Formula D-500A & Formula D-500C
Supplements for Wastewater Treatment

Accelerate organic waste breakdown for optimal system performance

Why use Formula D-500A & Formula D-500C?

Challenges such as high or variable influent loads and nutrient imbalances can negatively impact treatment efficiency in wastewater systems.

Formula D-500A and D-500C are expertly formulated with microorganisms, growth stimulants, broad-spectrum enzymes, surface tension depressants, and penetrants to boost biodegradation. They effectively degrade a wide range of wastes including surfactants, solvents, polymer residues, starches, cellulose, fats, oils, greases (FOG), and petroleum hydrocarbons.

* 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 rates 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	30°C (86°F)	10°C (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.
