Ammonia – A Much Maligned Mixture
Unless, unlike me, you are a bit of a boffin, ammonia and how it benefits us does not figure much in our awareness. In fact, to many, it is a much-maligned mixture of elements. After all, it smells terrible to most people and if it is concentrated to high levels, such...
Climate Change and the COVID Crisis
April 2020. A global pandemic has taken the world by surprise and, although it is still too early to fully appreciate the consequences, the auguries for a rapid recovery do not appear to be encouraging. The drive towards renewable energy and the implementation of the...
Removal, Recovery and Re-use of Ammoniacal Nitrogen from Wastewater for Power Generation
Power generation from the ammonia contained in wastewater at first sounds a bit like a green-lobby dream. Taking a pollutant, that requires so much effort to control, and using it for a beneficial outcome is in fact a real possibility. It has been estimated that the combined global emissions of ammonia are to the order of 800,000 tonnes per day.

Thermal Ammonia Stripping
Organics has developed specialised equipment for removing and recovery ammonia from different wastewater streams. Ammonia is not only a harmful environmental agent, but it is also a highly useful element that can be used in a variety of industrial situations, including to produce energy.
