Evogen General Effluent Improver and Evogen General Effluent Improver XL have been specially formulated to be used in aerobic wastewater treatment systems to boost the performance and improve effluent and sludge parameters.
How it works
The product utilises a specially designed organic carrier to trigger biofilm formation within the Bacillus. This helps the microbes retain themselves within a system by sticking to the carrier’s surface and using it as base for floc formation. The formation of these flocs, which typically have a Sludge Volume Index (SVI) of under 100, result in a compact sludge with excellent settling properties. This sludge formed by our Bacillus species is capable of harbouring a range of protozoan species including stalked ciliates.
The use of several Bacillus species which grow synergistically, provide a consortium that are not only metabolically diverse but capable of performing over a range of temperature and pH ranges.
With good growth rates under both high strength industrial type effluents and lower strength municipal wastewaters, Evogen General Effluent Improver gives the operator a versatile technology to tackle a multitude of scenarios.
From treating system shocks to improving system performance, the heterotrophic growth parameters of the Bacillus consortium are well suited for wastewater treatment across a range of effluent types.
Through enzyme profiling both in the laboratory and via genetic investigations, we have combined Bacillus strains capable of potent hydrolytic action. A diverse range of proteases, lipases, glycosidases and nucleases all combine to help manage sludge volume by breaking down some of its polymeric components. This combination of enzymes and diverse secondary metabolite profiles which produce compounds such as biosurfactants, further help to provide a sustained capacity to breakdown polymeric materials such as cellulose, FOG, proteins and DNA. Thus maintaining good effluent quality.
