Meat processor cuts FOG and BOD in lagoon system with MICROBE-LIFT®/IND — no chemical treatment required.
Meat processing facility — archived partner study · USA · 10 March 2024
The challenge
High FOG and BOD loading from the production line was overwhelming the existing lagoon biology. Chemical costs were escalating and effluent quality was inconsistent.
The approach
MICROBE-LIFT®/IND bioaugmentation programme applied to the lagoon system, replacing chemical dosing with biological treatment under Ecological Laboratories’ field methodology.
Results

Lagoon maintenance
Another documented programme from our manufacturing partner showing that biology can replace chemicals in high-strength industrial applications. The same IND formulation is available from Eco Balance Ltd for food processing facilities across the UK and Ireland.
