Ammonia Treat (AM) is a multi-strain Bacillus product formulated for efficient ammonia removal in wastewater treatment systems. It contains high-CFU ammonia reducing bacteria for wastewater that target ammonia and related nitrogen compounds. AM contains both hyper-ammonia-utilizing and denitrifying bacteria for faster, more reliable biological ammonia removal than conventional wastewater blends.
AM lowers operational cost while helping facilities meet effluent ammonia compliance and permit limits. Beyond reducing ammonia in effluent, AM is also effective for animal waste systems, aquaculture (TAN control), and odor management in waste-handling operations.
Ammonia buildup is one of the most difficult challenges for wastewater operations, creating ammonia compliance risks, odor complaints, and higher energy and chemical costs. Spikes in ammonia can overwhelm conventional treatment biology, especially under variable flow, shock loads, or seasonal changes, leading to unstable effluent and operational strain.
Ammonia Treat (AM) was developed to provide wastewater bioaugmentation for ammonia reduction through a high-CFU Bacillus consortium that includes denitrifying bacteria and hyper-ammonia-utilizing strains. These specialized microbes preferentially consume ammonia (NH₃/NH₄⁺) and related nitrogen compounds, accelerating conversion and helping maintain stable nitrogen pathways. By supporting biological ammonia reduction and complementing existing plant biomass, AM strengthens overall process stability and reduces ammonia in effluent.
This specialized blend of bacteria for ammonia removal is used in activated sludge, aeration tanks, sequencing batch reactors (SBR), moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR), oxidation ditches, and aerated lagoons. AM delivers consistent ammonia reduction and cleaner effluent across a wide operating range. In addition to municipal and industrial wastewater, AM is also applied in animal waste treatment systems, aquaculture, shrimp ponds and RAS for TAN control, and in odor-control products.
AM focuses biology where it matters most: fast, stable ammonia conversion that maintains compliance.
AM strengthens day-to-day reliability and shortens recovery after upsets.
Supports ammonia odor control in wastewater to improve site conditions and community perception.
Better biology translates to leaner operations.

Usage rates vary. Reference dose:
A: AM is a high-CFU Bacillus blend featuring hyper-ammonia-utilizing strains for ammonia removal in wastewater treatment. These microbes preferentially consume ammonia (NH₃/NH₄⁺) and related nitrogen species, supporting biological ammonia removal, cleaner effluent, and fewer odor issues.
A: No. AM is not nitrifying bacteria. It uses Bacillus strains that directly utilize ammonia and support balanced nitrogen pathways. In practice, AM complements existing biomass and can support nitrification performance under variable loads.
A: Standard wastewater microbes don’t prioritize ammonia metabolism, leaving plants vulnerable to effluent spikes, odor complaints, and higher aeration costs. AM is purpose-built with ammonia reducing bacteria for wastewater, making it more effective for ammonia control, regulatory compliance, and operational stability.
A: Lower effluent ammonia, steadier operation during load or temperature swings, improved floc and settling, and reduced odor drivers such as ammonia, amines, and hydrogen sulfide.
A: Yes. By improving nitrogen and other nutrient metabolism, AM reduces excess biomass yield and minimizes conditions that trigger ammonia-related odors. It works across aeration basins, clarifiers, lagoons, and collection systems to keep solids and odor under control.
A: Yes. With more efficient ammonia conversion, facilities see lower aeration demand, reduced sludge handling, and less reliance on chemicals for solids separation and odor treatment.
A: Yes. AM performs in activated sludge, sequencing batch reactors (SBR), moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR), oxidation ditches, clarifiers, and aerated lagoons. It is also effective in lift stations, headworks, and collection systems for odor mitigation.
A: AM supports animal waste ammonia reduction in manure pits, lagoons, and barns. For ammonia reductions in aquaculture, it improves water quality by lowering total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) in fish and shrimp ponds, hatcheries, and recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS).
A: AM is offered in multiple formats to fit different dosing needs:
A: Yes. AM contains natural, non-GMO Bacillus strains and is safe for fish, shrimp, aquatic plants, and other aquatic life when applied as directed.
A: Yes. AM is available in bulk and wholesale supply.
A: Yes. AM is offered in private label, OEM, and distributor-ready formats. Custom concentrations and packaging are available to fit specific needs.
A: You can purchase directly from us. We ship domestically and internationally and can support distributor programs.
A: Contact our sales team for pricing and availability via our website.
A: Yes. AM is produced in the United States under strict quality controls and CFU verification.
