Formula Nitro
-
Municipal wastewater often contains nitrogen, mainly as ammonia, which secondary treatment processes usually do not remove. When released into lakes, streams, or estuaries, ammonia can increase biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) or trigger excessive algae growth. Additionally, ammonia in wastewater effluent can be harmful to aquatic life.
Additional biological processes beyond secondary treatment can assist in addressing this issue. Nitrifying bacteria convert ammonia into non-toxic nitrate through nitrification, reducing its toxic effects in the effluent. However, excess nitrate can still pose problems, as it can fuel uncontrolled algae growth. To counter this, the denitrification process transforms nitrate into nitrogen gas, which is harmlessly released into the atmosphere.
Formula Nitro introduces specialized bacterial strains that boost the existing microbial community in wastewater. These bacteria help significantly reduce ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels, enhancing the overall quality of treated effluent and making it safer for environmental discharge.

** Add as regularly as possible. If a day is missed, add that day’s product with the next dosage.Dosage rate will vary with flow rates, retention times, and system variations. Avoid adding to the treatment system at locations with toxic or otherwise adverse pH, DO, or temperature conditions at peak levels.
For optimal results, the wastewater and treatment system should meet the following conditions:
Optimum Minimum Influent pH 7.0 5.0 Dissolved Oxygen, ppm 2.0+ 1.0+ C/N/P Ratio 100/10/1 100/5/1 Temperature, °C 30° (86° F) 10° (50° F) Toxic Metals, ppm (e.g., hex. chromium) 0 0 See label and SDS for safety information.
