Wastewater anti-bulking solution
The performance of wastewater treatment plants and odour control can be improved with the addition of the new Bulk-X 900 series of anti-bulking chemicals, said Omex Environmental, specialists in micronutrient technology.
Filamentous bulking can be caused by many factors, such as nutrient deficiency, poor oxygenation and compounds in the wastewater stream that are preferentially consumed by filamentous bacterial species.
Bulk-X has been specifically developed to combat filamentous build-up in biological wastewater treatment facilities which can impact on long term plant performance and effectiveness. According to the company, Bulk-X is a safe, fast acting and easy-to-handle formulated alternative to sodium hypochlorite featuring added trace metals. The product is designed to penetrate cells and destroy persistent filaments quickly and effectively to prevent the excessive build-up of filamentous bulking and reduce costly plant downtime.
