Formula 88H - Bacteria supplement for high temperature wastewater

High wastewater temperatures can disrupt the balance of microorganisms by either accelerating or inhibiting microbial activity, affecting the efficiency of the treatment process. Elevated temperatures can lead to foul-smelling compounds being released because of the proliferation of odor-producing bacteria in wastewater.

Formula 88H can speed up the biodegradation process in high-temperature wastewater. It contains thermophilic bacteria capable of reducing biodegradable wastes including surfactants, solvents, cellulose, FOG, and petroleum hydrocarbons in water temperatures as high as 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.
