Tightening regulations on effluent nitrogen and phosphorus are pushing clean-water operations toward biological nutrient removal.Converting ammonia to nitrogen gas by nitrification-denitrification is effective, but it often requires a supplemental carbon source in the denitrification stage. One such source is MicroC 2000, a glycerin-based product from Environmental Operating Solutions.Efficient denitrification depends on dosing carbon at the appropriate rate. To that end, EOSi offers the Nitrack program, a fully automated method for optimizing MicroC usage while consistently achieving effluent nutrient targets. The technology monitors process parameters in real time and doses only the amount of carbon source needed.The service can include remote
