Waste Water Treatment Systems

Organic material decomposition in waste streams is often associated with putrefaction and the generation of unpleasant odours. However, these undesirable effects of the decomposition process can be substantially mitigated by implementing a MacroBoost odour-control program.

Our Aquaboost formulations integrate a sophisticated mixed culture of low-temperature fermentation organisms. The organic acids generated by these cultures efficiently break down the substances responsible for causing odours.

Odour Control Programs

MacroBoost is successfully controlling odours in a range of  commercial and domestic environments, from waste-water treatment plants to poultry and livestock production as well as composting, septic tanks and pet keeping.

In situations where smells are constantly produced, more than a “quick spray” is needed to control odour. MacroBoost technicians work with you to develop a spray, misting or dosing program to suit your needs, providing you with the materials, equipment and training that will enable you to manage odours at your facility.

You can contract us on a short or long-term basis to carry out the work for you, or we can train you and your staff to carry out your own effective odour-control and management.

Sludge Breakdown

We offer tailor-made programs for the treatment of sludge in waste streams. Our systems are specially designed to integrate into existing infrastructure with minimal disruption. Our programs can:

• Reduce sludge
• Improve sludge settlement – Sludge Volume Index (SVI)
• Enhance biological stability in the sludge
• Reduce odour
• Increase dissolved oxygen in the water column
• Improve water quality
• Enhance nutrient breakdown, preventing negative effects of microbial imbalances in pipes and collection networks

Settlement Pond Treatment

Waste water collection ponds and dams present a unique set of circumstances for treatment. Commonly, where a pond has been in operation for a period, microbial pathways may be limited by the levels of nutrients and the lack of complexity in the microbial populations.

MacroBoost technicians can work with you to develop a spray, misting or dosing program to boost the efficiency of nutrient breakdown without negative byproducts, allowing for quality water reuse or discharge into waterways.

Composting and Solid Waste Treatment

Conventional composting involves the aerobic conversion of raw materials, where organic substances oxidise and a large part of the valuable contents can be lost to the atmosphere. MacroBoost Fermentation Boosters promote anaerobic fermentation, reducing the loss of nutrients through oxidation and the emission of carbon into the atmosphere.

Fermentation compost benefits include:

• Cost and labour savings though reduced turning
• Retaining of nutrients (nitrogen and carbon)
• Faster maturation time
• Odour reduction
• High quality, biologically active compost
• Composting from sewage sludge and more toxic materials possible without the negative byproducts
