Removing Ammonia

The most common cation in waters potentially affecting human and animal health is ammonia which  can be removed by exchange with biologically acceptable cations such as K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺ and Na⁺ residing on the exchange sites of WATCH AMMONIUM SORB®.

Because WATCH AMMONIUM SORB®has a high selectivity for ammonia in solution (converted to ammonium when it reacts with water), it may, depending on flow rates and zeolite volumes and loading, reduce the ammonia content of wastewater by 95%, thereby reducing the release of excess levels of ammonium and inhibiting the growth of algae and the depletion of oxygen.
