Formula 60
Advanced Lagoon Treatment

Optimizes organic degradation to help maintain system efficiency

Why use Formula 60?

Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) lagoons face multiple challenges, including foul odors from decomposing organic matter. Over time, sludge builds up at the bottom of lagoons, reducing both their effective volume and treatment efficiency. Common causes include hydraulic overloading, organic overloading, and nutrient imbalances.

Formula 60 is designed with specific bacterial strains that enhance natural biological processes in lagoons. These microbes thrive under varying conditions—temperature, pH, oxygen, and pollutant levels—to restore balance and boost treatment performance.

* Spread this initial dosage out over the course of 10 days.

* Add as regularly as possible. If a day is missed, add that day’s product with the next dosage.

Dosage rate will vary with flow rates, retention times, and system variations.

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 (°C)	30° (86°F)	10° (50°F)
Toxic Metals (ppm)	0	0

Storage and Handling

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place
