Formula 88H: High-Temperature Bacteria Supplement for Wastewater

High wastewater temperatures can disrupt the balance of microorganisms, either by accelerating or inhibiting microbial activity, ultimately impacting treatment efficiency. Elevated temperatures often result in the release of foul-smelling compounds due to the growth of odor-producing bacteria in wastewater.

Formula 88H enhances the biodegradation process in high-temperature wastewater. It contains thermophilic bacteria that reduce biodegradable wastes, including surfactants, solvents, cellulose, FOG, and petroleum hydrocarbons, in water temperatures reaching up to 125ºF.

* 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.
