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.

Let’s Talk Nutrients for a Minute
by Heather Jennings, PE Generally, in the wastewater industry we talk about 100 mg/L BOD to 5 mg/L Nitrogen to 1 mg/L Phosphorus. The values for nitrogen and phosphorus can be higher or lower than this, but it’s the average number that many wastewater system designs are built around. If you look a little further,

Bio Energizer, Micatrol & Bio Feed Reduce COD and Stabilize Wastewater Treatment for Plastic Producer
A plastic manufacturer in Taiwan needed a new process to efficiently treat elevated incoming chemical oxygen demand (COD) to comply with stringent EPA regulations for effluent discharge. The plant is an activated sludge treatment system with an influent of approximately 2,000 cubic meters per day (CMD) which is equivalent to approximately 530,000 gallons per day
