Anaerobic digestion reduces organic matter in the sewage treatment process through natural decomposition. A wide variety of materials are processed in anaerobic digesters. This process produces methane gas which can be recovered and used as a source of energy.
Formula 12 is a special blend of high-performance microorganisms for the biological treatment of fats, oils, and grease in anaerobic digesters. Its surface tension depressants and penetrants loosen and liquefy heavy grease deposits, helping in their biodegradation. This completely biodegradable product is safe for people and the environment.
