Super Phos (HE)
Benefits of Use:
- Helps to meet BOD:P ratio of 100:1
- Improved phosphate bioavailability and uptake. Super Phos® is many times more bioavailable than regular phosphorous compounds because Micro Carbon Technology® molecules protect it from tying up with other ions in water.
- Stimulation of biological activity for enhanced COD/BOD removal.
- Enhanced biological species diversity for better settleability.
- Improved natural floc formation.
- Improved SVI and SV30 for better, cleaner decant.
- Decreased phosphate levels in the effluent stream. Because Super Phos® is more bioavailable less phosphorus is applied, resulting in lower discharges. Typically, one-fourth to one-tenth the amount of Super Phos® is used when compared with common-grade phosphoric acid nutrients.
- Reduced material costs, easier handling, and improved treatment performance.
Problem Conditions Improved:
- Formation of insoluble phosphorous precipitates
- Foaming caused by filamentous bacteria
- Excess sludge production
- Excess phosphorus levels in effluent
- Settleability concerns
- Tankage/Storage concerns

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

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
