CounterQuat
TACKLE TOXICITY. CounterQuat is a next-generation biotechnology developed to protect wastewater bacteria from toxicity. It strengthens biomass by providing key nutrients and specialized bacterial cultures. Building resilient floc allows for mitigation of environmental stressors to overcome upsets and improve treatment efficiency.
Overcomes Toxicity and Shield Bacteria: Safeguard wastewater bacteria from toxic shocks, increasing resilience against common cleaning agents like Quats and PAAs.
Next Generation Wastewater Defense: Key nutrients fortify the bacteria's natural polyprotein matrix, enhancing its defense mechanism against environmental toxins.
Robust Plan Operations: Great for systems that experience frequent cleanouts, CounterQuat maintains bacterial health, preventing cloudy effluent and loss of nitrification.
Prevents Toxicity Upsets: Enhancing bacterial resistance not only works well on quats, but also offers protection against other toxic events, like those related to peracetic acid (PAA).
$235.00 – $10,170.00
Balanced Wastewater Food Supplement:Provides a balanced blend of bioavailable amino acids, complex proteins, carbohydrates, and micronutrients
High-Performance Carbon Source: Outperforms traditional carbon sources like dog food and glycerin.
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
CounterQuat is a next generation technology developed to protect wastewater bacteria from toxicity, especially the effects of quaternary amines. The use of quaternary amines has risen in all markets, but products to protect wastewater biology against quats have not risen to match. CounterQuat was created to aid wastewater operators who have no control over toxic compounds that may come down the drain, but want to protect their wastewater biology and avoid noncompliance.
CounterQuat works by further developing the polyprotein matrix that bacteria naturally use to shield themselves from environmental toxins. CounterQuat develops and strengthens this defensive barrier. The result is greater bacteria resilience, flocculation, and nutrient removal in the presence of toxicity. CounterQuat can be fed upstream of the plant or directly in the plant. It is excellent for wastewater plants concerned with incoming toxicity killing their organisms and causing a cloudy effluent and loss of nitrification. In addition to protecting against quats, CounterQuat can also help to prevent toxicity upsets related to peracetic acid (PAA).
