SmartBOD
FEED YOUR FLOC. SmartBOD offers a perfectly balanced food supplement formulated to enhance flocculation and cultivate a healthy biomass. It is designed specifically to provide bioavailable nutrients in the ideal ratio for maintaining a healthy wastewater treatment environment.
Balanced Wastewater Food Supplement: SmartBOD provides a balanced blend of bioavailable amino acids, complex proteins, carbohydrates, and micronutrients to support robust biological wastewater treatment.
High Performance Carbon Source: Outperforms traditional carbon sources like dog food and glycerin, offering a more effective solution for plants with low or intermittent loading.
Enhances Plant Efficiency: Promotes flocculation and improves settling, resulting in clearer effluent and lower effluent BOD, TSS, ammonia, and phosphorus levels.
Combats Bulking and Low F:M Mitigates issues related to low Food to Microorganism (F:M) ratios, reducing the occurrence of low F:M filaments.

Product Details
Premium Carbon Supplement for Biological Wastewater Treatment
SmartBOD is a high-performance carbon supplement developed for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities seeking to improve biomass health and plant efficiency. As a balanced wastewater food source, SmartBOD provides a bioavailable blend of amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and micronutrients tailored to stabilize microbial activity during Low F:M Ratio events, plant Start UP, seasonal variability, or plant shutdowns. It ensures biological treatment continues efficiently even during nutrient-limited or toxic conditions.
Unlike traditional supplements such as glycerin or dog food, SmartBOD is a reliable and cost-effective glycerin alternative that enhances microbial metabolism without disrupting your process. It supports rapid MLSS recovery, strengthens floc structure, and promotes better floc formation, leading to cleaner effluent and fewer operational upsets. Whether your facility is handling low or intermittent loading, SmartBOD delivers consistent, measurable results—especially in situations that often trigger filament control challenges and poor settling conditions.
SmartBOD significantly improves plant performance by increasing BOD degradation, reducing TSS, and lowering effluent levels of ammonia and phosphorus. It works seamlessly as an aeration basin additive, making it ideal for facilities prioritizing advanced sludge management, reduced bulking, and enhanced nutrient removal. The 100% bioavailable formula makes it particularly valuable as a reactive tool during temporary load drops or as a proactive solution in long-term optimization strategies.
Pair SmartBOD with ReBuild for accelerated biomass regrowth or CounterQuat™ to counteract toxic influent events. Available in both dry and liquid formulations—50 lb containers, 2.5 gal containers, 55 gal drums, and 275 gal totes—SmartBOD integrates easily into standard dosing protocols and is backed by technical support from Aquafix wastewater specialists.
