Mega-Bac B
Technical Data
Mega-Bac B™
Biological Waste Digestent
General Description
Mega-Bac B® is a proprietary combination of biologicals and biochemicals used to
accelerate biodegradation of wastes generated through brewing and fermentation
processes. Two versions of this product were developed specifically for treatment of
waste streams at breweries and wineries.
Mega-Bac B1® was developed for use in aerobic waste streams, and Mega-Bac B2®
was developed for use in anaerobic waste streams. The metabolic processes of these
products produce enzymes that break down wastes, thereby reducing the important
wastewater parameters of BOD, COD and TSS, with undiminished activity in the presence
of alcohols, extracts of yeast and hops, and low concentrations of nitrogen
and phosphate. Mega-Bac B1® and B2® both come as ready-to-use liquid formulations.
Mega-Bac B® includes multiple strains of facultative
bacteria. These bacteria remain active
in aerobic or anaerobic conditions.
