Microbial Solutions for Purifying Municipal & Industrial Wastewater
Population growth and industrialization have affected the balance of nature. Unchecked, vast amounts of waste can overwhelm the environment. Using the right combination of microbes, Micro-Bac® has developed synergistic ecosystems to handle a multitude of organic wastes from food, humans, animals and plants.
In 1981, Micro-Bac® conducted its first commercial application, the biotreatment of a 75-acre municipal sludge oxidation pond. This successful application led to further research on useful metabolic activities and byproducts of naturally occurring microorganisms.
In large wastewater systems, ponds and lagoons, Micro-Bac® (our namesake product) improves operating efficiency by reducing sludge and grease, alleviating shock-loading problems, and controlling odor. In septic systems, Micro-Bac® prevents back-up and drain field clogging.
Food processors (breweries, distilleries, meat, poultry, dairy, oil, and grain) use USDA-approved Mega-Bac™ products to maintain efficient activity in treatment systems and waste lagoons and to control odor. At food service facilities and restaurants, Mega-Bac® products control odor and prevent problems in grease traps, pipes, and drain lines. For use at dairy plants, Lacto-Bac™ was developed to degrade substances specific to milk-derived wastes, such as fat, oil, carbohydrates and protein.

"We tried other products to address our BOD, COD and TSS to meet environmental discharge standards, and Micro-Bac's product was the only one that did the job." Gwen Conley, Quality Assurance/Sensory Manager, Flying Dog Brewery, winner of three gold medals and Best Mid-Size Brewery at the Great American Beer Festival 2009.
In the livestock industry, the bacteria control ammonia odors in waste collection systems.This can reduce respiratory disease and high
mortality among newborn livestock, as well as improve working conditions and relations with the surrounding community. Treatment also liquefies waste and reduces the risk of blockages.
In controlling environmental waste, each situation is unique. Therefore, special attention is given to the specific needs of each application. Micro-Bac International, Inc.® stands behind its products with technical support and services. All products meet or exceed government regulations and require no special clothing or equipment for handling.
