Formula 45F is a bacteria supplement for filamentous control
Problems in aerobic wastewater treatment systems including bulking sludge, foaming, reduced treatment efficiency and elevated sludge volume index (SVI) can be caused by the presence of various filamentous organisms in the wastewater.
The special blend of microorganisms in Formula 45F slows the accumulation of filamentous organisms in aerobic wastewater treatment systems. It generates a dense, good-settling floc with excellent dewatering characteristics. This formula may be used in conjunction with chlorination, hypochlorite, or peroxide programs for plants with severe filamentous bulking.
Formula 45F Features
- Industrial strength dry bacteria formulation
- Packaged in convenient, ready-to-use 1/2-lb water-soluble bags
- Contains a specially formulated range of high-performance microorganisms selected for use in the bioaugmentation of treatment plants
- Lives and reproduces in an environment containing no “free” or dissolved oxygen
- Contains surface tension depressants, micronutrients, growth stimulants, broad spectrum enzyme systems, and penetrants in addition to microorganisms
- Environmentally friendly
- Available in 25-lb pail (Product# 143625)

Dosage rate will vary with flow rates, retention times and system variations.
Do not add to the treatment system at a location where toxic or otherwise adverse pH, dissolved oxygen or temperature conditions may exist at peak levels.
For optimal results the wastewater and treatment system should meet the following conditions:
| Optimum | Minimum | |
|---|---|---|
| Influent pH | 7.0 | 5.0 |
| Dissolved oxygen, ppm | 2.0+ | 1.0+ |
| C/N/P ratio | 100/10/1 | 100/5/1 |
| Temperature | 30°C (86°F) | 10°C (50°F) |
| Toxic metals, ppm (E.g., hex., chromium) |
0 | 0 |
