Home: Technologies: Nitration: NOx Recovery

NORAM's NOx recovery technology is an integral part of NORAM's nitration vent management philosophy. It is a technology that can also be retrofitted into existing facilities.

This technology is currently in operation in three world-scale nitration plants.

Process Description

The NORAM process for the recovery of NOx gases uses a patented high pressure or atmospheric pressure absorption system. NOx gases are recovered in the form of nitric acid, with concentrations of up to 15 wt%, which is typically recycled back to the reactors.

This proven technology reduces NOx emission to less than one kilogram per hour on a typical world scale nitration facility.

Key Features and Benefits

The NORAM NOx recovery process differs from conventional technology in a number of ways, it leads to

· a reduction of caustic consumption by eliminating the traditional reactive absorption
· a reduction of nitrate and nitrite emission in the liquid effluent of the plant
· recovery of nitric acid value
