Membrane for Selective Removal of Ammonium Ions from Water
Eltron Research, Inc.
eltron@eltronresearch.com
Boulder, CO

INNOVATION
The firm has developed an ammonium-ion selective membrane to be used in a flowing electro dialysis cell configuration for the removal of low levels of ammonium from aqueous effluent streams.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

The firm's phase III plans are to form a separate jointly owned company between Eltron and an investment group for the fabrication and marketing of modular electrodialysis stack technology.*

COMMERCIALIZATION

	There are over 1000 elctro dialysis plants installed world wide with the ability to treat 1000 cubic meters of water a day.*
	A brief listing of sectors that could benefit from electrode ionization system are listed: Fish Farms - (Breeding tanks), Animal Husbandry - (ground water run-off), Waste Water Treatment Plants, Industrial/Commercial Outlets - (Hotels, Hospitals, and others)*
	The firm has received six patents in relation to this technology.*

GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS

	The firm is a small high technology company dedicated to performing basic and applied research in materials, environmental and catalyst technologies.*
	The described technology will further enhance the firm's strategic position in water purification.*
	The firm's goal is to be compatible with anticipated NASA needs for ammonium ion removal from space station waste water.*
