What is Microbe-Lift HYDRO?
Microbe-Lift HYDRO is a highly active dry microbial culture consortium, developed to improve the biological treatment of wastewater containing complex hydrocarbons and petroleum-based substances. The formulation contains select microorganisms with a specification of 5 billion microorganisms per gram, designed to accelerate the biological oxidation of slow-to-degrade and non-biodegradable compounds.
This microbial consortium is ideal for industries such as petrochemical, refining, power generation, coal gasification, textile, steel coking, and land farming. Effective in degrading a range of hydrocarbons, including aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, making it suitable for a variety of challenging wastewater compositions.
Key Benefits of Microbe-Lift HYDRO:
- Enhanced Hydrocarbon and Petroleum Degradation: Microbe-Lift HYDRO promotes rapid biological oxidation, breaking down aliphatic, aromatic, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, oils, and fatty acids.
- Increased Biological Oxidation: The specialized microorganisms significantly increases the oxidation of difficult-to-degrade compounds, resulting in better system performance, reduced BOD, COD, and SS, and improved effluent quality.
- Improved Effluent Quality: By reducing harmful pollutants such as BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), COD (chemical oxygen demand), and suspended solids (SS), it helps ensure that effluent meets regulatory discharge standards.
- Reduced Sludge Volume: The accelerated microbial action helps reduce waste sludge volume, lowering disposal costs and minimizing the need for frequent sludge management.
- Improved Settling in Clarifiers: The improved microbial activity enhances the settling of solids in final clarifiers, improving the wastewater treatment process and reducing the risk of clogs or system failures.
- Non-Toxic and Environmentally Safe: Uses naturally occurring, non-toxic bacteria, making it a safe and eco-friendly alternative to harsh chemicals. It supports sustainable industrial practices.
- Wide Temperature and pH Range: Effective in a broad temperature range and pH of 4.5 to 10.5, adaptable to diverse industrial environments.
