Formula 60 - Bacteria supplement for WWTP lagoons

Wastewater treatment plant lagoons present several challenges. Decomposing organic matter can cause strong, foul odors. Also, as sludge accumulates at the bottom of lagoons over time, effective volume and treatment efficiency are reduced. Contributing factors to these problems include hydraulic overloading, organic overloading, and nutrient imbalance.

Formula 60 contains specific strains of bacteria that can enhance the natural biological processes occurring in WWTP lagoons. The microbes in Formula 60 thrive in the prevailing conditions of WWTP lagoons such as temperature, pH levels, oxygen availability, and the types and concentrations of pollutants present.

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

* * Add as regularly as possible. If it is required to miss one day, add that day’s product with the next dosage.

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

Storage and Handling:

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.

Handling: Wash hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water after handling.

See label and SDS for safety information.
