Application of Selected Microbial Formulations for Enhancing BOD Removal and Residence Time Studies, 1992 Environmental Conference Proceedings

The pulp and paper industry is faced with vast amounts of capital expenditure due to impending tighter legislation. Biotechnology could provide a revenue-based solution. Studies were conducted to evaluate the potential use of commercially available microbial formulations to enhance BOD removal and to act as tracers in biological treatment systems in order to determine the hydraulic residence time. The microbial formulations were fed to two single pass aeration basins treating a waste water discharged from a 100% recycled newsprint mill. Formulation A was chosen for the ability to withstand toxic shocks and degrade starches. For the tracer study a spore suspension (Formulation B) was used because the spores produced unique orange colonies when grown on a special media (Media A).
