Wastewater Treatment

Odors, H2S, pond sludge buildup, FOG in the collection system, and aquatic weeds each trace back to a specific cause. Start from the problem you’re solving and the program narrows to the right product.

Systems/Applications

Issues

T195 • Mega Bugs Plus™

Lagoon bacteria with a micronutrient blend selected for sludge reduction.

T195 WB • Mega Bugs Plus Winter Blend

Cold-weather lagoon strains that keep working on FOG, sludge, and odor through winter.

T195 SUPREME • Mega Bugs Supreme

Concentrated Bacillus powder with micronutrients and biostimulants. Reduces sludge and odor in stabilization ponds.

T195 SUPREME WB • Supreme Winter Bugs

Cold-weather Bacillus powder for stabilization pond performance through winter.

T199-25 • Super Bugs™

Reduces grease buildup and saves on line-jetting. Grease control for lift stations and treatment plants.

T196 UB12 • Ultimate Block

Grease block for lift stations that biologically blocks H2S and VFA formation.

T182P • Pryme Zyme Ultra

Concentrated FOG remediation for lift stations that inhibits hydrogen sulfide.

T195 SPIKE • Mega Bugs Sludge Spikes

Micronutrient and bio-stimulant blend for fast, targeted sludge reduction in lagoons, ponds and aeration basins.

T197 MN • Mega Bugs MN

Mechanical plant bacteria that cut sludge, control grease and foam, and improve settling.

Wastewater Equipment

Pumps, tubing, a drum wrench and marking flags.

How the products work

Bioaugmentation is the use of select microorganisms and specific nutrients to break down complex substances within a waste stream, converting them to simpler particles. By fortifying the population of indigenous bacteria, you can enhance system performance through accelerated waste digestion, improved pollutant reduction and odor mitigation.

Today, we offer a broad portfolio of biological formulations for a wide range of applications including lagoons, activated sludge plants, sequencing batch reactors, rotating biological contactors and collection systems.

Measured results at named plants

Bongard’s Creameries, Perham, MN. Sludge across two 8.8 acre ponds fell 85 and 77 percent, roughly 9 million gallons digested, avoiding an
estimated $998,000 in mechanical removal at $0.11 per gallon.
Grand Marais, MN. Settling improved enough that the plant began decanting waste sludge from the digester for the first time in 26 years. Net
savings after product cost: $38,742 in 2018.

Sonar sludge survey

See exactly how much sludge is in your pond, and if it is going down.

The hard part of running a stabilization pond is that the sludge is out of sight. Team Lab runs a remote-control boat carrying a GPS-linked sonar across the pond and maps the sludge blanket across the whole surface, not a handful of poked spots

Safer than the old sludge judge method, since people stay off the water for most of the survey.

A full contour map and a real sludge volume, not a few scattered readings.

Repeat surveys show the accumulation rate over time, which is how you monitor whether a bioaugmentation program is working.

The measured volume drops straight into a desludging request for quote when dredging is needed.

Wastewater treatment · common questions

What causes the rotten-egg odor at our lift station?

Hydrogen sulfide from septic conditions where sulfate-reducing bacteria break down organics without oxygen. Reducing the organic load lowers H2S generation at the source.

Can bioaugmentation reduce how often we dredge a pond?

Yes. Digesting settled solids over a maintenance cycle slows sludge accumulation, which lengthens the interval between dredging events.

Do these products require special equipment to apply?

Most dry blends are added directly on a dosing schedule. Liquid programs may use simple metering at the wet well. Your rep sizes the program to your plant.

Talk to the territory rep for your state. Tell them what you are seeing in the system and they will work the program with you.
