Product Description

Ammonia Treat (AM) is a blend of scientifically selected microbes formulated to drastically enhance ammonia removal in wastewater treatment operations.  As a beneficial side effect BOD/COD and sludge also decrease.  Through competitive exclusion, organic nitrogen is converted into amino acids, peptides and aldehydes.  AM bacteria are hyper-ammonia accumulators, directly consuming ammonia and converting nitrates into elemental nitrogen, reducing nitrates in discharge.

AM is a blend of facultative anaerobic microbial cultures, allowing it to function both with and without oxygen and across a wide pH and temperature range.  These bugs love ammonia, let them at your waste stream today.

Key Features

  • Contains both hyper ammonia utilizers and ammonia oxidizers
  • Microbes both directly consume ammonia and also break it down into nitrogen and hydrogen, then consume the nitrogen for their growth activity
  • Hydrogen is oxidized and becomes part of the water molecule
  • Effective in wide range of temperatures, from 15-45°C (60-113°F)
  • Effective in wide pH range, from 5.0 - 9.0
  • Works together with existing microbial consortia
  • Works both with and without oxygen

Key Benefits

  • Meet discharge standards and avoid fines and penalties
  • Reduces treatment costs
  • Increases treatment capacity
  • Eliminates ammonia and other bad odors
  • Reduces sludge buildup
  • Improves WWTP output reliability
  • Builds a healthy and reliable microbial community of the right kind of beneficial bacteria

Applicable Uses

Ideal for use in high-ammonia content wastewater, landfill leachate effluent treatment and anywhere where you need to pinch your nose.

Product Forms

Available in concentrated powder and liquid form (custom CFU counts available)
Case Study
Location
Chengdu, China
Problem
Rural landfill leachate with ammonia levels of 850 ml/L with strong ammonia odors
Treatment
Bio-Green Ammonia Treat (AM) microbes applied to raw landfill leachate in an aeration tank.  pH levels adjusted to neutral.
Results
Ammonia levels reduced from 850 mg/L to below 100 mg/L in 10 hours treatment and below 10 mg/L in 24 hours treatment
