• Reduction in smell.
• Reduction in sludge between 17% and 35%.
• Can assist in maintaining standards where plant is overloaded by up to 20%.
• Minimises shock loading, usually returns within 24 hours.
• Maintains stability in BOD & S.S. and supports nitrifying bacteria.
• Where NH4 is excessive, specialist bio-cultures can be supplied to minimise.
• Liquid Bio Cultures (LBCs) used with a Bio Activator, reduces and softens fats, oils, etc., minimising the risk of filter and pipeing blockages.   Reduces the load on lift pumps etc., so reducing maintenance costs.
• Has a flocculating effect which can dispense with chemical flocculants in some cases.

Percolating filter plants

• The same advantages apply as for activated sludge plants (above)
• Reduction & liquidising fats minimises filter arm / retro jet blockages, reducing maintenance and cleaning time.
• Cleans up filter beds and stops "ponding".  A beneficial side effect of a clean filter bed is that insect larvae have very little media to breed on.

Savings

Savings are made with reduced sludge, better consistency and smoother flow through the plant.  Treatment enhances Bio Gas production (a recent U.K. report indicates 15%-30% increase in Bio Gas production).

Another U.K. report indicates a saving on electricity, where due to weather and the time of year, consumption was expected to increase and it actually went down.

The use of liquid Bio Cultures is extremely cost effective.   Dispensing with chemical flocculants.
