BactaServe MLSS Debulking - Bioculture for Sludge Settling Improvement

BactaServe MLSS Debulking is a specialised bioculture formulated to control filamentous bacteria, reduce sludge bulking and improve MLSS settleability in sewage and effluent treatment plants. It helps eliminate pin flocs, fluffy sludge and poor settling conditions by promoting healthy floc formation and improving clarifier performance.

BactaServe Bioculture MLSS De-bulking product pouch by Amalgam, orange and black packaging intended for reducing mixed liquor suspended solids in wastewater treatment.

BactaServe MLSS Debulking

Pack Size -1Kg

MLSS instability is a common issue in ASP, SBR, MBR and MBBR plants. Filamentous organisms, high organic load variation and unequal sludge growth can lead to bulking, poor compaction and floating sludge. BactaServe MLSS Debulking contains acclimatised microbes that suppress uncontrolled filament growth and support balanced bacterial activity for compact, well settling sludge.

Key Features

  • Suppresses growth of filamentous organisms

  • Improves MLSS settleability and compaction

  • Prevents development of pin flocs and fluffy flocs

  • Promotes formation of strong, stable flocs

  • Encourages production of glycocalyx and EPS needed for healthy floc structure

  • Suitable for STPs and ETPs with frequent influent variation

  • Works in low BOD or low flow conditions

  • Helps restore clarifier performance quickly

Benefits of BactaServe MLSS Debulking

  • Reduces bulking and floating sludge issues

  • Improves clarifier settling and sludge density

  • Helps maintain stable sludge blanket levels

  • Enhances secondary clarifier efficiency

  • Supports stable MLSS levels during fluctuating loads

  • Improves treated water clarity

  • Reduces sludge washout and plant downtime

  • Ideal for plants with low design load or underloaded conditions

Suitable Treatment Processes

BactaServe MLSS Debulking performs effectively in:

  • Activated Sludge Process ASP

  • Extended Aeration

  • Sequencing Batch Reactor SBR

  • Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor MBBR

  • Membrane Bio Reactor MBR

  • It is also suitable for ETPs with high load variation.

Applications

Use the product for:

  • Sludge bulking control

  • Filament suppression

  • Pin floc correction

  • Improving clarifier settling

  • Stabilising MLSS after shock loads

  • Plants with fluctuating influent BOD

  • STPs and ETPs operating below design load

How BactaServe Aerobic Works

The formulation contains microbial strains that outcompete filamentous bacteria and encourage balanced floc forming species. These microbes promote production of extracellular polysaccharides and glycocalyx which strengthen floc structure. As a result, sludge settles faster, compacts better and forms a stable blanket in the clarifier. The process also reduces pin flocs and floating solids.

Dosage and Activation

Activation Method

Mix 1 kg BactaServe MLSS Debulking in 20 litres of clean non chlorinated feed water. Mix thoroughly and use immediately after activation.

Dosage Guidelines

Daily dosage depends on wastewater volume, organic load, MLSS instability level, presence of filamentous growth. Contact us for a detailed dosing schedule.
