Working with customers to provide integrated total solutions

Environmental solutions

Backed by a century of experience in nitrogen applications for industry, Yara uses its knowledge of chemicals derived from the production of fertilizers to offer complete solutions for abatement of nitrogen oxides NOx and hydrogen sulfide H2S, and for water treatment. We help our clients meet increasingly stringent standards around the world. Yara’s environmental solutions are already cleaning more than double the amount of NOx emissions that a country like Norway produces.

  • Cleaner air / NOx abatement

    NOx reduction

    NOx is a generic term for various nitrogen oxides produced from all kinds of combustion, including engines and furnaces, that react with oxygen in the air to produce ground-level ozone. They are believed to aggravate asthma and are one of the main causes of acid rain.

  • Odor control

    H2S (Hydrogen sulfide) reduction/odor treatment

    Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic and potentially lethal gas found in both industrial installations and in the wastewater systems. Yara’s odor-control solutions don’t just treat the odor, but actually prevent its root cause, septicity, which is caused by a lack of oxygen.

  • Improving water quality

    Improving water quality

    Yara offers process solutions that provide a better purifying effect, reduce corrosion in pipes and stabilize water so that it’s of good quality when it reaches the consumer. A low pH and lack of calcium and alkalinity can cause corrosion in a pipe network and lead to the release of metals from the pipe systems, thus causing a deterioration of water quality.
