Dynamic Duo

Nitrifying organisms to reseed nitrifying cultures

  • Restores populations of nitrifying and nitrite reducing organisms
  • Works great in water temperature as low as 39°F
  • For use in aerobic wastewater systems
  • Ships next day and guarantees full recovery in 6-10 days

Description

Nitrification can quickly drop from toxicity or cold conditions. For the fastest recovery and to remove ammonia we’ve developed the Dynamic Duo, Nitrifiers and Ammonia Assimilators to quickly remove ammonia and bring nitrification right back. This product is for use in aerobic wastewater treatment plants.

Dynamic Duo combines VitaStim Ammonia Assimilators and VitaStim Nitrifiers for premium ammonia removal. They contain high amounts of active nitrifying bacteria including Nitrosomonas, Nitrospira, Nitrobacter and heterotrophic nitrifiers at the highest concentration in the industry. They also contain powerful micronutrients to boost the growth and reproduction of the nitrifying bacteria.

The combination of these two products produces the fastest nitrification recovery. The biostimulants and heterotrophic cultures in VitaStim Ammonia Assimilators works with VitaStim Nitrifiers concentrations to produce the highest and fastest growth rate. We use two types because they remove ammonia with two different mechanisms, in a certain sense, you can say one is like rear-wheel drive and the other front. The use of both propels your plant to ammonia removal and full nitrification.

The Dynamic Duo is designed to work in a range of wastewater conditions, taking into account the chemistry you currently use, any physical limitations of the plant, and the present microorganism population.

Nitrite Lock in Industrial Plants

Nitrite Lock is an issue where nitrite oxidizing bacteria are unable to keep up with nitrite production by ammonia oxidizing bacteria. This leads to an accumulation of nitrite which can result in inhibition of ammonia removal. This rarely is experienced in municipal systems but can often occur in industries with high levels of incoming ammonia. Supporting a strong population of nitrifying bacteria can help prevent conditions like this from arising.

Case Studies

Municipal Plant

Challenge

A Virginia Beach wastewater authority operates a 50 MGD wastewater treatment plant, and from time to time their plant struggles with nitrification.

Solution

As you can see from the chart below, the addition of VitaStim Dymanic Duo turns the plant around fast.

Results

Within 3 days the ammonia levels were in compliance. See Graph in New Window

Sugar Processing Plant

Challenge

A sugar processing facility in Minnesota lost nitrification in its aerobic tanks. This facility has a 1 MGD flow rate, their basin is 2 MGD, and the ammonia level was at 189 ppm.

Solution

They ordered 9 gal of VitaStim Nitrifiers and 9 gal of VitaStim Ammonia Assimilators. Then added 4 gal of each product initially and then added 1 gal per day thereafter.

Results

4 Days Later: The effluent ammonia had lowered to 17.2 ppm “It was like magic.” – Dr. David Rein, PhD, PE, Rein & Associates

  1. Jeff

    It was the end of winter, our plant got hit by high pH from a local industry, and we lost nitrification. VitaStim Nitrifiers had us back in compliance in 3 days. I highly recommend it.

  2. Steve

    I used a much cheaper nitrifier that I bought from a major catalog, and my ammonia actually went up. I switched to VitaStim Nitrifiers and Ammonia Assimilators and they went down.

  3. Michael

    We operate a 50 MGD facility in Virginia, and last February we lost nitrification due to excessive rainfall. Ammonia is typically non detectable and went up to 14 ppm. We added the nitrifiers and 10 days later were back in compliance. We were skeptical at first, but it works great
