MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER

Municipal treatments include using zeolite-anammox to remove Total Nitrogen (TN) - primarily in the form of NH4, NO3, and organic N. Typical applications include:
-
Ammonia sidestreams from anaerobic digesters (filtrate / centrate)
-
Secondary effluents and final effluents from WWTPs
-
Water re-use and water recycling
