  • AmRHEX Technology (developed by 3XR) removes ammonia from wastewater containing 500 ppm N to 5000 ppm N. Concurrently this naturally produced ammonia is recovered in a liquid containing 6 % N. This is marketed and sold by 3XR as GRO-FLO 6% N fertilizer. By its nature this relatively high strength natural organically sourced nitrogen fertilizer is local in origin and is available to displace ammonia manufactured in chemical plants and transported long distances to market.

    3XR was established in 1994 to invent, develop, and commercialize sustainable wastewater treatment technologies. Several years of R&D have led to the realization of a commercially attractive solution that cost effectively removes and recovers ammonia from high strength wastewater such as that found in flows from bio-gas digesters and land fills.


AmRHEX (Ammonia Recovering Horizontal EXtractor), is a proprietary, low profile, highly efficient ammonia stripper/absorber employing 3XRs SpiraFlow media. 3XR is constructing a 300 cubic meter per day (0.079 MGD, 55 USGPM) demonstration facility for fall 2011 operation. AmRHEX (patents pending) is available for integration into systems designed by others. AmRHEX has been tailored to the removal and recovery of high concentration ammonia from liquid streams. AmRHEX is designed to economically resolve ammonia problems for biosolids digester operations, bio-gas facilities, agriculture, municipal, residential and commercial installations.

 

Ammonia Removal

Ammonia Removal and Recovery

Environmental sustainability and pollution control concerns require that ammonia neither be released to the atmosphere (NH3) or enter the natural waters (NH4+). AmRHEX Stripper/Absorber facilitates this objective by effectively and economically removing and recovering ammonia from wastewater and making it available for subsequent reuse as organically generated liquid nitrogen fertilizer. AmRHEX extracts the ammonia near its source where concentrations are highest and processes are most efficient. This Carbon Negative process features Reduced Electricity use Reduced GHG Emmissions and Sustainable Ammonia Recycling thus displacing chemical ammonia production
