The environmental impact of nitrite in water – Could it be more significant than previously thought?
In aerobic environments, ammonia from agricultural pollution, sewage, decaying protein and other nitrogen pollution sources becomes successively oxidised (nitrified) to nitrite (NO2-) and then to nitrate (NO3-). Nitrate, is of course, a recognised environmental...
Nitrite in drinking water: Do not consume issue solved with Aquamonitrix®
Compared with market-leading UV-based nitrate analysers, Aquamonitrix® offers a key advantage in statutory limit monitoring applications at the outlet of drinking water treatment plants. In addition to providing high-accuracy, real-time nitrate monitoring,...
Optimising RAS Feed Conversion Efficiencies With Aquamonitrix®
On the understanding that a stable ambient environment – without too many shocks to the system – supports healthy, hungry fish, an RAS facility on Ireland’s Atlantic coast is using real-time nitrite and nitrite monitoring to ensure the biofilter is operating correctly...
Reducing N2O emissions from wastewater treatment with nitrite-based process control
Reducing N2O emissions from wastewater adds to the challenge currently facing the water industry in achieveing net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. In terms of energy inputs, the sector has been aided by progressive decarbonisation of grid electricity and the addition...
Wastewater reuse for irrigation in Spain, with real-time nitrate monitoring using Aquamonitrix
Spain’s Murcia region achieves world-leading rates for wastewater recycling. For the past nine months, Aquamonitrix® has been used to monitor nitrate and nitrite concentrations in treated wastewater – before it is re-used for irrigation – at two facilities in the...
Monitoring Nutrient Recycling in Circular-Economy, Farm-to-Fork Project
Aquamonitrix® will play an important role in nutrient monitoring and management as part of a large-scale European project combining novel food production approaches, such as aquaponics and closed/semi-closed hydroponic greenhouses. The project will also include...
Short-Cut Biological Nitrogen Removal for Energy & Cost Savings in Municipal Wastewater Treatment
Improved process control and shortcut biological nitrogen removal, enabled through real-time nitrate and nitrite monitoring, can significantly reduce electricity demand for aerationBeyond purely environmental forces, resource efficiency cuts right to the economic...
Nitrite & Nitrate in RAS Aquaculture
BASIC PRIMER: Nitrite & nitrate in RAS aquculture are key variables for the control and optimisation of the biofilter to avoid toxic build-up. Designed to remove solids and recycle treated water back to the fish culture tanks, closed containment or recirculated...
Controlling Nitrification Problems in Chloraminated Water Distribution Systems
Providing real-time, simultaneous monitoring of nitrate and nitrite, Aquamonitrix® is an innovative new analyser that can help utilities address nitrification problems in chloraminated supplies on the journey to customers' taps.Chloramines are recognised as safe...
This World Water Day Aquamonitrix Urges Everyone to Be More ‘Nitrogen Aware’
As we mark World Water Day, at Aquamonitrix we urge everyone to think about nitrogen and its impact on our rivers, lakes, coasts and groundwater. There is now close to universal acceptance of global climate change, as a consequence of nature’s carbon cycle thrown out...
