Filamentous Microorganisms
Removing them from waste waters
Filamentous microorganisms can occur in activated sludge systems treating a wide range of domestic and industrial waste waters. They will proliferate when population selection pressures favor them. Such selection pressures include, low dissolved oxygen levels, insufficient nitrate, or phosphate, particular substrates such as carbohydrates etc and large pH swings.
EU30 Control of Filaments and Domestic Sewage Treatment
It is frequently the case that filaments can be washed out of the system by making adjustments, where possible, to those operating parameters.
EU30 is designed to work in conjunction with such adjustments in order to rapidly establish a viable and superior flocculating biomass.
EU30 employs only Group 1 non-pathogenic appropriate microorganisms which are selected for their superior floc forming and degradative characteristics. They are present in the products in high concentrations.
Sometimes it is necessary to use EU30 in combination with other EU materials depending on the nature of the waste water.
EU30 is designed to improve the performance of such systems by:
- assisting in the reduction of filamentous populations
- decreasing the production of surplus sludge through maintaining a high metabolism slow growing biomass
- increasing BOD and COD removal efficiency, thus assisting organically overloaded plant
- producing sludge flocs with superior settling characteristics that assist hydraulically stressed systems and reduces the use of sludge treatment chemicals
- preventing the blocking, ponding and possible collapse of filter-bed media
