The paper analyses application of different methods for removal of the high content of ammonia from groundwater sources of the Grocka municipality neighborhoods Umcari and Pudarci. According to the relevant data from this field method, biochemical oxidation with the Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter bacteria was used. Parameters of biological processes of the ammonia oxidation were defined on the pilot model located at the groundwater source. On the pilot model, consisting of a trickling filter and a fast gravel filter, quantitative oxidation NH4 to NO3 was done. Purification plant was designed with parameters of the pilot model, with minimal investment and exploitation expenses, without undesired side products and ecological risks characteristic for procedure of chemical oxidation of ammonia, which recommends this procedure as the optimal solution.
