Ammonia Reduction Blend (AMBR-5B)
CHM-AMRB-5B is a concentrated, dry blend of stabilized bacterial spores and micronutrients formulated for ammonia reduction.
For this research replicate flasks of sterile media consisting of basal salts, glucose, and ammonia were inoculated with different strains of bacteria. The flasks were placed on an incubated shaker, and bacterial growth was monitored over a thirty-hour period. An increase in growth is indicative of the ability to utilize ammonia for cell growth. As demonstrated in the graph at right, our bacteria have the ability to utilize ammonia.
After screening over 300 strains of bacteria, the best ammonia degraders were combined to form Chemtech’s Ammonia Reduction Blend. This blend was further tested for the ability to reduce ammonia in swine barns. One barn was treated with our scientifically selected bacterial cultures and the other barn was left untreated for comparison. After 6 weeks of treatment, the ammonia and hydrogen sulfide levels were compared between the two barns after.
As is shown in the graph at right, Chemtech’s Ammonia Reduction Blend significantly reduced the ammonia level in the treated barn as well as the hydrogen sulfide level.

Is Bioremediation Really Effective in Oil Spills?
What is bioremediation used for? The process harnesses the power of microorganisms in the disintegration and digestion of contaminants such as petrochemicals and hydrocarbons, making bioremediation useful in oil spill mitigation and cleanup.
The Role of Microorganisms in Oil Degradation
Oil degradation is an effective environmental bioremediation technique in which microorganisms digest petrochemical pollutants. But which biological and chemical processes help to make this happen, and how can we better understand the benefits? Read on to learn more.
Understanding Bioremediation Costs: Planning a Bioremediation Process
The bioremediation process helps facility managers, clean-up specialists, and business owners working in heavy industry to effectively remove contaminants from the soil. But bioremediation costs can be high, so it’s important to remain aware of the different price factors involved.
