BK WWT

Effective Waste Water Treatments

Increasing environmental legislation means that more plants are closely monitoring effluent discharges, and take closer care of internal waste water treatment systems. BK WWT microbes are designed for natural bio-augmentation in activated sludge, biodisc, trickle filters and other popular waste water treatment systems.


BK WWT Microbes are specially selected by Scotmas to boost the natural microbe population in your plant. Scotmas select specific strains of microbe according to your site requirements – including temperature, pH and size considerations. In the case of processing plants, our products contain a high proportion of grease and fat digesting microbes that will help to break down materials associated with high BOD in effluent.

BK WWT Microbes can be manually applied during plant start up, or as a reseeding dose after “toxic shock” or cold weather destroys the efficiency of the natural microbes in the system. Plants that struggle to comply with discharge consent levels often use BK WWT Microbes in conjunction with one of our automatic dosing systems to provide continuous bio-augmentation in order to improve efficiency. This process ensures that the right microbes are always present in the system, and can assist in reducing discharge levels, and make substantial savings on your effluent costs.

For plants running normally, but facing particular problems in a single aspect of effluent (e.g. High BOD or Suspended Solids), our microbiologists can advise on a specific program that will assist in bringing the plant back into compliance. We currently work with a number of consultants who will be able to provide a tailored program of on-site assistance should this become necessary.

The efficiency of any waste water treatment system is affected by high concentrations of toxic biocides, detergents and soaps in the waste water stream. The Scotmas range of biocides and sanitising products have been specifically designed to limit the effect on downstream waste water treatments, and do not produce chlorinated organics and other compounds that are difficult to biodegrade. Scotmas hygiene products are the ideal partner to ensure excellent efficiency in your waste water treatment plant
