PAPERmaking! FROM THE PUBLISHERS OF PAPER TECHNOLOGY Volume 5, Number 2, 2019 wastewater imbalances and odour problems around the world by supplying specially targeted microorganisms and nutrients to degrade waste with greater efficiency. Bionetix® International’s full line of natural wastewater treatments ranges from solutions for starting new operations, to meeting wastewater discharge limits, to making biogas plants more productive. Wastewater Startup Solutions Starting a new wastewater operation requires
MICROBES FOR NATURAL WASTEWATER SOLUTIONS Bionetix® International helps solve
“seeding” it with a healthy microbial population that can handle a heavy influx of contaminants. These beneficial microorganisms play a critical role in biodegradation by breaking down waste and essentially using it as food. If the waste outbalances the microbial population, treatment plant operators will have trouble keeping up with the overload. A shock dose of microorganisms and nutrients such as those in BCP50™ give s an important boost to the system, so it can handle the first sudden influx of waste.
For the last several years, Bionetix® International has been supplying BCP50™ to a local college in Quebec to seed the “pilot plant” students use to study wastewater treatment. The college successfully uses BCP50™ to create a new batch of sludge (or MLSS) every year to run the miniature aerobic tank for educational purposes. BCP50™ was recommended because of its use in municipal wastewater plants. It is an excellent choi ce for “seeding” new operations. Meeting Wastewater Discharge Limits Wastewater contaminant levels are often measured by BOD (biological oxygen demand) and COD (chemical oxygen demand). Industrial or municipal wastewater operations must meet certain BOD and COD
limits before discharging effluent. Bioaugmentation is an excellent strategy for reducing contaminants in order to meet discharge limits and avoid extra fees. For greater effectiveness, Bionetix® doses specialized microbial and nutrient blends according to waste type. For example: • BCP22™ targets high grease content • BCP55™ targets high starch content • BCP655™ targets high levels of ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite (together with organic waste) • BCP57™ targets high cellulose content • BCP80™ target s manure waste
