Nitrification is the most common way to biologically remove ammonia in wastewater lagoons. In this process, ammonia treatment occurs via bacteria already present in the water . These bacteria break down the ammonia and eventually promote the release of nitrogen gas into the atmosphere.
Wastewater Ammonia Removal via Nitrification Requires:
- Healthy levels of dissolved oxygen (DO) in your lagoon
- BOD to be removed first.
- Waste water pH needs to be 7.5–8.0
- Sufficient waste water temperature
- Adequate mixing.
- Absence of toxins that can inhibit the process

Biological treatment is probably the most effective for removal of multiple contaminants cost effectively (typically very low OPEX) and is an environmentally friendly approach for ammonia removal. Breakpoint consumes large amounts of chlorine mainly due to additional reduced compounds present in the water that consume chlorine (organics, or Fe, for example). Ion exchange is simple but requires pre-treatment and becomes costly in the presence of other contaminants (hardness, Fe, Mn, BOD). If this is a drinking water application there is a risk of DBP generation and challenge controlling chlorine residual. Any conventional WWTP treats ammonia by nitrification. For polishing purposes of treated effluent (Permit requirements?) or for treating groundwater, our biological solution, NoMonia, reduces ammonia and other contaminants to non-detected levels without use of chemicals.

Dear Prem Sir. Actually I have a deep tube well. The rate of ammonia in the water is 30 ppm/lit. At present I am directly supplying the water to consumers, but I want to remove ammonia from that water. If you have any cost effective solution please let me know.
