Equipment for fertilizer process duties
Fertilizer plants involve a range of absorption, gas–liquid separation and mist-removal duties. Evergreen develops internals for new equipment and revamps, with designs suited to the process conditions and available column or vessel space.
Equipment selection considers capacity, pressure drop, liquid carry-over and service-specific requirements such as corrosion, solids loading, crystallisation and fouling. Materials are selected for the actual fluid composition, concentration and temperature. Engineering support can include hydraulic design, assessment of existing internals, revamp recommendations, and installation supervision, with the scope agreed to suit project requirements.
Process performance guarantees can be offered for selected applications, subject to agreed feed characteristics, operating conditions, and performance criteria.

Selected fertilizer applications
Ammonia Plant — Gas Treatment & Separation
Carbon dioxide absorption and solvent regeneration during synthesis-gas preparation, together with gas–liquid separation duties in the ammonia plant. Trays, packings, mist eliminators, and internals are selected for the specific process conditions.
- EVERFRAC trays
- EVERPACK packings
- EVERMESH mist eliminators
- EVERGREEN column internals
Urea Plant — Mist Removal
Mist-removal duties in urea solution concentration and associated gas-scrubbing systems. Mist eliminators can be evaluated for liquid carry-over control, with consideration for solution chemistry, temperature, crystallisation, and fouling.
- EVERMESH mist eliminators
- EVERON vane mist eliminators
Nitric Acid — Absorption & Mist Removal
Absorption of nitrogen dioxide in water to produce nitric acid. Trays and column internals support gas–liquid contact, while mist eliminators remove entrained acid droplets. Gaseous NOx treatment is a separate duty from acid-mist removal.
- EVERFRAC trays
- EVERFIBRE fibre-bed mist eliminators
- EVERGREEN column internals
Ammonium Nitrate — Prilling & Exhaust Treatment
Treatment of exhaust containing ammonium nitrate particles and aerosols from prilling operations. Fibre-bed mist eliminators can be evaluated for fine-aerosol collection, with mesh or vane eliminators for scrubber droplet carry-over where appropriate. Selection considers particle size, loading, and deposition potential.
- EVERFIBRE fibre-bed mist eliminators
- EVERMESH mist eliminators
- EVERON vane mist eliminators
Phosphate Fertilizers & Associated Acid Plants
Gas-scrubbing and mist-removal duties in phosphate fertilizer production and associated acid plants. Packings and mist eliminators are selected for the gas composition, acid chemistry, solids loading, and corrosion conditions. Sulphuric acid plant applications are covered separately.
- EVERPACK packings
- EVERMESH mist eliminators
- EVERON vane mist eliminators
- EVERFIBRE fibre-bed mist eliminators
