Amonia gas absorption technology (AGATE)

Objective

The technical objectives of the project are to: Develop a new sustainable technology for ammonia recovery from off-gas with >99% efficiency, which is also reliable,safe and has 50% lower operational costs; Convert ammonia from the off gasses into a product that can be either re-used directly in a production process or can be sold on the market as a chemical product with standard quality specifications; Develop, integrate, scale-up and test the different components of the processes to obtain a totally integrated zero emission solution, with a flexible and efficient character. The technical program contains 11 Work Packages (WP), each addressing the main technological aspects. It starts with the quantification of the ammonia emissions from industrial flue gas streams at end-users and ends with the dissemination and exploitation of the new technology and advanced project management. Laboratory experiments will be carried out to develop the membrane gas absorption technology for the ammonia recovery. One of the major activities is the development of new membranes suitable for fast ammonia transmission through the membrane interface, while retaining the stripping fluid.. The results will be used to design a pilot unit. After construction and start-up, long term trials with the pilot unit will be performed at two end users. An economic and technical evaluation quantifies the costs and benefits in comparison with the existing practices. The review, assessment and evaluation WP has a major steering impact. The project has an important process dissemination and exploitation component including a strategy for market introduction and information dissemination. The market objective is to have this new technology being implemented in at least 20 % of the suitable facilities within the first 10 years, leading to cumulative sales of Ç 2.940.000.000 The cooperation between the 8 SME's and the large enterprise Acheson Produktie BV as end user is beneficial for the SME partn
