de-nitrate 500mL

Nitrification is an economical, natural, porous material with a pore distribution and geometry that promotes both aerobic nitrification within the first few millimeters of depth and anaerobic denitrification in the core. The material has a high surface area and supports a high density of bacteria. Although denitrification has the ability to trap nitrate, this, as with other nitrate-retaining materials, such as some zeolites and synthetic resins, is very limited and the primary mechanism of nitrate removal is anaerobic.

Key Features:

• Removes nitrates, nitrites, ammonia and organic matter
• Highly porous biological media
• The pore size is just right for anaerobic bacteria
• There is no risk of hydrogen sulfide production as with sulfur- Menu media

Instructions:
For best results, the nitrate removal material should be positioned to ensure water can flow through, such as in a canister filter, chemical filtration unit, or box filter. The flow rate should not exceed 200 liters (50 US gal) per hour.
