Ammonia reduction - reliable and cost-effective plant operation

  • Landfill leachate
  • Liquid manure
  • Fermentation residues
  • Waste water from mechanical-biological waste treatment (MBT)
  • Return liquor from digestion towers
  • Sludge blow-down

Effluents from waste are highly polluted and therefore require a reliable and effective treatment before being fed back to the local sewage treatment plant or the nature. Many conventional technologies fail to handle these waste waters successfully. Due to high concentration of organic substances, salts and most of all environmentally harmful nitrogen compounds, such as ammonium (NH4), nitrite (NO2) and nitrate (NO3) these effluents are toxic, can cause eutrophication and may lead to significant odour emissions, sometimes the greenhouse gas N2O.

It is important to eliminate these compounts in the effluent thoroughly and effectively before discharge into the sewers or Nature. For this, a special technology as well as operational experience regarding the interaction of biological and physiochemical processes is required.
