Low Temperature (LT) is a blend of cold weather Bacillus bacteria designed for reliable performance when water drops below 15°C/60°F. While standard bacteria lose efficiency in cold weather, strains in LT retain up to 90% biological activity at 4°C/39°F, providing effective winter wastewater treatment for plants and lagoons, and supporting pond maintenance where cold weather slows natural biology. By reducing sludge buildup and supporting nutrient balance, LT helps operators avoid seasonal disruptions and ensures a smooth handoff into spring operations.
Cold weather creates major challenges for wastewater systems of all types, from municipal and industrial plants to lagoons and ponds. Lower temperatures slow biological conversion and accelerate sludge buildup, creating seasonal risks. LT addresses these issues by supplying a tailored consortium of low temperature wastewater treatment bacteria that remain active and resilient when conventional microbes become sluggish.
Formulated to enhance activated sludge cold weather performance, lagoons, and biological nutrient removal systems, LT supports consistent BOD reduction at low temperature, reliable COD reduction in cold wastewater, and more stable ammonia removal and denitrification cycles. Its cold-active strains help maintain effluent clarity, reduce odor, and limit the seasonal sludge accumulation that typically disrupts operations in spring.
LT is engineered to perform in cold environments across municipal and industrial wastewater systems. Its cold-active microbial strains deliver dependable results where conventional bioaugmentation products slow down.
By limiting excess solids buildup during winter, LT helps prevent nutrient surges that cause springtime process problems.
LT strengthens cold-weather process resilience, keeping operations stable and helping facilities recover faster from upsets.
Searching for the best low temperature wastewater treatment bacteria? Bio-Green LT delivers a proven, science-backed solution for winter operations in municipal plants, lagoons, and ponds. Whether you need bulk supply for wastewater operations, private-label microbes, or OEM microbial bases for product development, LT provides dependable value for B2B buyers and distributors seeking a trusted cold-weather bioaugmentation platform.

A: LT is a specialized blend of low temperature wastewater treatment bacteria designed for cold weather operations. These cold-active, psychrotolerant strains retain ~90% biological activity at 4 °C/39 °F, allowing wastewater plants, lagoons, and ponds to maintain treatment efficiency when conventional microbes slow down. LT supports reliable BOD, COD, TSS, and sludge reduction in winter conditions.
A: Standard microbial products lose about 50% of their activity for every 10 °C temperature drop. In cold weather, this means treatment slows dramatically, leading to sludge buildup, odor, and compliance issues. LT’s cold weather wastewater microbes are engineered for winter wastewater treatment, keeping systems stable and reducing seasonal disruptions.
A: LT supports critical biological functions that are normally compromised at low temperatures:
A: Yes. LT’s cold-active microbes accelerate sludge digestion at low temperatures, limiting solids buildup. This prevents nitrogen and phosphorus release that drive odors, TSS spikes, and algae blooms during spring thaw.
A: By improving biological efficiency in winter, LT reduces sludge hauling, dredging, and chemical costs. It also minimizes aeration energy demand by keeping the biomass active and stable in cold conditions.
A: Yes. LT is formulated for activated sludge cold weather performance and works well in SBR cold weather treatment and MBBR cold temperature systems. It also improves stability in lagoons and ponds where operators need low-maintenance, reliable microbial activity during winter.
A: Absolutely. LT is effective for ponds that experience sludge buildup, odor, or algae problems in winter. By maintaining microbial activity in cold water, LT prevents nutrient surges and ensures smoother pond recovery as temperatures rise.
A: LT is supplied in multiple dosing options to fit different systems:
A: Yes. LT is available as a slow-release block designed for easy dosing in ponds, lagoons, and wastewater treatment systems. The block format steadily delivers low temperature lagoon and pond bacteria into the water, ensuring consistent activity through the winter months.
A: Each LT block is formulated to dissolve gradually over about 30 days, depending on water temperature, flow, and organic load. As a general guide, one block can maintain microbial activity in approximately one acre of pond or lagoon surface area. Multiple blocks can be applied for larger systems or higher loading conditions.
A: Place blocks where there is good circulation—such as near aerators, inlets, or suspended from docks or platforms. Circulation helps disperse the microbes evenly for reliable sludge digestion and water quality improvement.
A: Yes. LT blocks contain all-natural, non-GMO bacteria and are safe for fish, aquatic plants, pets, and wildlife. They are also safe for recreational water, which can be used immediately after application.
A: Yes. LT is available in bulk and wholesale supply for municipal and industrial wastewater facilities, pond managers, and lagoon operators. Custom CFU concentrations and packaging sizes are available upon request.
A: Yes. LT is offered in private label, OEM, and distributor-ready formats. It can be packaged in powder, liquid, block, or tablet form to meet the needs of B2B buyers across different markets.
