Controlling nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions is a growing priority for many industries looking to meet air quality regulations and environmental goals. One of the most effective and sustainable ways to achieve this is through the use of ozone in NOx scrubber systems.
At Oxidation Technologies we specialize in advanced ozone solutions designed to help facilities remove NOx efficiently—improving air quality while reducing operational costs.
Why Ozone for NOx Removal?
Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent that reacts readily with nitrogen oxides (NO and NO₂), converting these harmful pollutants into higher oxides that are more easily captured and neutralized in wet scrubber systems. Compared to traditional methods, ozone offers several advantages:
- High removal efficiency for a wide range of NOx concentrations
- Lower chemical consumption compared to conventional scrubbers
- Improved regulatory compliance with tighter emission limits
- Environmentally friendly—no secondary pollutants are introduced
- Scalable technology for both small and large facilities

How It Works
When ozone is injected into a gas stream containing NOx, it reacts with NO to form NO₂, and further oxidation leads to N₂O₅. These compounds are readily soluble in water, making them easy to remove in a wet scrubber. The result: a cleaner exhaust stream and reduced NOx emissions.
This technology is particularly valuable for industries such as:
- Semiconductor and electronics manufacturing
- Nitric acid production
- Fertilizer and chemical processing
- Waste gas treatment systems
Benefits Beyond Compliance
Ozone-based NOx scrubbing isn’t just about meeting environmental regulations—it’s about optimizing process performance. By reducing the need for expensive reagents and minimizing waste streams, ozone systems can deliver long-term cost savings. Plus, they integrate seamlessly into existing scrubber setups with minimal retrofit work.
