Ammonia projects present unique challenges. Saltworks can use selective ammonia removal to help you to manage your ammonia load. Our solutions ease the burden on your downstream processes such as biological ammonia treatment or your discharge point.
Our experts will improve your process for superior economics, better risk management, and treatment outcomes.
Depending on your project needs, you could benefit from an ammonia stripper process, or from upgrading an existing stripper. Stripping ammonia produces a concentrated ammonium sulfate solution (~35%). This involves a high pH stripping tower that removes ammonia, which is then absorbed in a low pH scrubbing tower. The solution may be:
Stripping does not fit every project. Sometimes other options or combinations make sense, including:
We can help you work through your Ammonia Peak Shaving options, improving your treatment outcomes and economics. Contact us with your wastewater details, treatment goals, and flow rates.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to removing ammonia from wastewater. Saltworks can help you understand your options, including hybridizing solutions with biological treatments to boost capacity and reliability, or provide entirely non-biological pathways.
The manufacturing of microelectronics generates unique wastewaters. Saltworks can help you to manage wastewater flows from microelectronics production, targeting ammonia, metals, and ions for removal, reducing brine waste, and allowing water reuse.
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).
Excessive phenolic compounds are harmful to human health and the environment. Chlorophenols, by-products of chlorinating phenol-containing water, are carcinogens. A treatment system needs to be chosen and engineered carefully, with consideration of specific wastewater chemistry, operating conditions, and economics.
