Overview
Wastewater treatment facilities require efficient, effective remediation solutions to remove bio-based contaminants and meet discharge permit requirements.
CHEMCROBE™ specialized bacteria from Baker Hughes helps you achieve these goals. Our CHEMCROBE specialized bacteria are high-tech “bugs” that convert unwanted dissolved organics and other contaminants into useful bacteria, carbon dioxide, and water.
Effectively treat a range of wastewater contaminants
CHEMCROBE treatments are one of our secret weapons for improved biodegradation of specific wastes and faster recovery from process upsets. Our targeted treatments biologically reduce a wide range of contaminants, including:
- Halogenated and non-halogenated hydrocarbons
- Chlorinated and non-chlorinated phenols and phenol-related compounds
- Alcohols and surfactants
- Nitrogen-derived compounds, including ammonia, organic amines, nitrites, and cyanide
- Metals including sulfides
- Methacrylate, waxes, oils, and greases
- Algae control in lagoon systems
Boost bioaugmentation in your activated sludge system
Maintaining the proper operating environment for your facility’s activated sludge process is essential to the overall remediation operation. That’s why CHEMCROBE treatments offer nutrient-rich additives for improved sludge stability and growth. Our treatments include potassium and nitrogen macronutrients that support bacterial cell reproduction and micronutrient bio-stimulants that promote bacterial growth.
Maximize treatment efficiency at minimal risk and expense
Regardless of your wastewater source, CHEMCROBE specialized bacteria provide a natural, ecologically sound remediation solution that delivers:
- Reduced chemical and biochemical oxygen demand (COD and BOD)
- Improved removal of total suspended solids, total organic carbon, and specific organics
- Enhanced biological process stability and dissolved oxygen transfer
- Reduced filamentous bulking for improved sludge and solids removal
- Increased effluent clarity
- Lower foaming and sludge production tendencies
- Optimized facility performance at a wider operating envelope and reduced chemical costs
- Compliance with government regulations and permitting on effluent levels
