The salinity challenge when measuring nitrite and nitrate in RAS
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...
ISO Accreditation for Aquamonitrix®
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...
Chloramines & Nitrification : Aquamonitrix® Allows for Timely Intervention to Avoid Drinking Water Problems
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...
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...
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...
