NutriServe BOD Enhancer - Process Additives

NutriServe BOD Enhancer is a specialised formulation designed to artificially increase the inherent BOD load in organically starved wastewater streams. During the commissioning phase of STPs and ETPs, microorganisms require a minimum BOD threshold for rapid multiplication, acclimatization, and stable MLSS development.

NutriServe BOD Enhancer ensures a consistent and controlled supply of essential BOD, helping reduce commissioning time, stabilize shock loads, and accelerate biological system performance.

NutriServe BOD Enhancer 1kg powder for increasing BOD during STP and ETP commissioning

NutriServe BOD Enhancer

Pack Size: 1 Kg

NutriServe BOD Enhancer artificially increases the inherent BOD load in wastewater, kickstarting the biological treatment process in a safe and controlled manner. Supercharging the metabolic activity of beneficial microorganisms in your wastewater treatment system. This results in faster organic matter breakdown and more efficient pollutant removal.

  • Supplements useful bacteria within the ETP/STP

  • Improves biological stability during low-load conditions

  • Supports smoother transition to steady-state operation

​Suitable Treatment Areas & Applications

NutriServe BOD Enhancer is ideal for:

  • STP commissioning

  • ETP commissioning

  • Plants receiving organically starved wastewater

  • Industrial ETPs with fluctuating organic loads

  • Biological systems with slow MLSS development

  • Systems facing shock load or low influent BOD issues

How NutriServe BOD Enhancer Works

NutriServe BOD Enhancer provides an instant, bioavailable BOD source that:

  • Helps bacteria reach the minimum BOD threshold required for growth

  • Accelerates microbial multiplication and acclimatization

  • Promotes faster MLSS and MLVSS build-up

  • Stabilizes biological reactors during start-up and load variations

This ensures the biological system reaches optimal operating conditions faster and more reliably.

Dosage & Application Method

Note: Always follow site-specific recommendations shared by Amalgam Biotech’s technical team.

Application Method

  • ​Dissolve the required quantity of NutriServe BOD Enhancer in water

  • Dose into the inlet of the biological treatment system

  • Ensure proper mixing with raw or partially treated wastewater

  • Can be dosed manually or via dosing systems during commissioning phase

Dosage Guidelines

  • ​Dosage depends on existing influent BOD levels and target MLSS growth

  • Typical dosing is calculated based on required BOD supplementation

  • 1 kg product adds 1 kg BOD and 1.5 kg COD to the system

  • Final dosage should be optimized by the plant operator or technical expert

Safety, Handling and Storage

  • ​Store in a cool, dry place, away from moisture

  • Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use

  • Avoid inhalation of powder; use gloves and mask while handling

  • Non-toxic when used as directed; not intended for ingestion

  • Keep away from children and untrained personnel

Why Choose NutriServe BOD Enhancer?

  • ​Designed specifically for STP & ETP commissioning support

  • Provides controlled and predictable BOD supplementation

  • Reduces start-up time significantly

  • Supports rapid MLSS and MLVSS development

  • Stabilizes biological performance under low-load conditions

  • Easy to store, handle, and apply

  • Backed by Amalgam Biotech’s wastewater process expertise
