EnviZyme AMMONIA

Description

EnviZyme Ammonia is based on vegetative cultures that have the capabilities to oxidize the organic carbon wastes converting it to carbon dioxide and water with an increase of the cell mass as well as generating stored cellular energy. EnviZyme Ammonia reduces ammonia and nitrogen by utilizing these compounds as a nitrogen source for cell growth during the consumption of the organic wastes. This results in the reduction of the organic waste, nutrients and ammonia.

Advantages

• No subsequent toxicity produced
• Works well even at 12°C
• Reduces ammonia levels 40-50% in 24-48 hours and increases treatment efficiency by at least 50%
• Reduces plant perturbations and keeps the outlet quality uniform
• Eliminates expensive surcharges due to high organic nitrogen and ammonia discharge levels
• Contains no enzymes, surfactants or solvents
• Rapid germination leads to long lasting effects

Application

EnviZyme Ammonia is applicable for use in aerobic treatment systems such as activated sludge, lagoon and retrofitted physical/chemical unit processes in municipalities, landfills, steel plants, refineries, food processors/renderers and by chemical producers.

Optimum conditions for use

The bacteria in EnviZyme Ammonia perform within a pH range of between 6.0 and 9.0, with optimum activity near a pH of 7.0. Temperature affects the growth rate of the bacterial population and activity improves to a temperature between 37°C and 38°C (99°F to 100°F). No appreciable activity can be expected below 5°C (40°F) and above 40°C (104°F).

Preparation

EnviZyme Ammonia may be added directly to the waste influent stream or aerated basin. For toxic wastes or short retention times, re-hydration for between 30 to 90 minutes prior to its addition to a waste system is recommended, using 9 litres of water per 500g of EnviZyme Ammonia. For best results, the make-up water temperature range should be between 21°C and 31°C (70°F to 90°F).

Storage and handling

Store in a cool dry place at room temperature. The recommended storage temperature is within a range of 1°C and 23°C (34°F to 73°F). Avoid excessive inhalation. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water after handling.
