For industrial & municipal wastewater treatment plants
Live nitrifying bacteria for ammonia removal.
UltraClear Nitrifying Concentrate is a live liquid culture of Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter. Dose it into the aeration basin when ammonia climbs or nitrification crashes. It begins working within hours.
When ammonia climbs
Restore nitrification before the permit is at risk.
Nitrifiers grow slowly and are easily set back by toxic loads, temperature swings, and washout. Live bacteria put working cells back in the basin while you find the cause.
- 01
Upset recovery
Reseed nitrifying biomass after toxic shock, washout, or mechanical failure, and treat while you diagnose.
- 02
Cold-weather nitrification
Supplement sluggish nitrifiers when winter temperatures slow biology and effluent ammonia starts to climb.
- 03
Ongoing ammonia reduction
Support consistent oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and nitrate under variable flow and loading.
- 04
Plant startup
Start a new or restarted plant with active Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter instead of waiting on natural acclimation.
Why live liquid
Working in hours, not waiting to wake up.
Dormant powder products
Require acclimation
- Must rehydrate before activity
- Lag while cultures acclimate
- Nitrification starts later
UltraClear live liquid
Immediate activity
- Live, active Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter
- Begins driving ammonia oxidation within hours
- Can be propagated on site between shipments
Case study · Food processing · TAN compliance
Rapid nitrification recovery at a food processing facility.
A sudden nitrification failure sent effluent ammonia to about 10 mg/L with the root cause still unknown. Two totes already on site were dosed immediately, and the Propagation Kit carried the biomass until the next shipment.
Effluent ammonia
Down about 99.5% from the upset peak.

It worked out really well to help us recover so much quicker… It was good to have these nitrifiers here to start recovery way, way quicker… This has been a really good find for us.”
Application guidance
Dose where the oxygen is.
Where
Directly into aeration basins, oxidation ditches, or the influent of RBCs.
Avoid
Anaerobic zones and primary clarifiers.
When
During the lowest-flow time of day, so cells stay in the system.
Handling
Agitate before use. Store between 50°F and 95°F.
Dosing is built around your plant.
Rates depend on flow, influent ammonia load, HRT, and plant objectives. Our technical team builds a custom dosing regimen with your pricing.
Formats
From a measured jug to a standing reserve.
- 1gal
Jug
Smaller flows and measured additions.
- 55gal
Drum
Bulk supply below full-tote quantities.
- 275gal
IBC tote
Larger ongoing programs and upset reserves.
Propagation Kit. Grow the culture on site to extend treatment capacity between shipments.
