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.

Bio Energizer® Reduces Sludge at Small Municipal Facility
Problem A small town in Utah (pop. 1,800) had a municipal wastewater system with a flow rate of 192,000 gallons per day. The system included a series of four lagoons that tapered to a depth of 6 feet, although at this time only Ponds 1 and 2 were being evaluated for treatment as they were
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

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
Do Constructed Wetlands Improve Water Quality?
By Jael Batty Constructed wetlands, which mimic natural wetlands, treat municipal and industrial wastewater, mine drainage, small business and household greywater, animal wastes, and agricultural and stormwater runoff. They are recommended by regulatory agencies as a best management practice to control urban runoff.
Chemical Dosing for Phosphorus Removal
By Jared Alder, MS There has been a big focus in domestic wastewater on the removal of phosphorus and the potential for excess phosphorus to cause eutrophication in receiving water. Treatment facilities of all different shapes and sizes with inadequate phosphorus treatment technologies have the potential for excess phosphorus release. The removal of phosphorus from
