FlexEDR Ammonia

Saltworks to Accelerate Commercialization of FlexEDR Ammonia

October 4th, 2016

Saltworks will accelerate commercialization of its FlexEDR Ammonia technology with recently awarded funding from Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) aimed at both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications.

 

FlexEDR Ammonia reliably removes ammonia from municipal wastewater, landfill leachate, and other waste streams. Ammonia in wastewater is a growing problem due to its detrimental impact on aquatic ecosystems.

Rendered image of a Saltworks FlexEDR stack

FlexEDR Ammonia works in extreme conditions where conventional approaches are unable to operate. It is insensitive to temperature, salinity, or varying ammonia loads and is not affected by contaminants that challenge traditional biological systems. FlexEDR Ammonia also turbocharges biologically based wastewater treatment plants by removing ammonia from centrate, their concentrated ammonia stream, effectively increasing plant capacity.

 

“Sustainable Development Technology Canada is very proud to support the commercialization of Saltworks’ innovative technology,” said Leah Lawrence, SDTC President and Chief Executive Officer. “This project will create green jobs for the local economy, increase efficiency in the sector and provide economic and environmental benefits for all Canadians.”

 

Saltworks has operated FlexEDR Ammonia on municipal wastewater treatment plant centrate and landfill leachate. The technology uses Saltworks’ ElectroChem platform with a different IonFlux membrane and process. Commercial production is based on widely used electrodialysis reversal (EDR) equipment, including the ion exchange membranes, stacks, and plants built by Saltworks.

 

Saltworks is presently seeking additional site implementation partners. Read more about ammonia wastewater treatment.

Saltworks Presents at WateReuse & IWC

Watereuse Symposium

Saltworks Presents at WateReuse & IWC

October 28th, 2015

Saltworks presented innovative case studies at the 2015 WateReuse Symposium that demonstrate new ways to treat some of industries’ most challenging waters. One study focused on a mine water treatment system that solves the centuries-old challenge of calcium sulfate scale—permanently changing water chemistry to enable reliable low-cost treatment.

 

Another study focused on how enhanced oil recovery (EOR) produced water can be recycled and value added by re-activating the expensive polymer residue left in the water. An assortment of true zero liquid discharge (true ZLD) projects, completed with the SaltMaker Evaporator Crystallizer, was also presented. Catch Saltworks presenting again at the upcoming International Water Conference.

 

ElectroChem Salt Splitter-RO is the answer to the greatest challenge in mine water treatment: calcium sulfate scale recovery limits. When used on these scaling mine waters, the system resulted in over 96% recoveries and 80% lower cost than a conventional lime-RO-evaporator treatment scheme.

 

ElectroChem Produced Water Desalter treated EOR produced water from multiple operators worldwide. The system not only desalinates the produced water for reuse, but it also re-activates EOR polymers and increases the viscosity of the water to increase yields.

 

Also presented were results from Saltworks’ recent true ZLD projects completed with the SaltMaker Evaporator Crystallizer. The SaltMaker treated landfill leachate, oil sands evaporator blowdown, and shale gas produced water to produce high-quality freshwater and solids.

Mobile Fleet of SaltMaker Pilots Treats Demanding Wastewaters

November 20th, 2014

Saltworks Technologies’ fleet of mobile SaltMaker pilots spent the summer touring North America and producing freshwater from some of the world’s toughest waters.

 

May started with a pilot at a major USA landfill treating six different landfill wastewaters – the water that percolates through a landfill. Two other SaltMakers successfully treated shale gas produced waters in both Northern Canada and West Texas, producing freshwater for re-use and solids for waste volume minimization.

 

A fourth SaltMaker pilot spent the summer treating water from Alberta’s oil sands – the wastewater left over from steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). This challenging wastewater would normally be disposed of in a disposal well.

 

“Four successful SaltMaker pilots in demanding applications where conventional systems have struggled proves the ruggedness and resilience of the SaltMaker platform,” stated Malcolm Man, Saltworks’ VP of Business Development. “All plants operated on varied water sources, reliably producing solids and freshwater 24-7.”

 

Saltworks is continuing to dispatch pilot units for field operation on varying wastewater sources and is accepting orders for full-size systems.
