FORMULA 25

 

 

Formula 25 is designed to work effectively in tannery wastewater treatment plants.  Tannery wastes often contain high levels of BOD/COD in high saline environments.  The microorganisms selected for Formula 25 will biologically degrade alcohols, amines, waxes, dyes, phenols, synthetic detergents, lignins, and tanins commonly found in tannery wastewaters.
