BioSurfactants naturally
effective effluent treatment
Given their extensive use in detergents, personal care products and in a wide
range of other industries, it is unsurprising that signicant quantities of
surfactants are discharged into wastewater treatment systems where they
cause efuent toxicity, oc disruption and excessive foaming. Effective
microbial degradation solves these problems and avoids costly surcharges,
breaches of consent limits and release of surfactants into the environment.
BioSurfactants can help you:
Stricter regulations, lower consent levels and rising costs are forcing municipal, industrial and other
wastewater producers to look for the best solutions to improve treatment efficiency.
The water quality of industrial effluent is directly linked to the costs charged by Water Companies using the
Mogden formula. Being able to reduce Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Suspended Solids (SS) offers
significant direct cost savings and is a primary reason for introducing biotechnology.
Many producers face difficult to achieve consent levels resulting in significant tankering costs or fines.
Bioprep technical wastewater experts work with customers to assess the issues facing the plant.
After a complete analysis of the waste using advanced laboratory techniques and evaluation of the operating
conditions, recommendations are made to provide the best solution for that specific site.
