LAKE LINDEN, Michigan (April 28, 2014) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has notified Nitrate Elimination Company, Inc. (NECi) of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula that NECi’s accurate and cost-effective method for nitrate analysis “meets all requirements for measurement of nitrate and combined nitrate-nitrite in wastewater.” The NECi method is an environmentally friendly replacement for the old cadmium-based method – using nitrate reductase in the place of cadmium – and is the first enzyme-based method for regulatory analysis of water approved in the U.S.
Enzyme-based nitrate analysis was developed at NECi with funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The multi-lab validation study, which included an equipment manufacturer in Finland, was funded by a matching grant from Michigan Economic Development Corporation’s Emerging Technologies Fund.
