**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** THE INTENSIFICATION OF ANIMAL OPERATIONS DEMANDS NEW TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE BEYOND THE LAND APPLICATION OF MANURE WASTEWATER TO AVOID ADVERSELY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS FROM EXCESS NUTRIENTS AND EMERGING CONTAMINANTS SUCH AS CHEMICALS AND PATHOGENS. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO FILL THE TECHNOLOGY GAP TO ENABLE ANIMAL OPERATIONS TO NOT ONLY MITIGATE WATER QUANTITY AND QUALITY PROBLEMS, BUT ALSO CONVERT THE LIABILITY TO REVENUE. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY DEVELOPING A NOVEL SELF-SUSTAINING IN-SITU AD STRIPPING EVAPORATION SYSTEM. THE TECHNOLOGY CAN DELIVER MANY BENEFITS INCLUDING CLEAN WATER, PHOSPHORUS AND POTASSIUM RECOVERY, REMOVAL OF AMMONIA INHIBITION, COST REDUCTION THROUGH IMPROVED PROCESS EFFICIENCY, AND DECONSTRUCTION OF PATHOGENS. THE TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES INCLUDE: (1) DEVELOP A BENCH-SCALE IN-SITU AD STRIPPING EVAPORATION SYSTEM TO PRODUCE CLEAN WATER AND VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS FROM DAIRY MANURE WASTEWATER; (2) DEVELOP HYDRODYNAMIC, BIOCHEMICAL AND CHEMICAL KINETIC MODELS TO DESIGN NEW REACTOR STRUCTURES AND SYSTEMFOR SCALE-UP; (3) OPTIMIZE THE NOVEL PROCESS AND CONDUCT ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS.THE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE TECHNICAL DATA THAT ARE CRITICAL FOR PROOFING THE CONCEPT AND FOR DOCUMENTING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE PROCESS. THE RESULTS WILL PROVIDE THE FOUNDATION FOR FURTHER SCALE-UP TOWARDS COMMERCIALIZATION. THIS TECHNOLOGY OFFERS A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE, ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE AND SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE OPTION THAN THAT OF THE EXISTING PRACTICES. THIS TECHNOLOGY ADDRESSES THE PROGRAM'S PRIORITY ON THE PROPER MANAGEMENT OF AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES AND IMPROVED EFFICIENCY OF AGRICULTURAL WATER USE TO PROTECT WATER QUALITY AND INCREASE WATER AND FOOD SECURITY.
