The Most Resilient
Two-Stage Anammox System
Pioneering new shortcuts in ammonia removal to municipal sidestreams, mainstreams, livestock wastewater, food processing wastewater, landfill leachate, and industrial wastewater.
Two-stage AMX™ ensures stable operation and rapid recovery
AMX technology utilizes short-cut nitrogen removal reactions that combines a partial nitritation (PN) reaction that converts half of ammonia into nitrous acid and an Anammox bacteria-enabled reaction that converts ammonia and nitrite into nitrogen gas. This technology is a next-generation water treatment solution that can reduce oxygen consumption and remove nitrogen from wastewater without an external carbon source.
Applications
-
Sludge dewatering centrate (Sidestream Treatment)
Mainstream Treatment
-
Treat high-concentration nitrogenous industrial wastewater streams and landfill leachate in the most economical way
-
Use in cases where economic feasibility does not materialize when treating low C/N ratio wastewater and if you need to consider energy independence
The AMX Advantage
Highest nitrogen removal rate in the market
More resilient to upsets: TSS, COD & ammonia spikes, NOB growth
Quick start-up, restart and recovery of AOB communities
Tomorrow Water’s Unique Anammox Species: Candidatus “Brocadia sinica” JPN1
Considered to be one of the best Anammox strains, Candidatus “Brocadia sinica” JPN1, demonstrates excellent growth rates in both high and low substrate conditions and maintains its activity even at high salt concentrations. It achieves 2x higher growth rates and has higher salinity resistance (up to 3%) compared to other Anammox strains.
