Bacterial Supplement for Ammonia Reduction in Wastewater Treatment Plants

Why use Formula Nitro?

Municipal wastewater often contains nitrogen, typically in the form of ammonia, which is not removed through secondary treatment. High ammonia levels can increase BOD and promote algae growth in natural water bodies, potentially harming aquatic life.

Nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia into non-toxic nitrate, but excessive nitrate may lead to algae overgrowth. Formula Nitro enhances the natural bacterial population to boost the removal of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate for improved water quality.
