WHAT IS SLUDGE?

Sludge is a semi-solid residual material that is produced during the treatment of wastewater or sewage. It comprises organic and inorganic materials, including solids, liquids, and gases. It can vary in composition depending on the type and source of the wastewater. Accumulated sludge and biosolids are a leading factor in wastewater treatment facilities violating their "NPDES" discharge permit.

What are Sludge Reducing Bacteria?

Sludge Reducing Bacteria employs a process known as "bioaugmentation." Bioaugmentation involves introducing naturally occurring bacteria to enhance wastewater treatment processes and accelerate the reduction of common wastewater constituents.

Our products consist of specialized strains of beneficial bacteria and trace nutrients that are individually selected to:

The reduced organic build-up and reduction of the existing sludge layer provide additional treatment volume and time for treatment.

Reduce sludge, fats, oils, grease, hydrogen sulfide, & odors.
Improve treatment & metabolic capabilities.
Increase the overall microbial diversity.
Enhance the activity of existing microorganisms.
