Formula 88H
Thermophilic Bacterial Supplement

Optimizes performance in high-temperature wastewater

Why use Formula 88H?

High wastewater temperatures can disrupt the balance of microorganisms by either accelerating or inhibiting their activity, ultimately impacting treatment efficiency. Elevated temperatures often lead to the release of foul-smelling compounds due to 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.

Up to 12 MGD	50 lbs. per MGD*	¾ lb. per MGD per day
Up to 100 MGD	30 lbs. per MGD*	½ lb. per MGD per day

* 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

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