Part of our microbial blend promotes the Anammox pathway (Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation), which requires only half of the ammonium to be converted to nitrite.
Because it uses far less oxygen, the process delivers major energy savings. Ammonium (NH4+) is converted directly into nitrite (NO2–), and then into nitrogen gas (N2), bypassing the nitrate (NO3–) stage where oxygen demand is normally highest. This significantly reduces aeration costs and energy use.
