Biological treatment, explained plainly.
Aquativ programs use targeted bacterial consortia and enzymes to support the natural digestion processes that water systems already rely on - accelerated, stabilised and dosed for the specific conditions of your site.
Four steps from dose to stable performance.
Dose
Concentrated biological program applied to the inlet, sump or wet well at a rate matched to system loading.
Activate
Cultures hydrate and begin colonising surfaces, biofilm layers and sludge interfaces.
Digest
Enzymes and bacteria break down fats, proteins, starches and organic load into simpler compounds.
Stabilise
Population establishes, odour pathways drop, and system performance steadies on maintenance dosing.
Six biological levers behind every program.
Microbial consortia
Multi-strain blends matched to aerobic, anaerobic or facultative conditions.
Enzymatic support
Lipase, protease and amylase activity to accelerate hydrolysis of complex molecules.
Nutrient balance
Programs respecting the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus relationships your bugs need.
Targeted reseeding
Recovery cultures for biofilters, digesters and activated sludge after upsets.
FOG digestion
Bacterial action on fats, oils and grease in kitchen and trade-waste lines.
Odour pathway control
Addressing the biology behind hydrogen sulphide and VFA-driven smells, not masking it.
Site conditions vary.
Biological treatment programs should be matched to actual loading, retention time, temperature and system design. Aquativ recommends a site review before adopting a maintenance program. Outcomes depend on system condition, dosing discipline and operational factors outside the product itself.
