A simplified model has been developed to describe ammonia stripping process in spray towers. The effect of various operating parameters including air flow rate, contact time, droplet size, liquid to gas ratios and tower height on the performance of such systems has been studied in detail. The results obtained for ammonia stripping have been compared with the limited experimental data available in literature. The predicted results agree reasonably well with the reported experimental data.
