    Ammonia stripping is a process that uses air to remove ammonia from wastewater. It works best for wastewater with ammonia levels between 10-100 mg/L. The process relies on air temperature, with higher temperatures achieving more efficient ammonia removal. While simple and effective, ammonia stripping requires re-pumping water and may produce air pollution if ammonia levels discharged exceed regulations. It also does not remove other forms of nitrogen like nitrites.
