Health & Welfare
A range of alternative products is available to improve animal health and water quality, and control pathogen loads. Beneficial microbes produce antimicrobial compounds and suppress pathogen proliferation.
Innovation & Investment
Polyhydroxyalkanotes, or PHA, biodegradable biopolymers produced from sugar fermentation, offer a potential low-maintenance denitrification method for RAS.
Responsibility
Denitrification by anaerobic bacteria can remove nitrates from RAS, but the operation requires anaerobic conditions and the addition of carbon sources.
