Description
BIO-SYSTEMS BIOBUG® DM contains a specially-formulated range of adapted, high-performance microorganisms for use in biological wastewater treatment of dairy wastes. As well as microorganisms, BIO-SYSTEMS BIOBUG® DM contains a micronutrient blend specially selected for milk processing wastes. This micronutrient blend provides a complete formulation for maximum biological activity and reacts with dairy waste to produce biological enhancers.
When used as directed BIOBUG® DM is safe and is harmless to people, clothing and the environment and is completely biodegradable.
When applied to effluent treatment facilities, BIOBUG® DM helps to establish a biomass capable of handling these difficult wastes.

|
- Enhance organic removal efficiency of biological systems, providing lower effluent BOD, COD, and TSS.
- Enhance solids settling where it has been disturbed by loading fluctuations.
- Accelerate the start-up of new systems and aids recovery after upsets.
- Improve cold weather operation.
- Mitigate effects of chemical related loadings and toxic shocks.
- Reduce sludge production.
- Lower operating costs by reducing chemical consumption.
- Competes against filaments.

Case History 1001
A Midwest Dairy started up a new SBR pretreatment system for their dairy waste. After six months of operation, the treatment plant performance was adversely affected by poor settling and foaming due to Nocardia. Within 60 days of starting the BIO-SYSTEMS program the 30 minute settling test had improved from 950 to 400 and foaming was under control.
Case History 1021
300,000 gpd of dairy waste water with oil and grease content of 50-320 mg/l lead to excessive scum formation and elevated TSS in the effluent of a 20 mgd municipal oxygen activated sludge system. It was decided to try BIOBUG® DM to reduce influent oil and grease loadings and start the biological treatment process in the force main. Application rate was 15 lbs. per day to pump station dedicated to the dairy.
Results were quick and dramatic with scum coverage of the secondary clarifiers reduced from 90% of thick scum to less than 10% of very thin scum with a return to normal and consistant effluent TSS
