Supporting Carbon Availability in Biological Wastewater Treatment

Biological wastewater treatment requires an adequate supply of biodegradable organic matter to support microbial growth and biomass development. When wastewater contains insufficient organic carbon, treatment systems may struggle to maintain the conditions required for consistent biological performance. NutriServe BOD Serve 100 provides supplemental BOD and carbon to address this limitation and is designed as an alternative to conventional sources such as starch, jaggery and methanol for specified applications.

Key Benefits of NutriServe BOD Serve 100

NutriServe BOD Serve 100 supports biological treatment through supplemental carbon availability.

  • Reduced Commissioning Time: Helps reduce commissioning time for ETPs and STPs.

  • Consistent BOD Supply: Provides supplementary BOD to support bacterial growth.

  • Biomass Development: Supports MLSS and MLVSS growth.

  • Improved BOD-to-COD Ratio: Helps improve the balance between biodegradable organic matter and total organic load.

  • Shock-Load Stabilisation: Supports biological treatment during variations in wastewater loading.

  • Methanol Alternative: Offers a non-flammable alternative to methanol in the denitrification process, as specified in the brochure.

How NutriServe BOD Serve 100 Works

NutriServe BOD Serve 100 is a liquid carbon source based on complex polysaccharides. It supplements the available organic carbon in wastewater where additional BOD is required to support biological treatment processes.

Applications of NutriServe BOD Serve 100

NutriServe BOD Serve 100 is designed for wastewater treatment applications requiring supplementary BOD and carbon.

  • ETP Commissioning: Supports bacterial growth and biomass development during plant start-up.

  • STP Commissioning: Helps supplement the organic load required for biological treatment establishment.

  • Routine Wastewater Treatment: Provides additional BOD where inherent organic content is insufficient.

  • Biomass Development: Supports MLSS and MLVSS growth.

  • Denitrification: Provides a non-flammable alternative to methanol for the specified denitrification application.

  • Shock-Load Management: Supports biological treatment stability under changing wastewater loads.

Carbon Supplementation for Denitrification

Biological denitrification requires an available carbon source to support the microbial processes involved in nitrate reduction. When wastewater lacks sufficient biodegradable carbon, an external carbon source may be needed to support the process.


NutriServe BOD Serve 100 can be considered for denitrification applications where supplementary carbon is required. The appropriate dosage depends on the nitrate load, wastewater characteristics and treatment system requirements.

Dosage and Usage

BOD and COD Contribution: 1kg of product contributes approximately 1 kg of BOD and 1 kg of COD.


The required dosage depends on wastewater characteristics, existing organic load and treatment objectives. Contact our technical team for guidance on the recommended application rate and dosing procedure for your wastewater treatment system.

Maintaining Carbon Availability During Biological Treatment

Carbon availability can influence the performance of biological wastewater treatment, particularly when the incoming wastewater has an insufficient BOD load. In such conditions, supplementary carbon may be required to support microbial activity and maintain the organic loading needed by the treatment process.


NutriServe BOD Serve 100 provides an additional carbon source for applications where wastewater requires BOD supplementation. Its use can be evaluated during plant commissioning and routine operation based on the available BOD, COD levels and process requirements.
