UltraClear Nitrifying Concentrate: Rapid WWTP Upset Recovery Formula
Get personalized dosing advice and lock in commercial volume pricing. Call us today (1-800-847-8950) to discuss your WWTP's specific needs and delivery logistics.
- Emergency Upset Recovery: Rapidly restores the biological process, achieving stability in a day or two rather than weeks following chemically-based toxicity or hydraulic shock events.
- 30 × Biological Input: Delivers as much chemolithotrophic nitrifying bacteria (Nitrosomonas/Nitrobacter) in a single day as a 1 MGD plant receives in 30 days from raw influent.
- Targeted Cold-Weather Solution: Supplies the required strictly aerobic bacteria to overcome seasonal inhibition and the lack of natural nitrifier input during freezing conditions.
- Guaranteed Permit Compliance: Provides the massive biological concentration needed to reliably reduce effluent ammonia (NH3-N) and nitrite (NO2-N) below EPA and local mandated levels.
- Immediate Deployment (Ready-to-Pour): Concentrated liquid solution available for urgent logistics in 1-gallon containers, 55-gallon drums, and 275-gallon commercial volumes.
Description
Our Nitrifying Concentrate is a premium, high-potency biological supplement engineered specifically for demanding commercial and industrial wastewater treatment applications. Designed to overcome the common challenges of nitrification—sluggish start-ups, cold temperatures, and toxic shock loads—this product delivers a guaranteed concentration of active nitrifying bacteria straight to your system.
It is the definitive solution for wastewater operators and environmental managers seeking to rapidly establish, maintain, or recover biological treatment capacity to consistently meet stringent ammonia and total nitrogen discharge regulations.
Benefits
| Benefit | Impact on Your Operation |
| Superior Nitrification Kinetics | Faster removal of ammonia (NH₃-N) and nitrite (NO₂-N) than naturally occurring cultures, minimizing retention time requirements. |
| Shock Load Resistance | Quickly restore nitrification capacity following chemical spills, pH swings, or sudden high-ammonia influxes. |
| Cold Weather Performance | Contains specialized, cold-tolerant strains that maintain high activity levels in lower wastewater temperatures where native strains fail. |
| Accelerated System Start-up | Dramatically reduces the time required to establish a stable nitrifying population in new or offline treatment plants. |
| Cost-Effective Compliance | Avoid costly permit violations and municipal surcharges by ensuring continuous, reliable effluent quality. |
Ideal for use in: Food & Beverage Processing, Chemical Manufacturing, Petrochemical Facilities, Landfill Leachate Treatment, Municipal WWTPs, and Aquaculture.
Science
Nitrification is a two-step biological process critical for nitrogen removal. Our concentrate is a balanced blend of the necessary bacterial groups to complete both steps:
-
Nitrosomonas spp.: Convert toxic ammonia (NH₃) to nitrite (NO₂).
-
Nitrobacter & Nitrospira spp.: Convert nitrite (NO₂) to the far less toxic nitrate (NO₃).
By introducing this ready-to-work, highly-concentrated consortium, you bypass the slow growth rate of naturally occurring nitrifiers, providing your system with the immediate biological horsepower it needs to maintain process control and environmental compliance.
Nitrifying Concentrate Composition:
-
A proprietary, non-pathogenic blend of obligate nitrifying bacteria (Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter, Nitrospira).
-
Preserved in a proprietary, shelf-stable liquid
Dosing Guide
Usage: Dosing rates are highly dependent on the system's size, current ammonia load, hydraulic retention time (HRT), and desired outcome (start-up vs. maintenance). Dosing is recommended at lowest flow time of day.
