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...
Bio Energizer® Reduces Sludge at Small N.M. Municipal Facility
Problem A small town in New Mexico (pop. 1,300) had a municipal wastewater system with a flow rate of 50,000 gallons per day. The system included a series of three lagoons that tapered to a depth of 13 feet. Pond 1 had an average sludge depth of 1.9 feet, Pond 2 averaged 3.5 feet, and...

Where Did the Water Go?
By Jared Alder, MS In England, it is estimated that around 700 million gallons of water—the equivalent of 1,200 Olympics–size swimming pools—is lost every day to leaks in the country’s vast water system. Often the water just rises out to the pavement and runs down the road. Utilities spend countless hours and a great deal of money and other resources trying to locate the sources of leaks, often tearing up roads multiple times in...
Just Another Snake Oil?
by Heather Jennings, PE For years, the wastewater industry has been plagued with products that meet only half the expectations of the users or make matters worse. I get it. I personally questioned the efficacy of Micro Carbon Technology® (MCT—the nutrient carrier for all our liquid nutrient and biostimulant products) when I started with Probiotic...
Bio Energizer® Improves SVI by 50% at Citrus Plant Wastewater Treatment
A citrus plant struggled with poor settling in the clarifier of its wastewater treatment, which caused the sludge blanket to remain high. Even at a low flow rate of 1.2 million gallons per day (MGD), the high sludge blanked allowed less than 18” of free board. The slightest flow increase caused solids to carry over...
