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.

Lagoon Study Shows Sludge Layer Biologically Active and Responsive to Reduction Using Bio Energizer®
Summary In this study, a one-year bioremediation plan was implemented for a municipal wastewater treatment facility with 2 primary lagoons that were at risk of upset and in which wastewater processing capacity was reduced due to an increased sludge layer. Specific changes in strata microbial life were tracked through ATP and DNA analysis at quarterly...
Bio Energizer® Reduces Sludge 45% In One Year, Saves Municipal Plant $6 M In Dredging Costs
Summary In this study, a one-year bioremediation plan featuring Bio Energizer® was implemented for a municipal wastewater treatment facility with 2 primary lagoons in which sludge depths had reached 5–7 feet. The lagoons were at risk of upset and wastewater processing capacity was reduced. Sludge levels were measured at baseline and quarterly. Sludge depth was...
Super Phos® Lowers Papermill Operating Costs in China
Problem The existing wastewater treatment system uses 600 kg/day of diammonium phosphate (DAP) to provide the needed phosphorus concentration to maintain a healthy microbial population to treat wastewater. These microorganisms break down the organic matter being discharged from the paper processing facility. Without the correct concentration of available phosphorus, the microorganisms are unable to grow...
