Formula 25DW
Dairy Wastewater Treatment

Effectively breaks down organic matter and control odors

Why use Formula 25DW?

Dairy and milk processing wastewater typically contains a high organic load, elevated nutrient levels, suspended solids, and fluctuating flow rates. Managing this wastewater can be challenging due to the variety of organic waste present and the frequent use of cleaning agents.

Formula 25DW is a specialized blend of carefully selected microorganisms and micronutrients designed to enhance the breakdown and metabolism of organic materials. It is highly effective in treating both liquid and solid manure as well as wastewater from milk rooms, holding areas, and barns.
