• 100% safe, effective, biological
solution for ammonia reduction.
• Non toxic.
• Reduces ammonia levels in
wastewater treatment facilities, lagoons, and
industrial wastewater processes.
• Provides a rapid response for
ammonia reduction associated with
EPA limits.

Simply shake & pour.
UltraClear Nitrifying Concentrate is a liquid concentrate that is ready to use directly from the
bottle or pail. UltraClear Nitrifying
Concentrate can be poured directly from the
bottle (or pail) into the treatment stream or
body of water to be treated. It is intended to
rapidly restart nitrification in plants that
normally nitrify but have suffered toxic shock,
or need to begin a seasonal nitrification
treatment program.
How much is needed to reduce ammonia levels?
Dosage is based on retention times:
Plants with 6 to 12 hours retention time in
secondary aeration: Dose at the rate of 5
ppm for three days, 2 ppm for the next 4 days,
followed by one ppm for the next seven days.
Plant restart should be complete in 14 days or
less. Example: Plant with 9 hours of aeration
detention time, and 1.6 MGD flow, requires 8
gallons per day for two days, 3.2 gallons per
day for 4 days, and then 1.6 gallons per day for
seven days. Total gallons required for this
example is 40.1 gallons. Unit cost for the
UltraBac Concentrate is $40 per gallon. Cost to
treat this system in this example is $1600.

Plants with 12 to 36 or more hours of retention time in secondary
aeration:
Dose at the rate of 3 ppm for 3 days, 1.5 ppm for the next 4
days, followed by one ppm for the next seven
days. Plant restart should be complete in 14
days. Example: Plant with 24 hours of aeration
detention time, 1.6 MGD flow, requires 4.8
gallons per day for 2 days, 2.4 gallons per day
for 4 days, and then 1.6 gallons per day for
seven days. Total gallons required for this
example is 30.4 gallons. Cost per gallon is $40.
Cost to treat this system in this example is

Should you use the ready-to-pour UltraClear Nitrifying
Concentrate or The
UltraClear System for Nitrification?
Which should you use? You need to determine
which solution provides the best value and
benefits. The 'Ready-To-Pour' UltraClear
Nitrifying Concentrate is not as
economical on a per day comparison, but also
does not require the investment of a start-up
system (i.e., UltraClear Growth Chamber),
set-up, installation cost and ongoing operation.
In addition, it can be used immediately upon
receiving it. The shelf life of 'Ready-To-Pour'
UltraClear Nitrifying Concentrate
is two years after receipt at your facility, so
the product can be kept on hand to deal with
nitrification upsets, spikes in ammonia levels,
or other changes in an immediate and timely
fashion.
Where do you add the UltraClear Nitrifying
Concentrate?
In general, add the finished product to the head
of the aeration tank.
Single Stage Aeration tank: to the head of the aeration tank.
Multi stage unit:
to the point where nitrification is just
beginning .
Cost
The UltraClear Nitrifying Concentrate cost
$12.95 per quart or $40 per gallon.
