The method is yet improved by adding a second column that receives the purified waler from the first column and separates the bbylogen sulfide and the ammonia according tothe method fed in the first column. The purified water fom the second column is preferably partially injected into the first fandior the second column as wash water, A facility for implementing the method according tothe invention.Patent Application Publication Dec. 1, 2016 Sheet 1 of 3 8 US 2016/0347625 AI Fig. 1Patent Application Publication Dec. 1, 2016 Sheet 2 of 3 30 22 10. 32 12 US 2016/0347625 AI 32 31
