EcoClean™ 118 - Microorganisms for wastewater treatment in pulp and papermills

Due to the diversity of bacterial strains and enzymes blended in the product, EcoClean™ 118 is an excellent solution for treating wastewater in the paper industry, where high concentrations of organic cellulose fibers are prevalent.

EcoClean™ 118 is a special combination of microbial strains, micronutrients, fungi, and surfactants designed to promote biomass growth.

Benefits of biomass augmentation:

• Reduces sludge disposal costs.
• Ensures compliance with discharge standards.
• Reduces filamentous organisms.
• Enhances BOD and TSS removal.
• Significantly reduces labor requirements.
• Increases BOD/COD removal efficiency.
• Reduces H₂S levels.
• Decreases sludge formation.
• Economical and easy to use.
• Alters biomass dynamics.
• Requires no additional equipment.
• Improves system efficiency.
• Reduces odors at the discharge source.
• Breaks down a wide range of complex organic compounds.
• Includes facultative anaerobic processes.
• Lowers polymer and sludge compaction costs.

Usage instructions:

Paper mill wastewater treatment facility: The dosage is based on the daily wastewater flow. Treatment can be combined with supplemental nutrients for microorganisms, with the dosage being half the cost of the microbial treatment used. The standard dosage is as follows:

Storage and handling:

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
• Handling: Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water after use.
