Abstract: The present invention is a process, a method, and system for recovery and concentration of dissolved ammonium bicarbonate from a wastewater containing ammonia (NH3) using gas separation, condensation, filtration, and crystallization, each at controlled operating temperatures. The present invention includes 1) removal of ammonia from waste (sludges, semi-solids, and solids and liquids) without the use of chemicals at a temperature of at least 80 degrees Celsius, 2) mixing of the gaseous ammonia with carbon dioxide and water vapor and concentrating dissolved ammonium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate using reverse osmosis at a temperature of between about 35 and 50 degrees Celsius, and 3) crystallizing concentrated dissolved ammonium carbonate and ammonium bicarbonate at a temperature of less than about 35 degrees Celsius to form solid ammonium bicarbonate and ammonium carbonate.

Abstract: An ammonia capture recovery system is disclosed. The ammonia capture recovery system may include pretreatment with conventional solid removal devices and a single or a series of hydrophobic membrane concentrators receiving a heated ammonium containing influent either heated to a sufficient temperature to convert ammonia to ammonium or containing sufficient alkali to convert ammonia to ammonium in the influent. The heated ammonium containing liquid is pumped through the hydrophobic membrane concentrator and the hydrophobic membrane concentrator receives an acid. The acid then reacts with the extracted gaseous ammonia and ultimately forms a saturated ammonium salt product that is discharged from the hydrophobic membrane concentrator, the hydrophobic membrane concentrator includes a feed line, a plurality of hydrophobic membrane modules, a diluted acid source and a concentrated acid source and tanks to receive the saturated ammonium salt product and the low ammonia effluent.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and process for livestock waste management that operates more efficiently than existing technologies with less maintenance and with less chemical process components (and thus chemical handling) with recovery of useful end products. The invention comprises solids separation of the waste to remove solids in excess of about 0.50 mm in size prior to anaerobic digestion followed directly by solids separation preferably using an ultra filter and then ammonia recovery.

Abstract: Methods and systems for treating wastewater and process water streams are provided. In some embodiments, the wastewater and/or process water to be treated contains a target chemical (e.g., ammonia and/or ammonium). The methods and systems described herein may include recovering the target chemical from the water stream and/or producing a desired product (e.g., a fertilizer such as an ammonium salt) from the target chemical. In one set of embodiments, a method of treating wastewater and/or process water involves introducing the water stream into a system that includes a combination of two or more of, or all of, a reverse osmosis system, a reaction and separation system (e.g., a vacuum distillation system or other suitable separation system), and a membrane reactor system.
