NanoStrip removes ammonia, nitrogen, and hydrogen sulfide from wastewater, produced water, and digestate — without disrupting your process or the chemistry of your water stream. Bolt-on equipment that turns problem streams into useful water.

What we do

Turning problem streams into useful water.

NanoStrip builds bolt-on equipment that strips ammonia, nitrogen, and hydrogen sulfide from water and biogas streams — reducing toxicity, extending equipment life, and recovering valuable by-products.

Our systems are designed to integrate into existing infrastructure at municipal wastewater plants, agricultural anaerobic digesters, oil & gas produced water operations, and industrial process loops.

Tailored to each feedstock's chemistry. Modular, scalable, and designed around what's already working — not what needs replacing.

Validated at representative stream concentrations. Commercial pilot (1,000–1,500 L) under construction for deployment in 2026.

How it works

Four principles. One integrated system.

Most ammonia stripping is aggressive, process-disrupting, and pushes unwanted chemistry downstream. NanoStrip is engineered differently.

01 / Mechanism

Nanobubble + vacuum stripping

Engineered nanobubbles combined with vacuum-assisted stripping pull ammonia and nitrogen out of the liquid phase and into a controlled gas phase — where they can be captured and recovered downstream.

02 / pH stays where it should

Stable process water. Chemistry on the gas side.

Your water stream's pH stays stable from inlet to outlet — no caustic dosing, no downstream acid correction in the treated water. The chemistry we need to capture ammonia happens on the gas side of the process, not in your water. Cleaner operation, simpler permit profile.

03 / Recovery

Nitrogen as a revenue stream, not a waste.

Captured ammonia is reacted with a configurable acid reagent to form a stable ammonium salt — safely contained, shelf-stable, and readily convertible into fertilizer feedstock. What used to be a disposal liability becomes an off-take opportunity.

04 / Fit

Fits what's built. Fills what's missing.

Modular, scalable, designed to retrofit into existing treatment infrastructure. Sulfate-stable chemistry keeps downstream H2S suppressed. No tearing out what's working — just adding what was missing.

Industries we serve

One technology. Many feedstocks.

Each deployment is tuned to the feedstock chemistry and the facility's existing process. The core capability stays the same.

Municipal wastewater

Reduce ammonia loads entering downstream treatment. Produce cleaner effluent suitable for irrigation or reuse.

Agricultural digesters

Remove ammonia inhibition to improve biogas yields. Recover nitrogen as a usable by-product for fertilizer or feed.

Oil & gas produced water

Strip ammonia, nitrogen, and H2S from produced water streams for safer re-injection, disposal, or beneficial reuse.

Brackish water pre-treatment

Remove nitrogen contaminants ahead of desalination or industrial reuse, extending membrane life and reducing fouling.

Food & industrial effluent

Address high-ammonia effluent from livestock, aquaculture, and protein processing operations with targeted retrofits.

Your feedstock

Have a stream that doesn't fit neatly above? That's often where we're most useful. Tell us about it.

Where we are

Validated. Building. Transparent about both.

The technology is validated. The commercial pilot (1,000–1,500 L) is under construction. Commercial deployment is next. We'd rather show you where we are than pretend we're further along.

Have a water stream that's
hard to treat?

We're actively seeking pilot partners in municipal, agricultural, and industrial sectors. If you have a high-ammonia or high-nitrogen stream that's giving you grief — we want to hear about it.
