Industrial Effluent and Secondary Wastewater Treatment Solutions

First of all, we would like you to get in touch with one of our experts.

Also, why don’t you check Cleanmaxx® - Aerobic microbial culture. It is one of the most effective biological wastewater treatment enzymes for aerobic systems.

This bio enzyme contains a specialised heterogenous concentrated consortium of uniquely functional bacteria with a high proliferative capacity and tenacity that can withstand and treat any hostile effluent water.

Anaerobic wastewater systems are tough to stabilize. They are very sensitive and require the presence of diverse microbes to complete the Hydrolysis, Acidogenesis, Acetogenesis & Methanogenesis processes.

Cleanmaxx® ANB provides highly diverse facultative anaerobes which strengthen and stabilize an anaerobic wastewater system.

It maximizes the reduction of the COD – BOD parameters while simultaneously enhancing biogas production capacity & minimizing sludge volume.

In any Biological system, it is important to maintain C:N:P ratio in order to reach good treatment efficiency.

We would suggest you to go with MICROBSTER, which is a bio enzyme for wastewater treatment.

It is a 100% natural eco-friendly nutrient additive that is a blend of nitrogen, phosphorus, and micronutrients, as well as biostimulants that are crucial to biomass development for sewage and industrial wastewater treatment.

Our experts at Organica will guide you throughout the dosing process.

We at Organica Biotech have specifically developed Cleanmaxx^® FOG for degrading excessive build-ups of Fats, Oil & Grease, aiding in oil and grease removal from wastewater.

Microbes present in Cleanmaxx^® FOG are selectively cultivated and are highly target-specific.

These microbes get activated when mixed in water. Upon activation, they completely degrade organic waste during industrial wastewater treatment, ensuring that the emission of foul odour is curbed.

Cleanmaxx^® STP mode of action essentially comprises of two major steps. The initial step involves the breakdown of complex compounds into simple polymers.

These polymers are further degraded to form carbon dioxide and water.

A major portion of all man-made and natural contaminants present in municipal wastewater can be effectively degraded by Cleanmaxx^® STP.

It consists of specialized strains of bacteria that survive and perform under shock loads.

Our Biocheck study helps in analysing the current health and status of the biological system at your sewage or industrial wastewater treatment plant.

Microbes show greater biological diversity than any other life forms on the planet. Depending on the environment, food, and genetics of the microbe, its capacity to degrade and treat different kinds of waste varies.

In an industrial wastewater treatment plant, the greatest deciding factor for microbial treatment performance is the type of effluent as well as the type of treatment.

Therefore, not all microbes can perform in biological wastewater treatment with equal efficiency.

With our repertoire of diverse products to suit every plant’s needs, all you need to do is get in touch with our team to find the right product for your plant.

Remember, the key to efficient sewage and industrial wastewater treatment in your plant lies in choosing the right microbial partner.

Bio enzymes for wastewater treatment can be created using various established technologies like activated sludge system (ASP), Moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR), Membrane bioreactor (MBR), Sequencing batch reactors (SBR), Rotating biological contactor (RBC), aerated lagoons, aerobic granular sludge technology, Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB), anaerobic lagoons, Anoxic reactor, anammox, etc.

But the selection for industrial wastewater treatment through biological treatment is based on the type of industrial effluent, parameters to be treated, space availability, etc.

Irrespective of the type of treatment process you choose, ultimately, the efficiency of industrial wastewater treatment depends on the efficiency of the microbes inhabiting the secondary wastewater treatment unit.

Presence of ammonia in an industrial wastewater treatment plant can lead to toxicity.

The concentration of ammonia can be reduced by secondary treatment of wastewater with microbial action, where the ammonia is first oxidized to nitrites and nitrates; this process is known as nitrification.

Further, nitrates are reduced to nitrogen gas which is released into the atmosphere; this process is known as denitrification.

Denitrification is especially crucial since the release of nitrates into the environment can cause eutrophication or algal bloom.

In general, high amounts of total dissolved solids restrict the growth of microbes due to the osmotic stress TDS creates on the microbe.

The microorganisms present in Cleanmaxx are specially selected for their ability to sustain high TDS effluents and still provide an efficient COD reduction in an industrial wastewater treatment plant.

The main difference between the aerobic and anaerobic treatment of wastewater is that an aerobic wastewater treatment process utilizes microbes that require oxygen to respire and degrade the organic matter present.

In anaerobic wastewater treatment, the degradation of organic matter occurs in the absence of oxygen using anaerobic microbes.

The aerobic process is less energy efficient but provides effective secondary treatment of wastewater with lesser retention time and space requirements.

While anaerobic treatment is energy efficient, but the treatment of wastewater requires high retention time with huge space requirements.

Anaerobic treatment is usually chosen when the organic load is excessively high, or the wastewater contains xenobiotic (tough to degrade biologically) compounds.

Many industries deploy both aerobic and anaerobic treatment processes.

In a biological wastewater treatment plant, filamentous bacteria form the backbone of floc formation, that leads to a healthy sludge.

So the presence of filamentous bacteria in small amounts is desirable.

But the high density of filamentous bacteria could indicate that the food-to-microbe ratio, pH, and dissolved oxygen may not be optimal in your wastewater treatment plant.

Investigating the root cause is important as the continued presence of a high amount of filamentous bacteria causes heavy foaming and other issues which could badly affect your treatment efficiency.

The presence of higher life forms, such as ciliates, flagellates, rotifers, etc., in a biological wastewater treatment plant, indicates that the effluent is non-toxic or has a very low level of toxicity.

The absence of higher life forms and microbes indicates that the effluent in your wastewater treatment plant is toxic and needs to undergo additional treatment.

Yes, in a biological wastewater treatment plant, microbial action can break down high molecular weight toxic compounds into smaller molecules to use it as a food source, thereby reducing the toxicity of the effluent.

But this must be tested at a pilot scale while deploying bioremediation products of your choice. You can do this by using our BioSure services. Get in touch with us to know more.

The sludge recirculation of a wastewater treatment plant is usually decided on the basis of MLSS & MLVSS present in your system and the settling characteristics of your sludge.

Studying various microbes and analyzing the total microbial count of a sample from your secondary wastewater treatment unit can give you an in-depth view to the health of your biological wastewater treatment plant.

But in the absence of a microscope or a testing facility, physical characteristics such as odour, colour, turbidity, foam, etc., of effluent can indicate the health of the wastewater treatment plant

Estimation of the sludge volume index is an important way to understand the condition of your wastewater treatment plant.

Here, we understand the sludge development in an aeration tank and the settling ability of the sludge, both of which are positive indicators of the biological health of your effluent.

During the secondary treatment of wastewater, the most common reasons for the increase in D.O. are reduction in MLSS, high organic loading rate, or introduction of wastewater from a toxic stream.

Drops in respiration rate due to lowered metabolic activity of microbes in the secondary wastewater treatment unit could result in a sudden increase in dissolved oxygen.

It is very difficult to replicate the actual biological process on a lab scale or a pilot scale, but with our specially designed Biosure method, we can test the efficacy of our robust wastewater bioremediation products with effluent from your plant.

This method will provide you a very realistic scenario and a solution.

In a primary treatment tank, the effluent is subjected to chemical treatment, where conditions may not be conducive for microbial growth like that of a biological treatment plant.

High amounts of alum, polyelectrolytes, or other chemical settling agents are harmful to microbes along with fluctuating pH.

So normally, it is not advisable to add microorganisms in a primary tank.

Heavy metals have been known to be toxic to microorganisms and can hinder their growth.

The microbes present in Cleanmaxx can sustain in the presence of heavy metals.

High concentrations of heavy metals in a wastewater treatment plant can inhibit the growth of microbes; in this case, chemical scrubbing and other methods must be employed before the effluent undergoes biological treatment.

Technically only organic matter in wastewater can be treated in a biological wastewater treatment system, as microorganisms can use only organic compounds as their food source, but some inorganic compounds can also be consumed by the microbes provided you have the right microbial strain in your biological units.

BOD is the total amount of dissolved oxygen used by microbes in the process of wastewater treatment during the decomposition of organic matter.

Industrial wastewater treatment can be split into inorganic industrial wastewater treatment and organic industrial wastewater treatment.

Treatment for both follows the 3 stages of the process primary, secondary, and tertiary.

Biological methods are used for organic industrial wastewater treatment with the use of microbial cultures for MLSS development.
