Dairy or milk wastewater often has high organic load, high nutrient content, high suspended solids, and variable flow rates. Wastewater processing can be challenging because of the diversity of organic waste in the system and the use of cleaning agents.
Formula 25DW contains specially selected microorganisms and a micronutrient blend formulated to accelerate the breakdown and metabolization of organic components when treating liquid and solid manure and wastewater from milk rooms, holding areas and barns.
