Spring is a time of revitalization, especially for the microbial communities in wastewater systems. Microbial activity increases as temperatures rise, and the transformation of these communities as they adapt to the temperature change can cause various issues for system operators. Getting ahead of these challenges doesn’t have to be difficult, though. With MDG’s expertise in Bacillus-based bioaugmentation treatment, you can successfully deliver powerful, cost-effective solutions to your customers. Discover why springtime can exacerbate some common wastewater problems, and find out how MDG’s Biotifx® bioaugmentation products can help.
Sludge and FOG: The Visible Challenges
Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) and sludge tend to accumulate and cause system backups if not removed. Before the real heat of summer sets in, it’s a good idea to take advantage of spring’s transitional weather and find locations where FOG and sludge buildup might be an issue. Helping your customers identify and treat those areas can set them up for success in the months ahead. Plus, when you become one of our distribution partners, you’ll have access to application-specific guides that make it easy to understand where and how to treat.
H2S and Odors: The Invisible Challenges
Climbing temperatures can have an unwanted effect on the production of odors and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas in treatment systems. As temperatures rise and the activity of the native microbial population increases, wastewater becomes anaerobic faster, which accelerates H2S production. This leads to excessive odors and H2S generation (Figure 1).

The Bacillus bacteria in our Biotifx® products work to proactively reduce the production of H2S and odors during these times. Using Biotifx® to treat upstream of these issues before they manifest during warmer months can also reduce or prevent the need for extensive and reactive chemical treatment methods.
