Role Of Industrial Filters In Fertilizer Manufacturing

Industrial filters play a key role in many applications, protecting equipment as well as people working in that environment. However, one doesn’t immediately associate industrial filtration with fertilizer manufacturing. But it does play a key role in this entire process. In this blog, Dynamic Filtration Ltd., a leading industrial air filter manufacturer in Waterloo and surrounding areas, explores why filtration is needed in fertilizer plants and how their own filters contribute to this endeavor.

Industrial Filtration In Fertilizer Manufacturing

During fertilizer manufacturing, one of the key chemicals made and used is nitric acid. It is a highly corrosive chemical. Moreover, most fertilizer production occurs in a reaction chamber, where platinum is used primarily as a catalyst. Without any filter, the toxic fumes from nitric acid will enter the reaction chamber, damage the catalyst, and increase the amount of ammonia in the fertilizer. This will significantly reduce the yield and negatively affect the bottom line for the company. 

To avoid this, quality air filters are installed on the filtration side of the plant to keep these toxic contaminants away from the platinum gauze catalyst. They are also installed in numerous air compressors and sensitive equipment, as the corrosive nature of the chemical can also damage these machines. Therefore, industrial filters serve a dual function in fertilizer plants.
