Cost-Effective Ammonia Recovery System for Europe

ThermoEnergy targets the 27 EU economies that will be forced to make significant investments in their water treatment infrastructure to comply with wastewater nitrogen/ammonia treatment regulations by 2015. "A groundbreaking European Nitrogen Assessment (ENA), conducted by 200 experts from 21 countries and 89 organizations, estimates that the annual cost of damage caused by nitrogen across Europe is euro 70 to 320 billion ($100-460 billion)," said Cary Bullock, President and CEO of ThermoEnergy Corporation. "Additionally, a Frost and Sullivan study estimates the annual market for wastewater treatment equipment for nitrogen removal in Europe alone, is in the multibillion dollar range." "ThermoEnergy's ARP process uses physical rather than biological chemistries to recover and convert ammonia into salable fertilizers," said Bullock, "In addition to being extremely cost competitive, the ARP process is easy to maintain, has a very small footprint, and can handle varying conditions much more readily than biological systems for ammonia recovery."
