Samsung patents two-step system to strip ammonia from wastewater
Samsung describes a wastewater treatment system that uses two separate stages to remove ammonia. A preprocessor cleans the water first, then a first separator removes some ammonia using an absorbent, while a second separator handles the remaining water.
In the filing’s own words
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an ammonia removal system including: a preprocessor for preprocessing wastewater; a preprocessed water tank for storing the wastewater preprocessed by the preprocessor; a first separator device for receiving a portion of the preprocessed wastewater from the preprocessed water tank, converting the same into ammonia-removed first-processed water, and re-inputting the first-processed water to the preprocessed water tank; a second separator device for receiving the preprocessed wastewater not transmitted to the first separator device from among the preprocessed wastewater including the re-input first-processed water stored in the preprocessed water tank, and converting the same into ammonia-removed second-processed water; and an absorbent supply portion for supplying absorbent to the first separator device.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An ammonia removal system comprising: a preprocessor configured to preprocess wastewater; a preprocessed water tank configured to receive and store the wastewater preprocessed by the preprocessor; a first separator device configured to: receive a portion of the preprocessed wastewater from the preprocessed water tank, convert the portion of the preprocessed wastewater into ammonia-removed first-processed water, and re-input the ammonia-removed first-processed water into the preprocessed water tank; a second separator device configured to: receive the preprocessed wastewater not transmitted to the first separator device from among the preprocessed wastewater including the re-input first-processed water stored in the preprocessed water tank, and convert the preprocessed wastewater not transmitted to the first separator device into ammonia-removed second-processed water; and an absorbent supply portion configured to store absorbent and supply the absorbent to the first separator device.
