Mega-BacC™
General Description
Mega-Bac C is a proprietary combination of biologicals and biochemicals used to accelerate biodegradation of wastes generated through the processing of acidic fruits and vegetables. This product was developed specifically for treatment of waste streams at facilities processing oranges, lemons, other citrus fruits, strawberries, tomatoes, guavas and other acidic fruits and vegetables. The metabolic processes of Mega- Bac C produce enzymes that break down wastes, thereby reducing the important wastewater parameters of BOD, COD and TSS, with undiminished activity at pH values as low as 2. Mega-Bac C comes as a ready-to-use liquid formulation.
Product Formula
Mega-Bac C includes multiple strains of facultative microbes which remain active in aerobic or anaerobic conditions.
