Bioaugmentation is the process of adding selected microbes to the influent of a wastewater treatment plant. These bacteria are essential to perform the Nitrogen cycle and reduce parameters such as BOD, TN and TSS. No OH&S issues and simple to apply. A must have tool for any plant operator to ensure correct biological process.
in 2004 For Earth pioneered bioaugmentation in Australia. Our products have been trialed and tested in all forms of wastewater with great success. For Earth supplies liquid bacterial products such as For Earth Bio®, containing nitrifiers and denitrifiers that are indigenous to your existing biomass (MLSS/activated sludge). These micbrobes integrate naturally into your system to support stable and effective treatment performance.
Improved nitrification for improved ammonia reduction.
Enhanced denitrification.
Stronger overall Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR).
Significantly reduced sludge volumes to dewater.
Significantly decrease in odour levels.
Seed up new plants on start-up instead of trucked in activated sludge / MLSS.
Recover upset biomass / activated sludge.
Improve BNR during high flows and low retention periods.
Bioaugmentation ensures you have the correct bacteria being maintained within your biological treatment system.
With bioaugmentation plant Operators have another tool to ensure process control.
Simple to apply, cost effective and no OH&S issues.
Poor quality influent due to long sewer mains causing septicity and anaerobic conditions.
Aging overloaded treatment plant.
Stronger overall Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR).
Struggling to control ammonia levels.
High levels of sludge production.
Struggling to meet discharge levels.
Re-use water is odorous.
Maturation/ tertiary ponds with high sludge levels and algae issues.
