Bioaugmentation solves capacity, efficiency and compliance issues
Article Abstract:
St Louis, MO-based BioLogix's WaterTreat Product Division promotes the use of bioaugmentation in treating wastewater facilities. Bioaugmentation is a process wherein billions of microorganisms are added to the wastewater system to alleviate problems associated with ammonia levels, grease, sludge, odors or toxic levels. The bacteria introduced by the firm in wastewater systems consume soluble organic matter and convert soluble pollutants into biomass that can be removed for disposal.

Article Abstract:
The Duckett Creek, MO, Sanitary District (DCSD) needed to expand because of a growing population and increasing commercial development in the area it served. The agency decided to build a 6.25 mgd, unmanned, technologically advanced wastewater treatment plant to replace its old 5- mgd treatment facility. The new plant, which was completed in 1997, is in its third full year of operation and has won the DCSD an award from the EPA.
