Bio Dredge
Benefits of Use:
- Stop expensive dredging by naturally reducing sludge and any additional loading on a continual basis.
- Improve water quality with lower BOD/COD levels.
- Eliminate pond down-time because ponds/tanks remain on-line—no need to drain, dry, or dredge.
- Decrease aeration costs by naturally sustaining dissolved oxygen levels.
- Increase lagoon capacity by accelerating bio-oxidation of sludge accumulation.
- Control offensive odors.

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...

Breaking Down COD
By Heather Jennings, PE When I first came into the water field in the 2000s, the general rule of Chemical Oxygen Demand to Biochemical Oxygen Demand (or COD to BOD5) was 2:1. That was pretty much all you needed to know in order to understand whether something could be treated chemically, physically, or biologically. Now, the wastewater industry has moved toward COD instead of BOD5. The reason that COD is...
