Ammonia removal is increasingly replaced by recovery. Recovery allows reuse and value creation in a local circular economy and does not result in release of N2O as a potent greenhouse gas. In the state of the art, ammonia is released from the waste (stripping) and captured in liquid (scrubbing). The liquid is a strong acid that is consumed (high cost) and ends up in the final product (limited value).
To improve the sustainability and profitability of the recovery, we are developing a technology that allows to regenerate the acid on site and produce a pure (free from residues) and concentrated (lower transportation costs) final product.
