BactaServe Liquid Methanogens for Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment
BactaServe Liquid Methanogens is a specialised anaerobic microbial culture designed to enhance bio-methanation, increase methane production, and stabilise anaerobic digestion processes in ETPs, STPs, and biogas plants. It supports faster digester startup, VFA control, COD and BOD reduction, and stable anaerobic treatment performance under varying organic loads.
BactaServe Liquid Methanogens - Product Overview
BactaServe Liquid Methanogens is a specialised anaerobic microbial culture formulated to enhance biological activity in anaerobic wastewater treatment and digestion systems. The formulation supports methanogenic activity, helping convert biodegradable organic matter into methane and improve the overall efficiency of anaerobic digestion.
When introduced into anaerobic digesters or biological reactors, the microbial culture helps maintain active microbial populations, supports VFA control, and promotes stable bio-methanation. This can improve methane production, COD and BOD reduction, and process stability during changing operating conditions.
BactaServe Liquid Methanogens is suitable for anaerobic digesters, biogas plants, industrial ETPs and municipal STPs where enhanced anaerobic microbial activity and stable digestion performance are required.

The product is suitable for anaerobic treatment systems where maintaining microbial activity, supporting methanogenesis and improving digestion stability are required.
How it Works
BactaServe Liquid Methanogens works by introducing specialised anaerobic microbial activity into wastewater treatment and digestion systems. The microbial culture supports the biological conversion of biodegradable organic matter under anaerobic conditions, promoting methanogenesis and methane formation.
The culture also supports volatile fatty acid conversion, helping maintain balanced anaerobic digestion and reducing the risk of process souring. Improved microbial activity contributes to organic matter degradation and supports COD and BOD reduction.
As methanogenic activity becomes more stable, the anaerobic treatment process can achieve improved biogas generation, better organic degradation and more consistent process performance.
Dosage and Application
The dosage of BactaServe Liquid Methanogens depends on reactor volume, COD loading, VFA levels, organic loading and specific plant operating conditions. Plant-specific dosing should therefore be determined based on the characteristics and operating requirements of the treatment system.
Startup / Inoculation
During startup or inoculation, the product is dosed based on reactor volume and COD load to establish and support anaerobic microbial activity.
Maintenance Dosing
Regular maintenance dosing can be used to maintain microbial activity and support stable anaerobic treatment performance during ongoing operation.
Dilution
BactaServe Liquid Methanogens can be diluted with water before dosing where required.
Application Guidelines
-
Dose according to reactor volume and organic loading conditions
-
Startup dosage should consider COD load and reactor conditions
-
Maintenance dosing can be applied to maintain microbial activity
-
Monitor VFA levels and overall anaerobic process performance
-
Dosage should be adjusted according to plant operating conditions
