Sandusky, Ohio, pork processing facility exposes workers to a release of ammonia gas, leading to two inspections and 43 citations from the US Department of Labor.

Bion’s Ammonia Recovery System is set to recover ammonia in livestock waste streams.

Final economic and energy-efficiency models will be validated during the final design process, which should be completed in the first quarter of 2024.

When at steady state, the system produces an ammonium distillate, the base of Bion’s nitrogen fertilizer products.

Bion has been able to operate the system at 'steady state' for planned short run-times, producing purified, concentrated ammonium bicarbonate base liquid distillate from manure digestate.

The demonstration and optimization system at Fair Oaks is at commercial scale, designed to treat and recover the ammonia from the waste load from approximately 1,500 cattle.
