FORMULA 115

 

Bacterial Odor Reducer

 

Formula 115 contains carbonaceus bacteria and inorganic chemicals with disfavor the production of sulfides in wastewater treatment applications.  The bacteria in Formula 115 are broad blend of carbonaceous bacteria with thiobacillus cultures. The thiobacillus cultures use sulfides, including H2S, as the energy source for their metabolism.  The bacteria reduce sulfide compounds to elemental sulfur. The inorganic material in Formula 115 provides an alternative electron acceptor for bacteria to use in place of sulfate in anoxic wastewater environments, Without this material, sulfur reducing bacteria would biologically degrade sulfate to sulfide, H2S, and other odorous compounds.  The product is used to reduce toxicity caused by sulfides or for use in odor-reducing programs. Formula 115 will work in low pH and low oxygen environments.
