas streams therethrough without significant resistance;
- at least one spray nozzle positioned in each said conduit for spraying said liquid into each of said separate gas streams thereby subjecting said entire gas stream to said liquid while passing through said conduits.
A device for removing a substance from a gas stream by spraying a liquid into said gas stream, said device comprising:
- a plurality of vertically oriented conduits for dividing said gas stream into a plurality of separate gas streams, each said conduit being substantially unobstructed to permit flow of said separate gas streams therethrough without significant resistance, each said conduit having a first and a second end, said first ends of said conduits being in fluid communication with the atmosphere;
- a plenum having an inlet for receiving said gas stream and an outlet in fluid communication with said second ends of each one of said conduits;
- and
- a plurality of spray nozzles positioned one above another in each of said conduits for spraying said liquid into each of said separate gas streams thereby subjecting said entire gas stream to said liquid while passing through said conduits.
