Services
Wastewater Treatment
Our wastewater treatment solutions utilize advanced microbial cultures to break down organic waste and contaminants in industrial and municipal systems. These biological treatments enhance water quality while reducing sludge accumulation and odors. Clients benefit from lower maintenance costs and compliance with environmental regulations through natural, chemical-free processes.
Fats Oils and Grease Treatment
Specialized biological products target fats, oils, and grease (FOG) in lift stations and grease traps using high-potency bacteria and surfactants. This prevents blockages, reduces emergency maintenance needs, and lowers disposal costs. The all-natural formula digests grease deposits without caustic chemicals, extending equipment lifespan and improving system efficiency.
Lagoon Treatment
Lagoon treatment powders containing aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms accelerate organic waste digestion in wastewater lagoons. This reduces sludge buildup, controls odors, and improves water quality through enhanced biological activity. The solution works effectively in both facultative and anaerobic lagoon systems with customized application rates based on volume and surface area.
Questions
What industries benefit from your bioremediation products?
Our solutions serve municipal wastewater facilities, food processing plants, automotive wash bays, and agricultural operations managing organic waste challenges.
How do your FOG treatment products differ from enzyme-based solutions?
Our biological treatments consume grease rather than displacing it, providing permanent blockage prevention without harmful chemical residues in the wastewater stream.
Can your products handle extreme temperature conditions?
Yes, our microbial formulations remain effective between freezing temperatures and 110°F when stored properly, with specialized strains for varying environmental conditions.
What application methods are available for lift station treatment?
We offer powder, liquid injection, and dissolvable block formulations to accommodate different flow rates, grease concentrations, and maintenance schedules.
How do I determine the right dosage for lagoon treatment?
Dosage rates depend on lagoon type and volume. For facultative systems, apply 10 kg per acre daily for five days, then 0.5 kg weekly. Anaerobic lagoons require 0.25-0.5 kg per 5,000 gallons daily.
