Surfactants-digesting-bacterial wastewater product.

VitaStim Surfactants – Surfactant Digesting Bacteria

Wash your hands of surfactants once and for all with VitaStim Surfactants.

We selected the highly specialized pseudomonas bacteria cultures in this blend for their ability to degrade surfactants and emulsions.

An excellent product for industrial or municipal wastewater plants that receive heavy amounts of surfactants or emulsions that can affect settling and foam. VitaStim Surfactants reduces recovery time from upsets in plants while the bacteria and micronutrients slow sludge production and reducing foam.

The Science Behind Surfactants

Surfactants can be known as NPE’s (Nonyphenol Ethoxylates) to chemists. Surfactants are soaps and cleaners. Almost all surfactants are made from grease in some way. WWTP are dumped with these from factories and so on. We selected the highly specialized pseudomonas bacteria cultures in this blend for their ability to degrade surfactants and emulsions.

VitaStim Surfactants is a 5x blend and an excellent product for industrial or municipal wastewater plants that receives heavy amounts of surfactants or emulsions that can affect settling and foam.

Surfactants cause foaming, cloudy effluent, and shut down nitrification.

Surfactants can be slow and difficult to break down. This speeds up the process of degrading surfactant molecules. This product can be added as soon as foam and turbidity are noticed, and the sooner you start treatment, the faster the results.

VitaStim Surfactants Case Study

Manufacturer of Luxury Soaps Controls Fatty Acid Foaming

High-Lauric-Stearic-Fatty-Acids

Challenge

High Lauric and Stearic Fatty Acids

Solution

Qwik-Zyme L, VitaStim Surfactants

Results

An organic chemical manufacturer in North Carolina contacted us about foam being generated in their treatment system. They use a series of two lagoons, with high aeration in the first lagoon to pretreat their waste stream before sending it to the municipal wastewater treatment plant. The waste stream has high concentrations of lauric and stearic acids which contribute to influent BOD 600 ppm, and COD 200 ppm. The system was not achieving complete breakdown of these fatty acids as the waste stream moved quickly through the system. The operator began using VitaStim Surfactants to add new bacteria cultures which break-down of fatty acids. This improvement was enough to make the customer happy, but we thought that adding our Qwik-Zyme L, liquid biocatalyst product, would help break down the fatty acids even more quickly. The biocatalyst accelerated the process, a huge benefit in this waste stream with a short detention time. The combination of biocatalyst and bacteria brought the systems effluent waste stream down to BOD 8.1 ppm, and COD .4 ppm.
