Tiny Titans: How Bugs Can Treat Your Wastewater
Blog
Biological wastewater treatment can be a more effective solution for managing wastewater in the industrial world.
But what are biologics? Instead of conventionally removing pollutants, a biological system uses bacteria substances upon their contact with the waste stream. By harnessing this power for nature, metal finishing manufacturers can remove key compounds such as: BOD/COD, macronutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, and micronutrients like trace metals and minerals.
And there’s several variations that manufacturers can use and tailor to their needs—these masses of bacteria either in a fixed film or a conventional activated sludge system. While this method only acts as a final polish, working at the part per billion level, it’s a great way to keep pace with increasingly stringent regulations on pre-treat systems.
