BactaServe Anaerobic Granular Catalyst for UASB & Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment
BactaServe Anaerobic Granular Catalyst is a high-density anaerobic biomass formulation designed to accelerate the startup and stabilisation of anaerobic wastewater treatment systems. It supports VFA conversion, biomass retention, methane and biogas production, COD and BOD reduction, and stable treatment performance under hydraulic and organic shock loads.
BactaServe Anaerobic Granular Catalyst - Product Overview
BactaServe Anaerobic Granular Catalyst is a high-density biomass solution developed for advanced anaerobic wastewater treatment systems. The formulation is designed to support rapid establishment of active anaerobic biomass in high-rate reactors and improve biological treatment performance.
When introduced into anaerobic reactors, the granular biomass supports organic degradation, VFA conversion and biomass retention. Its high settleability helps minimise biomass washout while supporting stable reactor operation and faster system recovery.
BactaServe Anaerobic Granular Catalyst is suitable for UASB, EGSB and Internal Circulation (IC) reactors, as well as high-rate biogas digesters, anaerobic contact reactors and high-strength industrial wastewater treatment plants.

Benefits of BactaServe Anaerobic Granular Catalyst
-
Faster Anaerobic System Startup: BactaServe Anaerobic Granular Catalyst provides high-density biomass that supports faster establishment of anaerobic treatment activity during reactor startup and commissioning.
-
Enhanced VFA Conversion: The granular biomass supports efficient volatile fatty acid conversion, helping maintain stable anaerobic treatment conditions and biological activity.
-
Higher Methane and Biogas Yield: Enhanced anaerobic microbial activity supports organic degradation and methanogenesis, helping maximise specific methane and biogas production.
-
Improved COD and BOD Reduction: Active anaerobic biomass promotes the biological degradation of organic pollutants, supporting efficient COD and BOD reduction in high-strength wastewater.
-
Greater Resistance to Shock Loads: The high-density biomass supports process stability when anaerobic reactors experience hydraulic or organic loading fluctuations.
-
Reduced Biomass Washout: High settleability helps retain granular biomass within the reactor, reducing the risk of biomass washout and supporting faster system recovery.
How it Works
BactaServe Anaerobic Granular Catalyst works by introducing high-density anaerobic biomass into the treatment reactor. The granular biomass provides an active microbial population capable of supporting the biological degradation of organic matter under anaerobic conditions.
As anaerobic microbial activity increases, organic pollutants are converted through the anaerobic digestion process, supporting COD and BOD reduction while promoting VFA conversion and methane generation.
The high settleability of the granular biomass helps retain active microorganisms within the reactor. This improves biomass retention, reduces the risk of washout and supports stable reactor performance during changing hydraulic and organic loading conditions.
The result is faster anaerobic system establishment, improved organic degradation, enhanced biogas generation and more stable treatment performance.
Dosage and Application
The dosage of BactaServe Anaerobic Granular Catalyst depends on the reactor design, hydraulic retention time and organic loading rate (OLR). The required quantity should therefore be determined according to the specific characteristics and operating conditions of the anaerobic treatment system.
Direct Reactor Inoculation
BactaServe Anaerobic Granular Catalyst is ready for direct inoculation into UASB, EGSB and IC reactors.
Startup and Commissioning
The product can be used during anaerobic system startup and commissioning to accelerate the establishment of active biomass and biological treatment activity.
Application Guidelines
-
Apply directly to suitable anaerobic reactors according to the plant-specific dosing protocol
-
Consider reactor design when determining the required dosage
-
Consider hydraulic retention time during dosage planning
-
Evaluate organic loading rate (OLR) before application
-
Monitor reactor performance during startup and recovery
-
Consult the Amalgam Biotech technical team for a tailored dosing protocol
Actual dosage requirements depend on reactor design, hydraulic retention time, organic loading rate and plant operating conditions. Amalgam Biotech recommends a customised dosing protocol based on the specific anaerobic treatment system.
