Shrimp Pond Water Quality and Yield Improvement
A commercial shrimp farm in Colima, Mexico faced chronic sludge buildup, black anaerobic pond bottoms, elevated ammonia and nitrite, and recurring sulfur odors. These conditions caused shrimp stress, poor growth uniformity, parasite pressure, frequent water exchanges, and reduced yields, limiting profitability and shortening production cycles.
Before
Prior to treatment, ponds accumulated heavy organic sludge and emitted sulfur odors. Shrimp showed stress symptoms, uneven growth, and higher mortality. Elevated ammonia required 8–10 water exchanges per cycle, increasing operating costs and reducing pond stability. Pond bottoms deteriorated rapidly, forcing periodic soil removal and limiting the number of viable production cycles.
After
With Aquaculture Treat (AQ), pond bottoms remained firm and aerobic with no sulfur odors. Water exchange was eliminated during the production cycle. Shrimp showed improved health, uniform growth, and higher survival. Total harvest increased from 3,650 kg to 4,268 kg in a 7,000 m² pond, feed conversion improved from 1.79 to 1.37, and survival increased from 69% to 77%. The farm achieved an estimated ROI of over 1,200% per cycle through higher yields and lower operating costs.
Ammonia Reduction in Petrochemical Wastewater
A petrochemical wastewater treatment facility was unable to consistently meet updated discharge standards requiring ammonia below 5 mg/L. Effluent ammonia levels typically ranged between 5–8 mg/L, despite multiple attempts using both domestic and imported nitrifying bacteria products. These approaches failed to deliver stable ammonia removal, leaving the plant at risk of non-compliance and operational penalties.
Before
After
Ammonia Treat (AM) microbes were applied to the petrochemical wastewater system to support biological ammonia removal under existing operating conditions. Within three days, effluent ammonia dropped to 2 mg/L and then stabilized below 1 mg/L, consistently meeting the new discharge limits. Because AM contains heterotrophic, carbon-utilizing ammonia-reducing bacteria, COD was also reduced, improving overall wastewater treatment performance without relying on conventional nitrifying bacteria.
Ammonia Reduction in Rural Landfill Leachate
A rural landfill in Chengdu was treating high-strength landfill leachate with ammonia concentrations reaching 850 mg/L. The elevated ammonia caused severe odors, poor biological treatability, and made it difficult to stabilize the leachate for downstream handling or discharge. Conventional treatment approaches were insufficient to rapidly reduce ammonia and odor levels.
Before
After
Ammonia Treat (AM) powder was applied directly to the landfill leachate with proper aeration to support biological activity. The high-CFU ammonia-reducing bacteria rapidly established and began consuming ammonia. Within 10 hours, ammonia levels dropped from 850 mg/L to 60 mg/L, dramatically improving treatability and reducing odor intensity. After 26 hours, ammonia was further reduced to 4 mg/L, demonstrating fast, effective biological ammonia removal in high-strength landfill leachate conditions.
Pond Water Quality Improvement With Reduced Algae Pressure
A freshwater pond in Wisconsin experienced declining water quality due to excess organic buildup and nutrient accumulation. These conditions fueled persistent algae pressure, surface scum, poor water clarity, and nuisance odors that disrupted the pond’s aquatic balance.
Before
Prior to treatment, the pond showed visible algae and surface scum, elevated turbidity, and strong odors. Organic accumulation and unstable nutrient cycling negatively affected pond aesthetics and aquatic life.
After
A high-CFU beneficial pond bacteria powder was applied as directed. Within two weeks, water clarity visibly improved, surface scum and algae pressure were significantly reduced, and odors were eliminated as organic matter and excess nutrients were biologically digested.
Tequila Distillery Wastewater Treatment With Odor and Sludge Reduction
High-Strength Tequila Production Wastewater Overloading Aeration Tanks: Raw wastewater generated from tequila production caused severe organic loading, leading to reduced aeration tank treatment capacity. The system suffered from persistent odors, heavy sludge accumulation on the tank bottom, and a thick surface scum layer, all of which impaired biological wastewater treatment performance and increased operational costs.
Before
Before implementation of Bio-Green Wastewater Treat (WT), the tequila production wastewater treatment plant was experiencing severe operational constraints due to excessive organic loading. The aeration tank had significantly reduced treatment capacity caused by heavy sludge accumulation at the tank bottom and a thick scum layer on the surface, which limited oxygen transfer and biological activity. Persistent odors were present throughout the system, indicating incomplete organic degradation and anaerobic conditions. As sludge volume increased, overall wastewater treatment efficiency declined, aeration demand rose, and plant performance became increasingly unstable.
After
After implementation of Bio-Green Wastewater Treat (WT), offensive odors were fully eliminated within seven days of treatment. Within fourteen days, the heavy surface scum layer was almost completely removed, restoring effective oxygen transfer in the aeration tank. Continued biological activity resulted in the digestion of more than one meter of accumulated sludge at the tank bottom, evidenced by a corresponding drop of over one meter in aeration tank water level. As sludge volume decreased, overall aeration tank treatment capacity increased, improving system performance. The reduction in organic load also lowered demand on aeration equipment, resulting in measurable reductions in electricity consumption and ongoing operating costs.
Poultry Slaughterhouse Wastewater With FOG, Odor, and BOD Reduction
Excessive Surface Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Accumulation: The wastewater treatment system experienced severe surface FOG buildup, leading to odor generation, reduced oxygen transfer, inhibited biological activity, and poor overall wastewater treatment efficiency.
Before
A 90,000-bird-per-day poultry slaughterhouse wastewater treatment plant experienced severe fats, oils, and grease (FOG) accumulation, strong odor generation, and poor biological performance. The facility treated 2,250 m³/day with an 8-day hydraulic retention time, but biological wastewater treatment efficiency was low, with effluent BOD concentrations of 860 mg/L and inadequate organic load reduction.
After
Following application of high-CFU wastewater treatment bacteria, FOG buildup and wastewater odors were eliminated at the source. Effluent BOD was reduced from 860 mg/L to 121 mg/L, and overall wastewater treatment plant efficiency increased from 55% to 86% within 90 days, restoring stable biological performance and improving compliance.
