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.

Bio Energizer® Reduces Costs and Turbidity in Paperboard Lagoons at Kentucky Papermill Wastewater Facility
Problem A paper mill wastewater facility was treating 940 tons of paper bags, recycled linerboard, and corrugating medium, daily. The mill was interested in improving wastewater operating efficiency and lowering operating expenses over their standard polymer usage. The plant was experiencing filamentous bacteria, solids, and bulking issues in the final clarifier. It was discharging 4,000
