The AmmEL system will be designed, manufactured and assembled at ENPAR’s facilities in Guelph and Cambridge.
The modular demonstration unit will be designed to treat about 100,000 lt of waste water per day and convert ammonia in municipal wastewater to environmentally friendly nitrogen gas.
The technology will remove the ammonia to levels below those mandated by the provincial and federal governments, thereby fulfilling municipal and industrial waste water treatment requirements.
ENPAR Technologies president and CEO Gene Shelp said that the technology has the potential to improve the management of nitrogen compounds in waste water, thereby mitigating the detrimental effects of excessive nitrogen loading resulting from conventional treatment.
