Overcome Surfactant-Related Challenges

Bioaugmentation Solution for Surfactant Breakdown and Foam Control

Improve your biological treatment system's performance with ArxZyme™ Surfactant, an innovative bioaugmentation product specifically engineered to tackle the challenges of surfactant-laden wastewater. Our synergistic blend of specialized bacteria and enzymes works in harmony to break down both bio-based and synthetic surfactants into simple, non-surface-active compounds that improve oxygen transfer and eliminate foaming events.

Where traditional treatments struggle with persistent foaming and reduced treatment efficiency, ArxZyme™ Surfactant employs a dual-action approach. The carefully selected bacterial consortium utilizes surfactants as a carbon source while specialized enzymes target and break down problematic molecular bonds, delivering complete degradation to CO2, water, and mineral salts.

From food and beverage processors to industrial facilities, ArxZyme™ Surfactant helps operators maintain stable biological treatment processes while eliminating the operational headaches caused by surfactant accumulation. Our proven formula protects sensitive bacterial populations while improving overall system performance and reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I expect to see results after adding ArxZyme Surfactant?

Most systems show noticeable foam reduction within 24-48 hours of initial application, with full treatment benefits developing over 1-2 weeks of consistent use.

Is ArxZyme Surfactant effective against both bio-based and synthetic surfactants?

Yes, our formula is designed to break down both biological and synthetic surfactants through its unique dual-action approach combining enzymatic and biological degradation pathways.

How should I adjust dosing if I have varying surfactant loads?

Our technical team can help establish a customized dosing strategy based on your specific influent characteristics and treatment goals.

Can ArxZyme Surfactant be used preventatively, or should it only be applied when problems occur?

While effective for addressing acute problems, preventative use is recommended for systems with regular surfactant exposure to maintain optimal performance and prevent issues before they develop.

Will this product affect my system's normal biological treatment performance?

No, ArxZyme Surfactant is designed to enhance overall system performance while protecting existing beneficial bacteria populations.
