Treatment improvements

At locations all across North America, we provide on-site and remote support to treatment plant operators to make wastewater facilities work better. We specialize in sludge reduction and nutrient removal – ammonia, nitrogen,phosphorus, and BOD & TSS.

Ammonia Removal

We change the way existing equipment is used to develop the best possible environmental conditions for ammonia removal (nitrification) by working with plant staff to dial-in …

  • MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids) concentration
  • DO (dissolved oxygen)
  • ORP (oxygen reduction potential)
  • HRT (hydraulic retention time)
  • pH
  • Alkalinity

Nitrogen Removal


We change the way existing equipment is used to develop the best possible environmental conditions for nitrogen removal (nitrification and denitrification) by working with plant staff to dial-in …

Convert Ammonia to Nitrate (Nitrification)

  • MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids) concentration
  • DO (dissolved oxygen)
  • ORP (oxygen reduction potential)
  • HRT (hydraulic retention time)
  • pH
  • Alkalinity

Convert Nitrate to Nitrogen Gas (Denitrification)

  • ORP (oxygen reduction potential)
  • BOD (biochemical oxygen demand)
  • HRT (hydraulic retention time)
  • Alkalinity

Phosporus Removal

We change the way existing equipment is used to develop the best possible environmental conditions for biological phosphorus removal by working with plant staff to create VFAs, energize PAOs, and feed phosphorus to energized PAOs by dialing-in …

Creating VFAs (volatile fatty acids)

  • ORP (oxygen reduction potential)
  • BOD (biochemical oxygen demand)
  • HRT (hydraulic retention time)
  • pH

Energizing PAOs (phosphate accumulating organisms), the bacteria that “eat” phosphorus

  • ORP (oxygen reduction potential)
  • BOD (biochemical oxygen demand)
  • HRT (hydraulic retention time)

Feeing phosphorus to energized PAOs

  • DO (dissolved oxygen)
  • ORP (oxygen reduction potential)
  • pH
  • Temperature
  • HRT (hydraulic retention time)

BOD & TSS Removal
