Capturing NH₃ (ammonia)

NH3 filtration (ammonia removal)

Ammonia (NH₃) is a colorless gas with a strong, pungent smell. It is mainly formed during biological and industrial processes, such as manure processing, refrigeration systems and chemical production. In high concentrations, ammonia is harmful to people, materials and the environment. The gas affects the respiratory tract, causes corrosion on metal surfaces and contributes to acidification in the atmosphere.

In many industrial and agricultural processes, ammonia is released through ventilation, process or extraction air. When these vapors are not properly captured, this can lead to odour nuisance, environmental damage and damage to equipment. Capturing ammonia gas is therefore essential in order to comply with environmental requirements and improve air quality in and around business premises. By filtering and removing NH₃ with the right filtration systems, companies can drastically reduce emissions and create a safer working environment.

Allsorb specializes in filtering harmful gases such as ammonia from ventilation and process air. With our high-quality filter media, such as the Alphacarb S-Ammoni S, and custom-developed systems, we ensure effective capture and ammonia removal of NH₃. This is how we help companies in industry, water authorities and technical sectors keep their processes clean, odour-free and sustainable. Our filtration systems meet the strictest standards for air quality and emission control.

How does ammonia filtration work in practice?

Ammonia is filtered using chemically impregnated carbon filters or specially developed adsorption media. These materials bind the NH₃ particles to the filter surface, after which the gas is neutralized. Allsorb tailors the filter structure to the air flow, concentration and temperature of the process. This creates an optimal balance between capacity, efficiency and maintenance frequency.

Our filters are often used in:

• Wastewater treatment plants and sewage pumping stations: to remove ammonia vapors from process air.
• Industrial production and chemical processes: to protect equipment and personnel.
• Refrigeration systems and technical rooms: where ammonia is used as a refrigerant.
• Archives and museums: for protecting cultural heritage.

What makes ammonia filtration so important?

Ammonia is not only a nuisance because of its sharp smell, but also because of its corrosive properties. Unfiltered NH₃ can cause damage to fans, pipes, ventilation ducts and electronic components. In addition, many companies are facing stricter emission requirements from authorities and environmental agencies. By filtering ammonia with the right installations, you not only prevent technical damage, but also contribute to responsible environmental management. This form of corrosion control is essential in environments where ammonia is released.

Benefits of ammonia filtration with Allsorb

• High efficiency in removing ammonia and related gases
  Our filtration systems effectively remove NH₃ from air flows and reduce emissions to a minimum. This results in a clean and safe working environment.
• Protection of installations and extended service life
  By capturing ammonia in time, corrosion and wear are prevented, resulting in lower maintenance costs and a longer service life for equipment.
• Less odour nuisance and fewer emission problems
  The characteristic smell of ammonia is greatly reduced, contributing to a more pleasant working environment and fewer complaints from the surrounding area.
• Energy-efficient and sustainable filtration solutions
  Allsorb designs filters with low resistance and a long service life. This means lower energy consumption, fewer replacements and less waste.
• Continuous control thanks to monitoring technology
  Our air quality meters continuously monitor ammonia concentrations, humidity and temperature, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
