Product Description

Waste Treat - animal (WTa) is a targeted microbial blend designed to degrade, breakdown and consume animal waste in wastewater and waste lagoons.  Animal feces and urine are what's on the menu for WTa bugs, and they not only consume waste and sludge buildup, they also drastically reduce odors in the process.  

Bio-Green WTa is a blend of facultatively anaerobic microbial cultures, which means that they can function both with and without oxygen, making this a very versatile product.  Toss some at your wastewater and watch, or better yet, smell the magic.

Key Features

  • Unique blend of facultatively anaerobic microbial cultures
  • Effective in wide range of temperatures, from 15-45°C (60-113°F)
  • Effective in wide pH range, from 5.0 - 9.0
  • Works together with existing microbial consortia
  • Aerobes/facultative anaerobes
  • No harsh ingredients, non-toxic, non-GMO

Key Benefits

  • Accelerates decomposition and digestion of biomass (sludge) that consists mainly of animal waste
  • Consume excess nutrients including nitrates and phosphates in WWTP, lagoons and holding tanks
  • Drastically reduces the need for mechanical dredging and treatment with toxic chemicals
  • Substantially reduces BOD, COD and TSS levels and eliminates malodors

Applicable Uses

Ideal for use in agricultural wastewater, waste lagoons and animal (zoological) waste lagoons, canals, waterways and holding tanks and ponds.

Product Forms

Available in concentrated granular and liquid form.

Case Studies

Location
Michigan, USA
Problem
Dairy farm waste lagoon and irrigation canal with manure crust mat and high solids (TSS). Ever present putrid odor with frequent complaint. >80 hours to pump water from lagoon for irrigation; high pumping cost.
Treatment
Bio-Green Waste Treat - animal product applied via metering pump at primary inlet to waste lagoon along with proper agitation.
Results
After 30 days, 70% open water.  Drastically reduced odors.  55 hours to pump from lagoon for irrigation.

After 45 days treatment, the lagoon and canal manure mat was eliminated and TSS drastically reduced. 90% open water. No odors or complaints. 38 hours to pump from lagoon to irrigation; minimal pumping costs.

Location
South Dakota, USA
Problem
2,220 head South Dakota dairy with 3 stage lagoon system and no solids separator. Stage 1 had thick crust, stage 2 had some crust and stage 3 contained thick liquid manure. High BOD, COD and TSS. Heavy hydrogen sulfide odors from all 3 stages were drawing complaints from neighbors.
Treatment
Bio-Green Waste Treat - animal liquid and powder shock dosage applied to the lagoons with monthly dosage applied via peristaltic metering pump based on influent coming from the barns.  Surface aerator installed to accelerate the microbial activity.
Results
Sulfide levels reduced to near zero.  BOD reduced by >80%, COD reduced >60% and TSS reduced by 80%.  By the first week of July, several million gallons of manure from stage 2 were being pumped to a nearby alfalfa field.  The liquid consistency went from thick liquid to a thin, less viscous quality with almost no odors.  No complaints during annual lagoon treatment from May to October.
