View SpecificationsAs a member state of the European Union, the Czech Republic strictly implements Council Directive 91/271/EEC concerning urban waste-water treatment and the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). Under local regulatory frameworks overseen by the Czech Ministry of the Environment (Ministerstvo životního prostředí), discharging nitrogen and phosphorus compounds into water bodies is subject to rigorous inspection and steep penalties.
Sensitive water basins, including the Elbe (Labe), Oder (Odra), and Danube (Dunaj) river basins, are subject to stringent limits on Total Nitrogen (TN), often restricted to < 10 mg/L for medium-to-large municipalities, and as low as < 5 mg/L in ecologically vulnerable zones. Industrial chemical producers, agricultural processors, and automotive paint plants face similar discharge parameters.
Smedic Technology addresses this regulatory challenge by supplying high-purity external carbon sources and biological denitrification enhancers that assist operators in avoiding non-compliance and optimizing operating expenditures (OPEX).

A technical guide to selecting external carbon sources for complete nitrate reduction ($NO_3^- \rightarrow NO_2^- \rightarrow NO \rightarrow N_2O \rightarrow N_2$).
Heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria (such as Pseudomonas, Paracoccus, and Alcaligenes) require an electron donor to fuel the reduction of nitrate to gaseous nitrogen. When the raw wastewater COD is insufficient (typically when the $BOD_5/TKN$ ratio is less than 4.0), dosing an external carbon source is essential. Smedic manufactures high-purity solid sodium acetate and composite liquid carbon sources formulated to enhance specific growth rates ($\mu_{max}$) even in cold climates.
| Carbon Source Type | Equivalent COD (mg/g) | Denitrification Rate ($mg\,N/(g\,MLSS\cdot h)$) | Low-Temp Kinetic Performance (< 10°C) | Safety & Handling Hazards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smedic Solid Sodium Acetate | ~580,000 to 640,000 | 6.5 – 8.2 | Excellent (Maintains >75% efficiency) | Non-toxic, non-flammable, safe handling |
| Methanol | 1,100,000 | 2.0 – 4.5 (Slow adaptation) | Poor (Adapting cultures takes weeks) | Highly flammable, toxic, ATEX zoning required |
| Ethanol | 2,000,000 | 4.0 – 5.5 | Moderate | Flammable, high storage compliance costs |
| Glucose / Sugars | 1,000,000 | 2.5 – 3.8 | Poor (Risk of biomass bulking) | Biological degradation in storage |
*Data compiled from Smedic Advanced Water Treatment Chemical R&D Lab trials and client plant evaluations.
The theoretical COD demand for biological denitrification is $2.86 \, g \, COD$ per $g \, NO_3-N$ reduced. However, due to cell synthesis and aerobic dissolved oxygen scavenging, the actual dosing ratio typically ranges from $4.0$ to $6.0 \, g \, COD / g \, N$.
By utilizing Smedic Solid Sodium Acetate, plants can achieve precise dosing with minimal sludge yield compared to traditional glucose options, helping operators control secondary sludge management costs.
Smedic holds over 60 Chinese patents, including 40 invention patents and 20 utility models. We have spearheaded the national standards for composite carbon sources and sodium acetate in water purification.
Our bio-enhanced denitrification carbon sources have been appraised as "internationally advanced" by the Science and Technology Department, addressing traditional treatment limitations during Central European seasonal temperature transitions.

Detailed information and calculations regarding biological denitrification and agent selection.
During central European winters, sewage temperatures often fall below 10°C, reducing the kinetic activity of denitrifying bacteria. Sodium acetate ($\text{CH}_3\text{COONa}$) provides a direct metabolic pathway into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, bypassing the need for extracellular enzymatic hydrolysis required by complex sugars. Additionally, solid sodium acetate avoids the freezing risks associated with liquid solutions stored in unheated outdoor tanks, maintaining stable dosing year-round.
Our anhydrous sodium acetate offers a theoretical COD value of approximately $0.78 \, g \, COD/g$, while Smedic's technical grade trihydrate sodium acetate ($\text{CH}_3\text{COONa} \cdot 3\text{H}_2\text{O}$) provides a practical COD equivalent of approximately $0.58$ to $0.64 \, g \, COD/g$ ($580,000$ to $640,000 \, mg/kg$). This consistency allows operators to program automated PLC-controlled dosing pumps accurately based on real-time nitrate feedback loop sensors.
Unlike methanol, which is highly toxic and flammable, requiring explosion-proof installations and strict ATEX zoning, sodium acetate is non-hazardous and non-flammable. It does not fall under the stringent European Seveso III Directive regulations for major accident hazards, simplifying environmental permitting, storage safety requirements, and lowering insurance premiums for Czech utility operators.
Yes. Our R&D department formulates composite carbon sources tailored to specific water characteristics. By blending organic acids, alcohols, and monosaccharides, we optimize COD ratios while incorporating microbial trace elements that support faster sludge acclimation and mitigate filamentous bulking under low-load conditions.
Smedic ships chemical agents from our northern Chinese production bases through major sea routes to European ports (such as Hamburg, Bremerhaven, or Koper), followed by rail or road transit directly to Czech facilities. For high-volume projects, we coordinate container shipments in 25kg dry bags or 1000kg IBC totes, maintaining regional safety stocks to ensure reliable deliveries during peak winter demand.
