Just as probiotics work to correct health issues in the gut, it can do the same for wastewater treatment. Probiotics make up very small organic molecules that improves existing microbial activity in wastewater; they reduce sludge, cut down on odor, and control BOD and...

Since the massive fatberg found in Wales took the mainstream media by storm, the topic has been making the rounds on the blogosphere – ours included. FOG and other things dumped down the sink or toilet result in the accumulation of sludge, which then backs up in the...

In the last blog post, we discussed the effects of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on infrastructure and how an excess of the colorless gas can corrode pipes, sewer lines, and other equipment. If that’s not bad enough, hydrogen sulfide effects can also corrode human health –...
