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...
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...

Ducks Walking on Water?
by Heather Jennings, PE Bio Energizer® Reduces Sludge Over 40% at Utah Municipal WTP The case study described below was a project that I worked on with a small-lagoon municipal system so overwhelmed with solids that state action was being taken. The ducks on the other side of the lagoon from me literally looked as...
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...
Use of Biostimulants and Buffers for Upset Recovery in Paper Mill Wastewater Systems
By Heather Jennings, PE Industrial pulp and paper wastewater is considered one of the more challenging waters to treat using biological methods, which depend on microbial activity to effectively remediate the wastewater. Wastewater treatment systems are often influenced/impacted by increased hydraulic and/or COD (chemical oxygen demand) loading as mills add new chemicals or otherwise modify...
