DESCRIPTION
BACFOOD NP 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
NP is necessary for the proper growth of bacteria and the subsequent
degradation of organic waste. The major nutrients required are Nitrogen
(N) and Phosphorus (P). The amount of N required is normally 5 times that
of P (N : P = 5 : 1), and BACFOOD NP will provide N and P in this
required ratio.
BACFOOD NP is useful during the start-up of new treatment plants.
It is also important when a nutrient control strategy is implemented in
treatment processes.
