Use Indigo® ammonia test strips to monitor nitrification efficiency and discharge compliance in wastewater and sewage treatment systems.

Indigo® Instruments ammonia test strips (0-100 ppm) provide fast, reliable checks of ammonia levels in wastewater and sewage effluent. Designed for plant operators, engineers, and environmental technicians, these strips support process optimization and help verify compliance with EPA and NPDES discharge limits. Their quick color-change response enables immediate field or lab testing without reagents or instruments, ideal for both on-site troubleshooting and daily monitoring.

Learning Outcomes by Discipline

Discipline Learning Outcomes / Key Features
Environmental Engineering Evaluate nitrification efficiency and process control through ammonia concentration monitoring.
Chemistry / Environmental Chemistry Understand redox and biochemical pathways converting ammonia to nitrite and nitrate in aerated systems.
Biotechnology / Microbiology Relate bacterial metabolism (Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacter) to ammonia oxidation and treatment efficiency.
Public Health / Regulatory Studies Explain how ammonia testing supports NPDES compliance and protects aquatic ecosystems.

Best Practices

  • Test effluent daily or per shift to confirm biological system stability.
  • Calibrate treatment aeration to maintain DO > 2 mg/L for effective nitrification.
  • Use test strips for rapid screening, then confirm high results via laboratory analysis.
  • Implement trend tracking to anticipate upsets before discharge violations occur.
  • Maintain biofilm carriers or activated sludge to support robust nitrifying populations.
