BactaServe Aerobic - Bioculture for Wastewater Treatment

BactaServe Aerobic is a high performance aerobic bioculture developed and manufactured by Amalgam Biotech to enhance biological oxidation in aerobic wastewater treatment systems. Designed for oxygen-rich environments, it enhances organic degradation, stabilizes active biomass, and restores underperforming treatment systems without requiring infrastructure modification.
 

BactaServe Aerobic is widely applied in Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) and Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP) to improve aerobic biological performance and treatment stability across municipal and industrial wastewater applications.
 

Manufactured by Amalgam Biotech, an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified company, the product is supplied across India and international markets.

Key Performance Benefits

  • Works effectively in oxygen rich treatment environments

  • Rapid increase in MLSS with high MLVSS values

  • Strong and consistent biodegradation of organic pollutants

  • Helps maintain biological stability in changing wastewater conditions

  • Supports nitrification and denitrification processes

  • Suppresses pathogen growth and promotes healthy biomass

  • Suitable for municipal and industrial wastewater applications

Benefits of BactaServe Aerobic 

  • Faster commissioning of new or underperforming STP and ETP plants

  • Higher BOD and COD removal efficiency

  • Strong resistance to shock load and fluctuating influent

  • Reduction in foul odour in aeration and secondary treatment areas

  • Lower sludge volume due to improved biodegradation

  • No downtime - Reduced operational cost 

  • Improved treated water quality that meets compliance standards

Compatible Treatment Systems

BactaServe Aerobic is suitable for integration into existing aerobic treatment configurations including:

  • Sewage Treatment Plants (STP)

  • Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP)

  • Activated Sludge Process systems

  • Sequential Batch Reactors (SBR)

  • Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBR)

  • Membrane Bioreactors (MBR)

  • Extended aeration systems

Implementation does not require modification of aeration capacity, clarifiers, or hydraulic retention time.

How it Works

When BactaServe Aerobic is added to the aeration tank, the bacteria quickly adjust to the wastewater conditions. With sufficient dissolved oxygen, these bacteria begin consuming organic pollutants present in the wastewater. As microbial populations increase, complex organic matter is converted into stable end products such as carbon dioxide, water, and biologically stable sludge. This improves biological activity, strengthens sludge formation, and improves settling in the clarifier. Over time, the treatment system becomes more stable, odor reduces, and treated water quality improves consistently.

Dosage and Application

The required quantity depends on wastewater volume, organic load, and plant operating conditions.
 

Mix 1 kg of BactaServe Aerobic in 20 litres of clean feed water. For higher quantities, maintain the same ratio (2 kg in 40 litres and proportionally higher as required). Mix thoroughly before dosing.
 

  • Higher dosage during startup, shock load, or recovery phase

  • Maintenance dosage for steady state operation

  • Ensure adequate aeration during application

  • Avoid simultaneous use of chlorine or strong biocides
     

*Actual dosage varies based on influent characteristics and reactor configuration. Plant-specific recommendations are provided by Amalgam Biotech.

Technical Performance Evidence and Field Validation

Controlled field applications across industrial ETP and municipal STP systems demonstrate measurable improvement in organic degradation efficiency, biomass development, and aerobic treatment stability following biological stabilization using BactaServe Aerobic.

Organic Load Reduction Performance

Across aerobic treatment stages in industrial ETPs and STPs, the use of BactaServe Aerobic has resulted in:
 

  • COD reduction improvement ranging from 85% to above 95% in stabilized aerobic systems.

  • BOD reduction improvement typically exceeding 90% once active biomass is established

  • Faster attainment of steady state conditions after startup or shock loading events

  • In pharmaceutical and chemical wastewater applications, aerobic outlet COD values have been observed to reduce from above 3000 mg/L to below 500 mg/L after biological stabilization under controlled operating conditions.

Biomass Development and Health Indicators

One of the primary indicators of aerobic system health is the development of active biomass. Field observations indicate that BactaServe Aerobic supports:
 

  • Increase in MLSS concentrations from sub-optimal levels below 1000 mg/L to stable operating ranges between 3000 to 4500 mg/L

  • Improvement in MLVSS to MLSS ratio from below 40% to values exceeding 60%, indicating healthier and more active biomass

  • Improved sludge settleability, reflected through stable SV30 behavior and reduced biomass carryover

These changes directly contribute to consistent organic degradation and reduced system variability.

System Recovery and Stability Outcomes

In systems affected by shock loads, toxic influent, or biological stress, the application of BactaServe Aerobic has supported:
 

  • Restoration of aerobic conditions in tanks exhibiting grey or inactive biomass

  • Reduction in foaming and odour associated with incomplete aerobic oxidation

  • Improved dissolved oxygen utilization efficiency due to active microbial respiration

  • In multiple cases, visible improvement in aeration tank colour and biological activity has been observed within 10 to 20 days of controlled dosing and operational correction.
