Supercharge Your Biological Phosphorus Removal

High-Strength PAO Technology for Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR)

Improve your phosphorus removal capabilities with ArxZyme™ PAO, the industry's most advanced phosphorus accumulating organisms (PAO) solution. Our ultra-high-strength blend delivers specialized bacterial strains specifically engineered to maximize total phosphorus (TP) and ortho-phosphorus (OP) removal in EBPR systems.

Whether you're commissioning a new EBPR system or optimizing existing phosphorus removal processes, ArxZyme™ PAO provides the targeted microbial population your facility needs. Our carefully selected consortium of PAOs rapidly establishes robust biological activity, accelerating system startup and ensuring consistent phosphorus removal performance.

Our innovative formulation helps treatment facilities achieve superior phosphorus removal rates while maintaining operational stability. By establishing a strong PAO population, facilities can reduce chemical consumption, improve settling characteristics, and consistently meet increasingly stringent phosphorus discharge limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can ArxZyme PAO establish effective phosphorus removal?

Our specialized formulation is designed to minimize lag phase, typically showing measurable improvements in phosphorus removal within 1-2 weeks of proper application.

Can ArxZyme PAO be used in conjunction with chemical phosphorus removal?

Yes, ArxZyme PAO can complement chemical phosphorus removal strategies, often allowing facilities to reduce chemical usage while maintaining or improving removal efficiency.

What operating conditions are optimal for ArxZyme PAO performance?

ArxZyme PAO performs best in systems with proper anaerobic/aerobic cycling, pH between 6.5-8.0, and adequate volatile fatty acids (VFAs) for PAO metabolism.

How does temperature affect ArxZyme PAO performance?

While PAOs can function across a wide temperature range, optimal performance is typically observed between 15-35°C (59-95°F). Regular dosing adjustments may be needed for seasonal temperature variations.

What monitoring parameters are most important when using ArxZyme PAO?

Key monitoring parameters include TP and OP concentrations, pH, DO levels in aerobic zones, and microscopic examination of PAO populations. Regular analysis of the recommended parameters ensures optimal performance.
