DynaOxy

A process plant for nitrification using the DynaSand-Oxy, nitrification process.

The water which is to be nitrified is admitted into the DynaSand filter through an inlet distributor. As the water flows upwards through the filter bed, ammonia is converted into nitrate by bacteria - Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter - which form a layer on the surfaces of the filter grains. The bacteria, which are autotrophic and thus live only on inorganic materials, produce new biomass out of carbon dioxide.
