Qwik-Zyme P
Qwik-Zyme P is a blend of concentrated enzymes formulated to break down complex proteins. This biocatalyst facilitates the digestion of proteins into bioavailable nutrients. Qwik-Zyme P works in any system with high protein loading like dairy and meat processing waste streams.

Product Details
Enzymatic Protein Degradation for Industrial Wastewater Treatment
Qwik-Zyme P is a powerful enzymatic biocatalyst designed to rapidly accelerate protein degradation in wastewater systems experiencing high protein loading. Ideal for municipal and industrial facilities, it targets complex protein substrates from sources such as cheese production, milk processing, egg byproducts, whey and slaughterhouse waste. This concentrated enzyme blend breaks complex proteins into bioavailable nutrients, enhancing floc-forming microbial activity and stabilizing biological treatment processes.
In systems where detention time is limited and traditional bacteria struggle to keep up, Qwik-Zyme P ensures faster BOD and COD removal. Its fast-acting enzymes improve the bioavailability of protein waste, leading to more efficient organic load reduction and fewer operational disruptions. Whether used in activated sludge systems, sequencing batch reactors (SBRs), or anaerobic digesters, Qwik-Zyme P optimizes treatment performance and minimizes biological system overload.
This solution is trusted by operators managing dairy effluent, meat processing waste, and food processing wastewater treatment. It is also a valuable tool for facilities seeking biological odor control and improved downstream stability. Easy to apply daily or through metering systems, Qwik-Zyme P supports peak performance in even the most demanding wastewater environments.
With availability in 5-gallon cases, 55-gallon drums, and 275-gallon totes, Qwik-Zyme P is scalable for operations of all sizes. As part of Aquafix’s suite of enzyme wastewater treatment and biological treatment solutions, it works synergistically with other bioaugmentation products to meet evolving regulatory and operational challenges.

Case Studies
Qwik-Zyme P Case Study
Brewery
Challenge
A brewery had a yeast outbreak and it caused bad foaming, poor settling, and bad effluent. The problem persisted for a couple of months until they called us.
Solution
Add 2 lbs – 3 lbs Foam Buster to help with the foam and add 1 gallon of Qwik-Zyme P to improve settling.
Results
After experimenting with the dosage rate we were able to come up with the perfect solution. Just one day after adding Qwik-Zyme P the plant settled perfectly and the customer was ecstatic.
Landfill Leachate Waste
SAMPLE(s): “SBR”
TEST 1: reduce foam and NH3 (also COD) with Aquafix products
- Goal: reduce foam and improve nitrification
- Test dates: 5/7/12 – 5/11/12
- Set up: 32oz glass straight sided jar + 400ml mixed sample + D.O. 2mg/L + 20ppm per day products for 5 days
Results:
(see the chart below)
Test 1: Reduce COD, NH3 and foam with Aquafix products
Results for COD and NH3 reported in mg/L. 50ppm Urea was added to each jar on days 2, 3, and 4.

Conclusions:
-
- There was no foam in any of the test jars during the duration of testing.
- Adding 20ppm of Qwik-Zyme P or Foam Buster after every day for 5 days seemed to reduce COD and NH3 further than the other products tested and the control.
- There seems to be some protein in this waste stream since the ammonia was higher in the test with Qwik-Zyme P after day 1 than it was with the addition of any of the other products or the control. This is probably due to the breakdown of proteins, which in this case are concentrated in the bacterial EPS.
- For all products tested, COD may increase a little after 1 or 2 days but then will drop by day 4 and 5.
