Treatment for nitrogen compounds in wastewater

Treatment for nitrogen compounds in wastewater

Treatment for nitrogen compounds in wastewater

(OP)
My electronics mfg. plant is increasing the amount of ammonia compounds used in the process. We are approaching the nitrogen limit on our discharge permit. I am interested in hearing about treatment technologies that would allow reduction of N. We operate a pretreatment (primarily neutralization) plant prior to sending to sewer authority. Thanks in advance.

RE: Treatment for nitrogen compounds in wastewater

bobhearn11;

The processes for nitrogen removal are complex and there is no easy answer.  I am a principal engineer with Excel Engineering Consultants, Inc. and we have extensive experience dealing with these issues.  It depends if the waste is primarily inorganic or organic and the flow rates in order to determine which process may be the most applicable.  Contact me at casselberryengineer@yahoo.com and we'll discuss it further.  Also let me know the manufacturing process and where the company is located.  Look forward to hearing from you.
