Biological Wastewater Treatment

BioTreat WT100 contains adapted micro-organisms specifically formulated for use in municipal/industrial waste water treatment plants, sewer lines, lift stations, scum pits, grease traps, other collection systems, meat processing and rendering plants, dairies, food processing and packaging plants.

BioTreat WT100 comprises aerobic and facultative anaerobic micro-organisms. These micro-organisms have been carefully selected from nature and adapted for optimum performance in most treatment plants. BioTreat WT100 is more effective in degrading undesirable proteins, fats and carbohydrates than naturally existing bacterial strains. Resulting in improved treatment performance with fewer system upsets. The microbial protoplasm produced is a biodegradable source of food higher life forms.

BioTreat WT100 contains a natural microbial growth stimulant and co-ordination compound which increases the rate of microbial growth and the ability of the micro-organisms to use nutrients. BioTreat WT100 organisms secrete significantly higher enzyme concentrations than unstimulated micro-organisms resulting in improved waste digestion rates. Systems may therefore be upgraded without the addition of new equipment.

BioTreat WT100 can alter the physical structure of organic suspended solids. This results in improved flocculation and the accelerated settlement of organic suspended solids so vital to the operation of activated sludge plants and activated bio-filters. BioTreat WT100 improves settling by liquefying and breaking down low density organic matter and by destroying organic molecules which bind water into floc particles.

Regular use of BioTreat WT100 establishes and maintains a biomass which is resistant to the effects of organic inhibitors commonly found in wastewaters. BioTreat WT100 increases the efficiency of settling systems and eases sludge handling and disposal.

Synthetic detergents and other surfactants are commonly found in municipal and food processing waste waters. These compounds reduce oxygen transfer rates. Reductions in oxygen transfer rate restrict the ultimate capacity of the system to handle wastes. BioTreat WT100is specifically formulated to degrade synthetic detergents. BioTreat WT100 thereby allows vital oxygen to be transferred to the biomass at accelerated rates. This increases waste load handling capacity and system stability under higher than normal load conditions.

BioTreat WT100’s specific, adapted micro-organisms secrete lipase enzymes in significant quantities. Trapped lipids are enzymatically hydrolysed, liquefied and solubilised. Solubilised solids are more readily broken down and degraded by the biomass. Mats or "cakes" in the digesters are eliminated and grease deposits loosened and removed.

Greases and fats also tend to be surface active and thus interfere with the oxygen transfer. The use of BioTreat WT100 in the presence of large quantities of grease and fat generally increases oxygen transfer efficiency and thus plant capacity.

High soluble BOD and carbohydrate containing waste-waters (such as from breweries, starch and corn milling, potato plants etc) have a tendency to propagate hardy populations of filamentous microbes. BioTreat WT100 can be used to disfavour the propagation of the filaments and improve solids settling so vital to proper system aeration.

Benefits of treatment with BioTreat WT100 include:

Control of grease build-up in sewer lines, which dramatically improves flow, reduces maintenance costs, lowers pipe corrosion due to sulphate, helps control noxious odours and eliminates the need for personnel to handle unsafe chemicals. Grease build up in lift stations, scum pits, and other collection systems is also significantly reduced which means easier and less frequent maintenance and clean-out.

Correct use of BioTreat WT100 will improve treatment plant performance and establish and maintain a biomass in the collection system which is resistant to the effects of organic inhibitors commonly found in waste waters.
