DESCRIPTION
BACFOOD is a special blend of inorganic nutrients used in waste
water treatment to promote proper growth of bacteria.
Biological treatment processes is aimed primarily at reducing organic
content in waste water. In many industrial waste waters, nutrients may
not be present in sufficient quantities. Thus, the addition of BACFOOD is necessary for the proper growth of bacteria and the subsequent degradation
of organic waste.
BACFOOD is useful during the startup of new treatment plants.
It is also important when a nutrient control strategy is implemented in
treatment processes.
