Ammonia (NH3) is critical to many industrial and agricultural processes. As a serious and common water pollutant, it is becoming more heavily scrutinised and regulated. High ammonia concentration can prevent the discharge or reuse of many waters.
Biological treatment and/or stripper scrubbers are widely used in ammonia wastewater treatment. Biological treatment can produce harmless nitrogen gas, while stripper scrubbers manufacture a rich ammonium sulfate solution, which can be blended into fertilizer.
However, these methods can be stretched as industrial wastewater volumes grow. Saltworks can help with your ammonia challenges.
Saltworks can facilitate, boost capacity, or optimize your ammonia process by:
Saltworks has installed several industrial ammonia RO systems operating at over 98% recovery. RO treatment of ammonia requires specialized knowledge and plant configuration. The result is clean freshwater that can be discharged, while ammonia wastewater is concentrated 50 times!
We can help you to consider your options—and if warranted, deliver an ammonia RO concentrator plant. We can also help with that final 2% concentrated ammonium waste.
Most stripper-scrubbers produce a 35% ammonium sulfate solution by mass (it’s still 65% water). Why ship water off site? We can help you concentrate and crystallize that solution as an ammonium sulfate solid with our SaltMaker products.
In some cases, the ammonium sulfate route can be replaced to use less chemicals, generate more valuable ammonium salts, and result in less ammonium mass at the end of the process. Contact us with your ammonia wastewater chemistry, flow rates, and treatment goals for an options assessment today.
XtremeRO/NF Brine
Concentrator
Next-generation water-maker and brine-concentrator based on reverse osmosis that achieves extreme freshwater recoveries, enabling cost-effective brine management and treatment of challenging organic-laden waters including oil & gas produced waters.
BrineRefine Chemical Softening System
Smart, compact, modular chemical softening system that reduces costs with precision dosing and built-in solids management. Improves recovery and minimizes fouling risk with intelligent controls that communicate with downstream assets, like RO or evaporators.
SaltMaker
AirBreather
The first evaporator-crystallizer with no atmospheric contact, important for water with volatile organics. Choose between no liquid water return or clean water that is safe for discharge.
SaltMaker
MultiEffect
Modern, modular, and intelligently automated evaporator-crystallizer that concentrates brine or produces low volume solids for zero liquid discharge.
Digester wastewaters are by-products of biogas production in anaerobic digesters. They require treatment prior to disposal. To meet regulation compliance, treatment options range from minor interventions such as selective contaminant removal, to major interventions such as minimum and zero liquid discharge (MLD/ZLD).
