Produced Water for Sustainable Ammonia Production

Solution Developer

MCALPHA INC.

Project Description

This project leverages Catalytic Membrane Reactor (CMR) technology to transform produced water from oil and gas operations into a sustainable source for ammonia production. By utilizing wastewater as a feedstock for hydrogen generation, this innovative approach significantly reduces freshwater dependency, lowers emissions, and enhances resource efficiency in the production of ammonia--a critical feedstock for fertilizers, chemicals, and clean fuels.

Key Benefits:
Water Reuse & Sustainability - Converts produced water, an often-discarded byproduct, into a valuable input for ammonia synthesis.
Lower Carbon Footprint - Reduces reliance on conventional hydrogen production methods, leading to decarbonization in industrial processes.
Cost-Effective & Scalable - Offers a commercially viable and modular solution adaptable to both offshore and onshore applications.
Integration with Existing Infrastructure - Can be implemented within refineries, petrochemical plants, and industrial hydrogen hubs.

This project aligns with global sustainability goals, advancing clean hydrogen economies, circular water usage, and low-emission industrial processes, making ammonia production more resilient, sustainable, and economically viable.

Support Requested

Support Required from Technology Adopters, Funders, and Support Services 1. Technology Adopters (Industrial Partners & End-Users) We seek strategic partnerships with refineries, petrochemical plants, ammonia producers, and energy companies to: Pilot & validate CMR technology for ammonia production using produced water. Integrate with existing operations to enhance sustainability and reduce carbon
