The treatment plant was failing to remove nitrites and nitrates due to an imbalance in microbial populations, insufficient aeration, and inadequate retention time for biological processes. To address this issue, we implemented a series of adjustments that included optimizing aeration systems to enhance oxygen levels, introducing specific microbial species to boost the nitrification process, and increasing the retention time in the treatment tanks to allow for more efficient nutrient removal.
