BactaServe Nutrient Removal - Bioculture for Ammonia and Nitrogen Reduction

BactaServe Nutrient Removal is a specialised bioculture designed to reduce ammonia nitrogen, enhance nitrification efficiency and improve overall nutrient removal in wastewater treatment plants. It contains acclimatised microbial strains that degrade ammonia, boost nitrifying and denitrifying activity and maintain stable performance even in low temperature conditions.

BactaServe Bioculture Nutrient Removal product pouch by Amalgam, orange and black packaging designed for nutrient removal applications in wastewater treatment.

BactaServe Nutrient Removal

Pack Size -1Kg

Nutrient removal is critical for meeting wastewater discharge standards. Plants often face challenges such as high ammonia levels, slow nitrification, temperature fluctuations and unstable microbial activity. BactaServe Nutrient Removal addresses these issues by introducing selected bacteria that support rapid ammonia oxidation and improve nitrogen conversion efficiency.

Key Features

  • Effectively degrades and absorbs ammonia nitrogen

  • Enhances nitrification activity

  • Maintains long term nitrification stability

  • Improves ammonia removal in weak or stressed systems

  • Supports rapid recovery after process upsets

  • Reduces negative impact of low temperature on nitrification

  • Breaks down fat and grease buildup

  • Reduces sludge accumulation

Benefits of BactaServe Nutrient Removal

  • Lower ammonia levels in treated water

  • Better nitrogen removal consistency

  • Improved plant stability during winter or cold weather

  • Faster response to shock loads or toxic influent

  • Better MLSS quality and sludge characteristics

  • Reduced nutrient related odour issues

  • Helps plants meet stringent discharge norms

  • Enhanced overall biological treatment efficiency

Suitable Treatment Processes

This nutrient removal bioculture is ideal for:

  • Sewage Treatment Plants STP

  • Effluent Treatment Plants ETP

  • ASP and Extended Aeration Systems

  • SBR Sequencing Batch Reactor

  • MBBR Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor

  • MBR Membrane Bio Reactor

  • Plants with ammonia and nitrogen related performance issues

Applications

Use BactaServe Nutrient Removal for:

  • High ammonia influent

  • Low nitrification efficiency

  • Cold weather performance drop

  • Nitrification failure recovery

  • Low DO or fluctuating aeration conditions

  • Sludge quality improvement

  • Wastewater with high nitrogen load

How BactaServe Nutrient Removal Works

The microbial strains accelerate nitrification by converting ammonia into nitrite and then into nitrate. Additional bacteria support denitrification, converting nitrate into harmless nitrogen gas. This dual biological pathway helps achieve complete nitrogen removal. The microbes also stabilise treatment during low temperature conditions, allowing plants to maintain high performance year round.
