* Poor BOD/COD removal
BFL 5050BC uses only harmless, natural micro-organisms that control filamentous conditions in a highly effective and environmentally acceptable way.
What is BFL 5050BC?
BFL 5050BC consists of a carefully selected blend of natural micro-organisms that have been produced as single pure cultures, harvested, stabilised on a cereal base and blended together to produce the final product.
The product also contains a small quantity of a biodegradable effervescent agent, a biodegradable water softener and a biodegradable surfactant. The water softener reduces the hardness of the water thus increasing the ability of the surfactant to reduce surface tension and permit the effervescent agent to efficiently penetrate and fragment the filaments.
This activity does not interfere with the structure or performance of existing biological flocs, it specifically targets the filaments protruding from the flocs into the supernatant, especially those filaments that interlink with other flocs giving rise to a loose suspended sludge which will not settle.
Once the filaments are fragmented, the floc forming bacteria in BFL 5050BC set about improving floc structure as well as competing for available food so that the filamentous bacteria (khuẩn lạc) are selectively suppressed. As the bacterial flocs grow and strengthen, sludge settleability improves, biological performance such as COD and BOD removal improves and the levels of TSS in the final effluent should be dramatically reduced.
The bacterial strains in BFL 5050BC grow at a fast rate so that they quickly establish dominance in the biological population. The strains in this product work in harmony with the existing biomass and increase its overall efficiency so that plant performance is restored as quickly as possible.
In situations where the filaments are selected for by the presence of oils, fats and greases, the bacteria in BFL 5050BC rapidly produce the enzymes necessary to breakdown these substrates thus making this material unavailable to the filaments and selectively suppressing their dominance.
In addition, BFL 5050BC contains a natural extract providing macro and micro-nutrients. Wastewaters in which filamentous outbreaks occur can be low in nutrients. The combination of essential micro-nutrients, bacteria and biochemical components in BFL 5050BC will introduce a much healthier, robust biomass with good settling characteristics.
Directions for use
The product will be applied directly to the aeration basin at a point of maximum mixing and dispersion.
Product safety
The micro-organisms in BFL 5050BC have all been isolated from natural environments. They have not been genetically modified in any way. These microbial strains have been classified as being harmless to humans, animals and plants in accordance with EU and WHO guidelines. The product is subjected to independent testing to ensure that it is free of Salmonella and other contaminants.
