Project Background
The overall goal of the project is to demonstrate the operation and feasibility of a permeable membrane system to recover and concentrate ammonia from three waste treatment and collection systems. This technology, which can also be applied to lagoon systems, has the potential to not only prevent significant ammonia volatilization but to also recover ammonia in a useful and transportable form.
