Drinking Water Operator Develops Innovative Nitrate Destruction Technology with Support from SAMCO Containerized Pilot Plant
Drinking Water Operator Develops Innovative Nitrate Destruction Technology with Support from SAMCO Containerized Pilot Plant
Treat wastewater and brine waste streams, extracting nitrates for electrochemical conversion to nitrogen. Project specifications: 30 GPM wastewater treatment rate, 20 GPM brine treatment rate & 11 pounds/day nitrate conversion rate - SAMCO delivered a pilot oxidation plant to support the client’s proprietary nitrate destruction process. Packaged within two Conex freight containers, the plant consisted of an ion exchange (IX) system for extraction of nitrate from wastewater, and an electrochemical cell for treatment of brine resulting from media regeneration. The efficient system supported recycling of waste brine, while its containerized design was optimized for the client’s environment.
