Cutting-Edge Bioaugmentation Solution for Rapid Startup, Reseeding and Performance Enhancement

Optimize your wastewater treatment performance with ArxZyme™ BOD, our cutting-edge biological augmentation technology. Specifically formulated to quickly build heterotrophic bacteria for increasing BOD and COD removal in activated sludge and fixed film processes, our high-strength blend of bacteria and enzymes works to improve flocculation, increase settling and improve overall carbon removal efficiency.

Whether you're commissioning a new treatment system, recovering from operational disruptions or seeking to optimize existing biological processes, ArxZyme™ BOD provides the targeted microbial boost your system needs. Our carefully engineered consortium rapidly establishes robust biological activity, reducing treatment time and improving effluent quality while maintaining system stability.

Our proven formulation has helped facilities across diverse industries achieve consistent BOD and COD removal rates, reduce operational costs and meet stringent discharge requirements. From food processing plants to municipal wastewater facilities, operators trust our bioaugmentation technology to deliver reliable, measurable results when performance matters most.

Advanced Formulation Features:

  • High-strength dry/liquid blend of organic feed seeded with probiotic enzymes and bacterial strains that primarily feed on carbon sources
  • Specifically designed to overcome the initial lag phase and reach the stationary phase of the bacterial life cycle in reduced time
  • Exceptional bacterial concentrations ranging from 2.76×1011 to 1.02×1013 CFU per gram for rapid colonization and immediate treatment impact

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I see results after application?

Most facilities observe measurable improvements in BOD removal within three to seven days of initial application. Full system optimization typically occurs within two to four weeks, depending on existing conditions, temperature and organic loading rates.

Is this product compatible with existing chemical treatment programs?

Yes, our bioaugmentation solution is designed to work alongside standard chemical treatment programs including nutrient supplements, pH adjusters and antifoam agents. However, avoid simultaneous application with biocides or chlorine-based disinfectants.

How do I determine the proper dosage for my system?

Dosage depends on system volume, organic loading and treatment objectives. For startup applications, we recommend one to two pounds per 10,000 gallons of aeration capacity. For maintenance and enhancement, one-half to one pound per 10,000 gallons monthly is typically effective. Our technical team provides customized dosing recommendations based on your specific requirements.

What storage and handling requirements should I know about?

Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Product remains viable for 24 months when stored properly at temperatures between 40-80°F. No special handling equipment is required — simply mix with water before application to ensure even distribution.

Can this product help with specific industrial waste streams?

Absolutely. Our bioaugmentation blend is particularly effective for food processing, beverage production, pharmaceutical and petrochemical waste streams. The diverse microbial consortium adapts to various organic substrates, making it suitable for complex industrial applications with fluctuating waste characteristics.
