MicroPlex® AD
Benefits of Use:
- Re-establishes or restores microbial activity in anaerobic sludge digesters
- Maintains competent grease-degrading microbial populations
- Buffers pH swings
- Furnishes a balanced nutrient package
When to Apply:
- System Toxic Event or Death of a Microbial Population
- Sour Digestion Syndrome—caused by acid build-up with simultaneous slowing or cessation of gas production.
- Grease Blankets—caused by the build-up of insolubles on the surface of the digester.
- Nutrient Imbalance—caused by the lack of certain key micronutrients. This slows the sludge stabilization process.
