Nitrifying Bacteria (1L)
The fastest way to remove ammonia from your water
Ideal for wastewater treatment, WaterTreats Nitrifying Bacteria is the quickest and easiest way to reduce ammonia levels in your water. The super-concentrated solution is made up of microbial cultures (including nitrosomonas, nitrospira, nitrobacter and heterotrophic nitrifiers at the highest concentrations in the industry) as well as carrying agents that boost the growth and reproduction of nitrifying bacteria. Nitrifying bacteria break down ammonia through the process of nitrification.How nitrifying bacteria reduce ammonia
Nitrifying bacteria are any kind of aerobic bacteria that use inorganic nitrogen compounds as an energy source. An essential part of the nitrogen cycle, nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia to nitrate compounds through a two-step process called nitrification.This nitrification process involves:
Step 1: Nitrifying bacteria carry out aerobic oxidation of ammonium (NH4+) or ammonia (NH3), converting these to nitrite (NO2−).
Step 2: Nitrite-oxidising bacteria then oxidise nitrites to nitrates (NO3−). Nitrates are non-toxic to plants; in fact, plants can break these compounds down further.
The reason nitrifying bacteria can perform nitrification is because they carry several special enzymes, including ammonia monooxygenase (which oxidises ammonia to hydroxylamine), hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (which oxidises hydroxylamine to nitric oxide), and nitrite oxidoreductase (which oxidises nitrite to nitrate).
Application
The following dose rates are guidelines that may need to be increased or decreased according to your individual conditions. Results will depend on factors such as ammonia levels, water temperature, and water movement (circulated, aerated water provides best results).It’s recommended you treat your water, monitor the results, and adjust your dose rate based on these results.
How to apply
Dilute with 10-20L of dam/lagoon water. Pour around various sections of the dam/lagoon, or close to aerators/fountains if present. In wastewater treatment plants, pour/dose at the head of the plant.Dosage
As a basic starter, we suggest a dose rate of approximately 10mL of Nitrifying Bacteria solution per 1,000L of water. This said, there are many variables to consider, please contact us for a recommended dose based on your circumstances.Note: This solution contains live cultures so it must be store in a refrigerator.
