Sour Water Ammonia Recovery - a Low Carbon Intensity Product

Crude, Sustainability


Technology exists to recover ammonia from Sour Water. This ammonia is considered a low carbon intensity (CI) source since it was a waste stream and can be used, for example, as a liquid hydrogen carrier for further low CI uses. This session will highlight technologies to enable ammonia recovery, utilization, and how ammonia recovery meshes into an overall facility nitrogen and sulfur management strategy.
