In Phase I, we will demonstrate the technical feasibility and economic viability of using a bi-functional sorbent/catalyst wheel to remove ammonia from poultry house ventilation air (to protect workers and animals) and control the ammonia emissions from poultry farms (to protect the neighbors and environment). TDA's technology will employ a low energy penalty multifunctional system that will convert ammonia to nitrogen and water without the need of additional technologies to neutralize adsorbed ammonia. The process is continuous and simple, providing uninterrupted ammonia removal while reducing operating costs. The specific goal of the Phase I project is to develop a high capacity bi-functional sorbent/ catalyst system that can remove ammonia from poultry house ventilation systems down to ppb levels and demonstrate its techno-economic viability.
