Leaving a Lasting Legacy

We’re passionate about making a positive impact on our community in both the short- and long-term. The vision of our newest initiative, the FCS Legacy Project, is to develop a sustainable program that lasts a lifetime for its recipients. This year, we began developing a committee to spearhead a project that provides regenerating value throughout the years.

Stay tuned for more updates in 2026!
2025 was another great year of using our extensive knowledge and experience to help our partners succeed in bioaugmentation wastewater treatment. We attended trade shows, hosted webinars, and continued to empower our customers to sell quickly and confidently through our Biotifx® Platform. We provide the technical support, education, and tools you need to succeed in the marketplace via our Products, Programs, and People.

The CLEAR Answer to Tough Odors

Through innovative work in the lab, our microbiologists discovered that many market-leading ingredients just couldn’t tackle some of the most common—yet difficult-to-degrade—odor compounds found in I&I applications. After almost two years of dedicated research and development, we filled that marketplace gap this year with the launch of SporActiv® CLEAR. CLEAR is our latest I&Ifocused ingredient with newly discovered Bacillus strains that maximize odor reduction. Explore the CLEAR story below:
