Design will consist in an absorption tower as main equipment, which will have four inlet

streams and two outlet streams.

Inlet streams are: water, which act as absorbent, air, \ce{NOx} (\ce{NO}, \ce{NO_2},
\ce{N_2O_4}) and a stream of \ce{HNO3}
at low concentration, to increase \ce{HNO3} concentration at the oulet stream. Beside
\ce{HNO3}
concentrated stream at the bottom of the tower, a tail gas stream will exit at top with a low
concentration of the harm compounds.
