Competitive Advantages
- Treats high strength wastewater
- Reduces ammonia toxicity
- Cost effective
- Biopolymer production
Summary
Our researchers have developed a Hybrid Algal Photosynthesis Ion Exchange (HAPIX) process to reduce the ammonia toxicity in wastewater thereby facilitating its treatment. The invention can be used for treatment of high ammonia strength wastewater, such as industrial wastewaters (e.g. from tanneries, food processing, fertilizer, explosives manufacturing, landfill leachate, source separated urine, and centrate from anaerobic digestion). The process will reduce the operation & maintenance cost of high strength ammonia wastewater treatment while producing algal biomass that can be used to produce versatile byproducts, such as fertilizer, animal feed and biofuel.
