amnite k100

Biochemical Pre-Treatment for Bulking Sludges

Composition

The product contains:

  • surfactants to inhibit and disrupt filamentous growth
  • free enzymes and nutrients

Microbial Content

The product is a biochemical product. It does not contain any micro-organisms.

Operating Conditions

The product is added as a dry powder directly to the aeration basin at a point giving the maximum possible rapid mixing and dispersion throughout the mixed liquors. The product is most effective when the operating conditions in the treatment plant are close to the optimum conditions listed below:

Parameter Optimum Range
pH 7.0 6.5 - 8.5
Temperature 25°C 8 - 40°C
Dissolved oxygen 2.0 mg/l >1.0
C.N.P 100:7.5:1 100:5:1 - 100:10:1
Heavy Metals Absent Absent

Applications

Amnite K100 is ideal for application as a "fire-fighting" agent to treat bulking sludges caused by the presence of an excessively high proportion of filamentous organisms in the biomass. The product not only inhibits the growth of filamentous organisms but also disrupts long filaments and surface scum.

Summary

Amnite K100 is a fine powder formulated to control the filamentous organisms found in bulking sludges. The product is intended to be applied as a pre-treatment prior to using Amnite K150. The combined Amnite K100/K150 treatment programme greatly improves the sludge settling characteristics. The product is homogeneous and safe to use. It does not contain any hazardous chemicals.
