Removal of ammonia is a primary aim of wastewater treatment processes. The chemistry and biology of the process is well understood. In summary, it involves a nitrification step in which ammonia is firstly converted to nitrite and then nitrate followed by a...
When considering the application of real-time monitoring of nitrite and nitrate in recirculating aquaculture systems, varying salinity is a major consideration. Fully saline RAS are common and represent a significant portion of RAS globally. In addition, within...
Aquamonitrix (AQL) is an SME based in Ireland and was introduced to the Water Test Network Interreg project at an Enterprise Ireland event in September 2018. At that stage, the Aquamonitrix (AQL) nitrate/ nitrite analyser was in development. The product became ready...
Choramines and nitrification: Aquamonitrix® is being used in the US by water-utilities to control nitrification (nitrite-formation) in chloraminated drinking-water supplies. Aquamonitrix® is a next-generation autonomous, real-time nitrite and nitrate analyzer that can...
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...
