Nitrate Removal Module

The Nitrate Removal Module (NRM) is a custom-built water treatment system whose sole purpose is the removal of nitrate ions from extracted ground water (or any effluent stream) prior to it being discharged to the environment. Nitrates are harder to treat than other nutrients – which can generally be extracted through conventional means – and require specialized equipment for effective removal. 

The NRM can reduce nitrate concentrations to the point that treated water can be discharged into environmentally sensitive waterways like rivers and lakes: where legislative protection from nutrient discharge is extremely strict. The NRM will remove nitrates from the ground water at 15L/s, but requires comprehensive pre-treatment to protect the expensive, specialist NRM media from contamination and fouling. Typically, units are set up in conjunction with a full range of plant including clarifiers, Metals Removal Modules, post-filtration and Granular Activated Carbon.
