With mechanical sludge dredging frequently costing millions of dollars and severely interrupting wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) service, this simple but effective bioaugmentation solution is poised to transform the industry\u2019s approach to sludge removal and save significant time and money in wastewater treatment and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-103463\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cortecvci.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/BIOBOOSTER-SR-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"fontstyle0\">BIOBOOSTER SR<sup>\u2122\u00a0<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Success Story<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">The trial took place under the guidance of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/preautech.com\/?lang=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"fontstyle2\">PR\u2019eautech Instrumentation &amp; Odeurs<\/span><\/a><span class=\"fontstyle2\">, an odor treatment specialist who supplied Bionetix<\/span><sup><span class=\"fontstyle2\">\u00ae <\/span><\/sup><span class=\"fontstyle2\">BIOBOOSTER SR<sup><span class=\"fontstyle0\">\u2122\u00a0<\/span><\/sup><\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">technology to a WWTP with two multi-cell <span class=\"fontstyle0\">aerated lagoon systems. The WWTP began applying regular doses of BIOBOOSTER SR<sup>\u2122\u00a0<\/sup><\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">to one of their ponds in 2022-2023 and observed a sludge removal rate of 70%, which they wanted to confirm with a second trial. In 2023-2024, two ponds underwent testing. One showed a 63% reduction in sludge volume and the other showed a 68% reduction in sludge volume, very similar to the initial trial. At a small fraction of the cost of mechanical sludge dredging, these results represented incredible ROI potential for other WWTP operators to take advantage of by following the same treatment regimen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"fontstyle0\">The Key to Better Wastewater\/Aquaculture Lagoon Management<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">Packed with select microbial strains, nutrient cofactors, and enzymatic components, BIOBOOSTER SR<sup><span class=\"fontstyle0\">\u2122\u00a0<\/span><\/sup><\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">delivers sludge digestion power to the bottom of the lagoon where it is needed most. These slow-release tablets facilitate the biodegradation of organic waste and biomass buildup under both aerobic and facultative\/anaerobic conditions, measurably reducing sludge for improved treatment capacity. As sludge is eliminated, lagoon operators can expect sludge dredging operations to become less frequent, potentially saving millions of dollars on traditional sludge removal methods that interfere with wastewater treatment processes. The same benefits extend to aquaculture ponds, which require routine draining and cleaning to remove food waste and fecal matter buildup to support good health and avoid off-flavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"fontstyle0\">A New Pathway to Sludge Removal<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle2\">The remarkable success of BIOBOOSTER SR<sup><span class=\"fontstyle0\">\u2122\u00a0<\/span><\/sup><\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">opens a new pathway to sludge removal that promises to help WWTP and aquaculture operators in every part of the globe.
