Ammonia is toxic to aquatic life and can place a direct demand on oxygen in certain surface waters or can lead to the excessive growth of aquatic algae. Ammonia, a form of nitrogen, is a common component of wastewater, resulting from the biological decomposition of organic matter. Ammonia can be toxic to aquatic life when it is discharged into small receiving streams with low dilution. To meet a federal ammonia removal requirement, the degree of treatment must increase substantially. Ferric chloride and aluminum sulfate products are considered hazardous and used to eliminate ammonia and to starve the microbes of needed nutrients which kill the microbes population. BioRem-2000 Water Treatment TM Nh3 reacts with the ammonia and absorbs it on to non-soluble amino acids and is mixed into the sludge by precipitation. The ammonia is non-leachable, non-hazardous and non-releasable.
