Description
BIOBUG® AS is a biological product specifically formulated to be effective in enhancing municipal waste water biology during colder winter months. To assure rapid establishment in the biomass, BIOBUG® AS is produced and blended with select biological nutrients and stimulants.
Effect
BIOBUG® AS, with its aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms establishes and maintains a biomass which by providing greater resistance to the effects of organic inhibitors present in municipal waste waters, is able to perform more effectively than the naturally occurring biomass. BIOBUG® AS ensures that the natural mechanism for the selection of the biomass population is presented with a range of selected microorganisms. These aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria have been taken from their natural environment and then adapted to give optimum performance.
Sludge Reduction Programs
- Reduce sludge build-up
- Control grease, foaming, or scum formation
- Improve settling
- Reduce odors
- Ensure rapid biological start-up with non filament forming bacteria.
- Provide organsims that break filament structures and form excellent floc.
BIOBUG® AS reduces the sludge produced in any type of secondary biological treatment system by improving the degradation of organic material and converting it to dead "Bugs" that weigh less and occupy less space.
Estimated Improvements:
- High rate system with no primary clarifier: 25 to 35% reduction in dry solids produced.
- Long retention time (greater than twenty four hours in aeration) with primary clarifier: 10 to 15% reduction in total dry solids.
- Long retention time (greater than twenty four hours in aeration) without primary clarifier: 20% reduction in dry solids.
- Further reduction in the amount of wet sludge hauled may be achieved because the solids dewater better too!
