Pilot Scale Study: First Demonstration of Hydrophobic Membranes for the Removal of Ammonia Molecules from Rendering Condensate Wastewater.

ABSTRACT: Hydrophobic membrane contactors represent a promising solution to the problem of recycling ammoniacal nitrogen (N-NH₄) molecules from waste, water or wastewater resources. The process has been shown to work best with wastewater streams that present high N-NH₄ concentrations, low buffering capacities and low total suspended solids. The removal of N-NH₄ from rendering condensate, produced during heat treatment of waste animal tissue, was assessed in this research using a hydrophobic membrane contactor. This study investigates how the molecular composition of rendering condensate wastewater undergo changes in its chemistry in order to achieve suitability to be treated using hydrophobic membranes and form a suitable product. The main objective was to test the a
