Efficiency of Ammonia Removal

If influent ammonia concentration is 37 mg/l and the effluent ammonia

residual is 0.7 mg/L, what is the efficiency of removal?

IN – OUT x 100 37 mg/L – 0.7 mg/L x 100 = 98.1%

IN 37 mg/L

Tracking the efficiency of ammonia removal is a good performance measure

for long term trending, which can contribute to proactive process control and

preparation for seasonal changes, or transition.
