TY - JOUR A1 - Richter, Lea A1 - Wichern, Marc A1 - Grömping, Markus A1 - Robecke, Ulrich A1 - Haberkamp, Jens T1 - Ammonium recovery from process water of digested sludge dewatering by membrane contactors T2 - Water Practice & Technology N2 - Membrane contactors are a promising alternative for nitrogen removal and recovery from process water compared to other physicochemical and biological sidestream treatment processes. Münster wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is the first municipal WWTP in Germany operating a full-scale membrane contactor system to improve the nitrogen elimination and recovery efficiency. Factors influencing the operation and membrane performance are investigated in an accompanying research project. Additional operational aspects of the applied membrane modules are investigated in detail using a bench-scale membrane contactor. First results of the full-scale application demonstrate a high nitrogen removal efficiency of >95%.
