Thus, many domestic and industrial wastewater treatment plants are required to remove the ammonia before discharge of the treated water. As shown in the nitrification process equations, ammonia is first oxidized to nitrite ions, then the nitrite ions are oxidized to nitrate ions. Each oxidation is carried out by a different group of bacteria,
