VitaStim - Model Dynamic Duo -Wastewater Ammonia Removal

VitaStim Nitrifiers

VitaStim Nitrifiers contains high concentrations of autotrophic ammonia- and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria, such as Nitrospora, Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira, and Nitrobacter as well as a micronutrient helpful to the growth and reproduction of nitrifying bacteria.

VitaStim Ammonia Assimilators

VitaStim Ammonia Assimilators contains heterotrophic nitrifying bacteria that utilize both carbon and a high fraction of nitrogen. In systems with high organic loading or low dissolved oxygen the Ammonia Assimilators are the first step in removing ammonia from wastewater.

The Dynamic Duo makes use of the combination of our VitaStim Ammonia Assimilators and VitaStim Nitrifiers for premium ammonia removal. They contain high amounts of active nitrifying bacteria including Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira, Nitrobacter and heterotrophic nitrifiers at the highest concentration in the industry. They also contain powerful micronutrients to boost the growth and reproduction of the nitrifying bacteria.

The combination of these two products produces the fastest nitrification recovery. The biostimulants and hetrotrophic cultures in VitaStim Ammonia Assimilators works with the VitaStim Nitrifiers concentrations to produce the highest and fastest growth rate. We use two types because they remove ammonia with two different mechanisms, in a certain sense, you can say one is like rear-wheel drive and the other front. The use of both propels your plant to ammonia removal and full nitrification.

The Dynamic Duo are specifically adapted to work in a range of wastewater conditions, taking into account the chemistry you currently use, any physical limitations of the plant, and the present microorganism population.

Nitrite Lock in Industrial Plants

Nitrite Lock is an issue where nitrite oxidizing bacteria are unable to keep up with nitrite production by ammonia oxidizing bacteria. This leads to an accumulation of nitrite which can result in inhibition of ammonia removal. This rarely is experienced in municipal systems but can often occur in industries with high levels of incoming ammonia. Supporting a strong population of nitrifying bacteria can help prevent conditions like this from arising.
