24:36 Q&A
Sludge Rx
- Bacteria and nutrients for sludge reduction
- Use in wastewater lagoons or anywhere sludge accumulates
- For best results, dose for 3+ months during warmer seasonss
VitaStim Sludge Reducer
- Decrease sludge blanket
- Reduce TSS, BOD, and ammonia
- Stabilize pH
- Mitigate algal outbreaks
Qwik-Zyme D
- Reduces sludge hauling costs 10-30% and improves belt press dewatering
- Breaks down fats and plant/paper fibers into a source of food for your bacteria
- Provides added value in municipalities that receive slug loads from industrial sources
