ammonium removal from conc. waste water
ammonium removal from conc. waste water
(OP)
Hi,
I have a concentrated waste stream that contains ammonium (sulfates & chlorides)
concentration is high (10-50 g/l), flowrate is small (<0.5m3/hr)
What would be the best technique for removing ammonia?(transformation into nitrates is not an option, use of NaCl0 is not an option)
Will a nitrification denitrification (2 steps bio) be my only choice?
Do I need to dilute?

If you have an existing wastewater treatment plant, you can probably just meter this material in as a nutrient.

The idea of using it as a nutrient is attractive. We have to be very careful about the possible other contaminants, but this is an option. Air stripping? but where does the ammonia go? in the air? This is pollution transfer.
dg47 what would be the maximum allowable concentration for anoxic bio treatment?

I'm not a water engineer, but have you heard of the SHARON process? It's a Dutch technique my company's been involved in.
'SHARON - stable high activity ammonia removal over nitrate'

As I said, I'm no water engineer, but I hope it helps someone.
