This document provides information for performing a mass and heat balance on an existing ammonia stripper. It includes feed flow rates, compositions, temperatures and heat values at various points in the stripper. Equations are shown to calculate the mass flow rates at the bottom and top of the stripper based on the given information. Tables with heat values at different temperatures are also included to aid in the heat balance calculations.
