FORMULA 55
Formula 55 is a blend of specialized microbes used to reduce foaming and improve sludge density and settling. The product is particularly effective in wastewater treatment systems that receive high levels of cellulose fibers, fats and greases. The bacteria selected for Formula 55 have a higher kinetic rate than most indigenous bacterial populations. These bacteria convert a higher percentage of the available BOD in to energy and carbon dioxide than protein matter resulting in reduced sludge production. Regular use of Formula 55 will increase overall plant efficiency, reduce sludge production and often increase plant capacity.
