The Challenge with Nutrients
When nutrients aren’t managed properly and enter local waterways they can feed algae blooms that harm the environment.
Our nutrient recovery solutions reclaim phosphorus and nitrogen from wastewater to both improve water quality and produce a sustainable phosphate fertilizer, Crystal Green Pearl®.
When nutrients aren’t managed properly and enter local waterways they can feed algae blooms that harm the environment.
We view the nutrients in wastewater as a valuable source of renewable phosphate and nitrogen that are waiting to be recovered. That’s why we’ve developed our nutrient recovery solutions to sustainably recover these nutrients for use as high-value granular phosphate fertilizers while also removing unwanted nutrients from water discharges.
The core of Ostara’s comprehensive nutrient management solution is the Pearl system, a fluid bed reactor designed for efficient removal of phosphorus and recovery of a high-purity fertilizer product.
WASSTRIP (Waste Activated Sludge Stripping to Remove Internal Phosphorus) is a value-add option for Pearl systems, providing critical benefits to facilities operating anaerobic digestion.
Our Crystal Green Pearl fertilizer consists of phosphate, nitrogen and magnesium reclaimed from wastewater systems, helping to solve nutrient management challenges.
Recover nutrients in your wastewater treatment facility to convert phosphate into a sustainable, high-efficiency fertilizer, while also reducing operational costs and improving your environmental footprint.
When using Ostara solutions to recover a valuable resource, you partner with your community and farmers to support our collective future. The phosphorus we recover into sustainable Crystal Green Pearl phosphate fertilizer provides a guaranteed revenue stream while improving your environmental footprint.
In September 2021, Ostara and Evoqua announced a new partnership to share nutrient recovery technology through Evoqua’s marketing, sales, and project delivery resources. In this partnership with Ostara, Evoqua gains access to the most established technologies in the rapidly growing nutrient recovery market, while also enhancing many of the established Evoqua technologies that complement Ostara solutions.
Through this license agreement, Evoqua will sell and deliver nutrient management systems using Ostara’s Pearl® and WASSTRIP® wastewater treatment technologies across North America and Europe.
