Innovation & Investment
To start a biofilter together with a source of nitrifying bacteria, you must provide the conditions that will encourage the growth of the bacteria. The basic process requires initial preparation of water chemistry, adjustment of alkalinity to support bacterial growth and the addition of ammonia.
Health & Welfare
In biofloc production systems, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria process ammonia to nitrite, which provides substrate for nitrite-oxidizing bacteria that process nitrite to relatively non-toxic nitrate.
