Can H2o2 Treat Ammonia?

QUESTION

We are experiencing high levels of ammonia at our wastewater treatment unit. Do you have any experience treating ammonia?  Jean – Lead Operator

ANSWER

Hydrogen peroxide is a very powerful chemical and is able to treat a very wide range of compounds including sulfides, sulfite, phenols, benzene, etc. but unfortunately ammonia is not a compound hydrogen peroxide is able to treat.  Jean, I hope this helps answer your question.  If you have questions about other wastewater treatment issues, give our Applications Team a call at  (877) 346-4262.

Sincerely,

USP Technologies Wastewater Technology Group
