ST-W
About the productST-W
Liquid streams with high concentrations of ammoniacal nitrogen pose a significant challenge in wastewater treatment. Biological removal requires high carbon and oxygen demand, increasing energy consumption and operating costs. As an alternative, ST-W stripping columns enable ammonia removal through physicochemical processes, with pH and temperature control to convert ammonium (NH₄⁺) into free ammonia (NH₃). Their design allows operation with high concentrations of suspended solids (TSS), making them suitable for slurry and digestate treatment. Their modular configuration enables capacity expansion as required.
Applications
- Food industry, landfills
Advantages
- Applicable to streams with high ammonia loads.
- Operation with high concentrations of suspended solids
- Ammonia removal by physicochemical means (stripping)
- Independence from external carbon sources
- Reduction of oxygen demand in downstream biological treatment
- Modular and scalable configuration
- Possibility of ammonia recovery in a later stage (absorption)
