Abstract

Abstract: Membrane technology is a growing alternative for ammonia removal and recovery from wastewater compared to many other water treatment processes, such as strippers, scrubbers, and deaeration systems. Among the available alternatives, the TransMembraneChemiSorption (TMCS) has been gaining consideration, especially under certain operating conditions. TMCS using a membrane contactor is a unique separation process that is transitioning from research and pilot phases to field installations. This paper reviews the results of such an ammonia removal system using membrane contactors. Abstract : By means of the TransMembraneChemiSorption (TMCS) process a volatile component, such as free ammonia gas, can be removed from water by direct chemisorption into a liquid receiving phase. A hydrophobic membrane enables the liquid‐gas‐liquid contact without mixing of fluids. The results of the first industrial system are discussed.
