Strip more out of waste.

Nanobubble stripping for biogas, wastewater and nutrient recovery.

NanoStrip strips ammonia and nitrogen out of digestate, wastewater and produced water. For digester operators, that means taking out the inhibitor that holds back gas production and recovering the nitrogen as fertilizer. Bolt-on equipment, no rebuild.

What we do

More from the digester you already own.

Ammonia builds up in anaerobic digesters and slows the biology that makes gas. NanoStrip removes it, recovers the nitrogen as a fertilizer product, and sends cleaner water back for reuse.

The same core system treats municipal wastewater, landfill leachate and oil & gas produced water.

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

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 / Light on chemicals

Less chemistry in your water. Capture on the gas side.

The process is designed to keep chemical dosing to a minimum. The acid that captures the ammonia stays in the scrubber on the gas side. None of it goes into your water.

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. 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.

Anaerobic digesters

Take out the ammonia that inhibits the biology, so the digester can handle more high-nitrogen feedstock and make more gas. The nitrogen comes back as fertilizer.

Municipal wastewater

Cut the ammonia load entering downstream treatment and produce cleaner water for reuse.

Landfill leachate

Pretreat high-ammonia leachate ahead of biological treatment, taking load off the systems already in place.

Oil & gas produced water

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

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 lab-validated. Our first field pilot, a 5 m³/day unit for an operating anaerobic digester in Ontario, has engineering nearly complete and is in procurement now, deploying early to mid 2027. 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.
