Table I: Mean wastewater characteristics (2005) prior to SCD Probiotics Applications

Methology
SCD Bio Klean™ is added to sludge separated from the system. A fraction of ammended sludge is recirculated to the general system improving the characteristic of the outflow water.

Results
All goals were achieved.

Significant improvement in all outflow parameters (except Nitrogen content) occurred after the SCD Probiotics applications, as evidenced in Table I below.

In addition, the following benefits were achieved as a result of the SCD Probiotics application, positively impacting the operational and financial performance of the waste water treatment facility.

  1. Elimination of PIX application (a coagulation agent).
  2. A 25% reduction in overall sludge production.
  3. Cost reductions:
       – 200.000 PLN from disposal cost reduction per annum
       – 30.000 PLN savings on enviromental fees caused by decreased water contamination per annum
