NO3 effluent spike on Mondays led to 67 week data collection and investigation.

Fish processing station found to be out of operation on weekends - starving the treatment plant's microbes before Monday.

To compensate, they reclassified biofuel byproduct waste (methanol and glycerin) as Nitro-Gone and added it during the weekends.

Additionally, they implemented high temp (106F) side stream processing to garner more resistant 'super-microbes'.

- 74 tons per yr of NO3 reduced from effluent

- $6.57 per yr customer savings

- $2.37 million per yr in Nitrogen credits (new reduced aggregate load reduces pressure on local municipalities and their limit obligation)
