Chemical Manufacture

Helping the biomass cope with the problem

The chemical and fine chemical manufacturing industries produce and use a wide range of compounds. Consistent high quality treatment in biological processes can become very difficult because the biomass cannot always naturally and rapidly adjust to these changes.

EU50 Fine Chemicals, Petrochemicals and Detergents

Chemical manufacture produces and uses a wide range of compounds, which can be very difficult to treat usually because they work under “campaign” conditions i.e. the nature and variety of chemicals received by the treatment system can change  day by day. This makes consistent high quality treatment in biological processes very difficult because the biomass cannot always naturally and rapidly adjust to these changes.

EU50 can assist in such circumstances. It contains a high concentration of naturally occurring Group 1 non‑pathogenic appropriate micro‑organisms which are included in the product because of their natural predilection to the degradation of a wide range of chemicals.

EU50 is designed to improve the performance of biological systems by:­

  • establishing and maintaining a resistant biomass that is able to degrade these difficult and varying wastes.
  • increasing BOD and COD removal efficiency, thus assisting organically overloaded plant.
  • producing sludge flocs with superior settling characteristics that assist hydraulically stressed systems.
  • preventing the blocking, ponding and possible collapse of filter‑bed media.
