Polar Rx

Polar Rx is a bacterial and biostimulant tablet designed to maximize sludge reduction in colder environments, when bacterial metabolism tends to slow down. Use Polar Rx in wastewater lagoons and sludge storage basins when temperatures are between 34 - 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Reduces Sludge Volume:Polar Rx tablets transform dense sludge into bacterial biomass.

Enhances Effluent Water Quality:Lowers effluent TSS, ammonia, phosphate, coliforms, and pH.

Advanced Cold Water Formula: Dense tablets are easy to apply and deliver active ingredients straight to the sludge, maximizing impact and efficiency in temperatures 34-60 degrees Fahrenheit

Cold Weather Biological Treatment for Wastewater Lagoons

Polar Rx is a specially formulated cold-weather bioaugmentation product designed to improve wastewater lagoon performance during fall and winter conditions. As temperatures drop, microbial activity slows dramatically—leading to poor BOD removal, odor issues, and solids buildup. Polar Rx delivers cold-tolerant wastewater bacteria that remain active in low temperatures, helping to maintain efficient treatment throughout the colder months.

This high-strength blend includes psychrophilic and psychrotolerant organisms that target organic sludge, enhance nitrification, and improve lagoon clarity even when traditional microbes go dormant. By maintaining biological activity in cold conditions, Polar Rx helps operators avoid seasonal upsets, reduce springtime recovery delays, and support ongoing compliance.

Polar Rx is ideal for use in municipal lagoons, industrial ponds, and any biological system that experiences performance loss during cooler weather. It can be applied directly to lagoon surfaces or dosing points using standard equipment and is compatible with most lagoon treatment programs.

For facilities looking to stay ahead of seasonal performance drops and extend effective treatment through the winter, Polar Rx is the trusted solution for year-round biological wastewater treatment.
