The removal of nitrate via biological processes is well documented within the mining industry with numerous installations throughout the world. The removal of ammonia, on the other hand, is not in as wide a practice in the mining industry as it is in the municipal water treatment; however, environmental regulations are moving to require ammonia effluent discharge limits. The Stillwater Mining Company is a progressive organization that made the commitment to be a good environmental steward and investigate the removal of ammonia from its waste stream.
