Applications in the chemical and bulk fertilizer industries
Get a stable production climate year-round
Excessive moisture in the air impacts chemical processes. High humidity levels can cause issues like delays and inferior quality when products stick and clump together, resulting in declines in overall production efficiency. Moisture in the air can also lead to safety risks, as electrical installations exposed to high humidity levels often experience corrosion and reduced insulation resistance, which can cause short circuits.
Many applications in the chemical and bulk fertilizer industries generate high-temperature airstreams that affect humidity levels. Maintaining consistent humidity levels during the summer is also a struggle, despite high-end air-conditioning systems.
Controlling the production environment with Munters humidity control systems to eliminate condensation keeps the production climate stable and controlled – regardless of the season. The result? Consistently high product quality year-round, increased production output and fewer unplanned production stops, which saves time and money.
Advantages:
- Precisely controlled conditions year round
- Chemical and bulk fertilizer moisture control
- Higher quality
- Improved consistency
- Faster production
- Lower operating costs
Boost performance with mass transfer
Munters mass transfer solutions help boost performance. For fractionation, absorption, stripping and extraction, Munters mass transfer products optimize pressure drop versus output, using the least amount of energy possible. We have worked with renowned licensors of carbon dioxide removal units and are well-versed with their requirements.
We also offer in-house capabilities to design, engineer, manufacture and supply mass transfer products for all types of chemical and fertilizer plants, including:
- Carbon dioxide stripper/absorber/recovery columns
- Ammonia stripper/absorption columns
- Chlorine scrubber columns
- Caustic scrubbers
- Methanol stripper/vaporizer columns
- Foul condensate stripping columns
- Cell gas scrubbers
- Hydrogen gas generation columns
- Nitrogen humidifier columns
- Vent gas scrubber columns
All packings and internals come in a broad range materials, including stainless steel, duplex, super duplex, Monel, Hastelloy, alloy 625/825, aluminum, zirconium, titanium, copper and plastics.
Over the years, we have supplied mass transfer products to more than 5,000 installations for a wide range of projects. These include column diameters up to 40 feet wide or 12,000 mm, with structured packing, associated internals and all tray types up to four-pass, including valve, sieve, bubble cap and dual flow.

Recover energy with high-temperature heat exchangers
Many chemical and fertilizing manufacturing processes require heating airstreams to high temperatures, with considerable economic and environmental costs. Using high-temperature heat exchangers in these applications can reduce those costs, but many customers are concerned about the quality and reliability of heat exchangers in their critical processes.
Munters has extensive experience providing custom high-temperature heat exchangers for hot and cold isostatic pressing processes in sulfuric acid plants. Customers appreciate the cost savings Munters humidity control solutions bring to their bottom lines.
