Wastewater Treatment

The biological treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater is a common and widespread practice because of its proven benefits and cost-effectiveness.  Biological wastewater treatment facilities typically rely on indigenous microorganisms to degrade organic waste in the water even though a relatively small proportion of indigenous species contribute to the treatment process.  EmTec recognized that the efficiency and effectiveness of wastewater treatment facilities could be improved by increasing the proportion of bacteria that contribute to the sewage treatment process.

Problem

As urban populations grow and capital investments in new infrastructure fail to keep pace, many wastewater treatment plants are simply overloaded.  Increased waste volumes and greater waste complexity have left many plants unable to meet today’s tougher effluent requirements.  This can result in penalties, fines and surcharges for facility operators and the release of inadequately treated wastewater into the environment.

Solution

EmTec WP is a live blend of natural bacteria specifically chosen for their ability to accelerate and enhance the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater and reduce the accumulation of sludge.  Regular use of EmTec WP increases a system’s capacity to degrade a wide range of wastes, resulting in greater efficiency, fewer problems and higher quality effluent. 

Applications Domestic and industrial wastewater Food processing facilities Aerobic and facultative lagoons Restoration of rivers, lakes and ponds System startup and recovery	Benefits of EmTec WP Improves effluent water quality:  lowers BOD and COD Improves clarity and settling of solids Digests hydrocarbons, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides Reduces sludge production and helps prevent bulking Improves WWTP stability and hot and cold weather performance Reduces odors Reduces or eliminates fines and surcharges Accelerates system startup and recovery
Formulation EmTec WP comes as a set of two 220-mL bottles of liquid concentrate.  The dosing strategy will depend on site-specific issues and objectives, but one set of EmTec WP will typically treat over 20,000 cubic meters of domestic wastewater.
