The AmmEL-LC Process
AmmEL-LC (Low Concentration) is a continuous patented process that incorporates 3 fluidized bed ion exchange columns linked to an electrochemical reactor. It operates exceptionally well even in cool ambient conditions and provides high rate ammonia removal from startup regardless of temperature and nutrient variability .
The process involves pumping wastewater containing ammonia into 2 sequential fluidized bed ion exchange columns while the third column is regenerated using a simple salt solution. Once the lead column is loaded the sequence of the columns is automatically changed to maintain maximum removal rate.
At the core of AmmEL-HC is a patented electrochemical reactor that converts the ammonia dissolved in the regenerant liquid to gaseous Nitrogen without producing nitrates or greenhouse gases . Chemically inert and occupying an 80 per cent proportion of our atmosphere, gaseous nitrogen is the ideal end product for safe dispersal into the environment.
Testing has demonstrated the effectiveness of the AmmEL-LC system in reducing the ammonia concentrations from storm water and wastewater streams.
Other advantages of AmmEL-LC include:
- Fluidized beds require low maintenance
- Less expensive than conventional processes, including biological treatment
- Does not convert ammonia to nitrate and does not produce the greenhouse gas N 2 O
- Can operate intermittently without start-up delays
- Fully automated - low maintenance
- Remotely monitored
