The technology recovers the high-phosphate mineral Struvite from treatment pipes and equipment and can save municipal utilities and treatment plants significant operating and maintenance costs.
Using the AirPrex system, operators can prevent crystallization in their biosolids train and reduce phosphate recycling by up to 90%. Recovering Struvite can drastically reduce sludge dewatering costs by achieving dryer cake solids and reducing polymer consumption. In addition, AirPrex ultimately lowers equipment maintenance requirements and creates a fertilizer that can be resold.
