Description of key information
Additional information
The field data of the manufacturer's waste water treatment plant indicates that betaine is not toxic to activated sludge microorganisms. Waste waters resulting from the manufacturing process of this substance are treated in low-rate activated sludge treatment plant at manufacturing site. Based on the annual monitoring results, this substance at average influent concentrations of 0.079 g/l is not an inhibitory to activated sludge microorganisms. The substance contains nitrogen yeilding ammonia/ammonium during the degradation process. However, nitrogen present in the substance can be efficiently removed during waste water treatment. The removal efficiency of total nitrogen is 93 %,and respectively 95 % of ammonium. After treatment, the effluents can be discharged into the sea.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
