Bioaugmentation Wastewater Treatment in Municipal WWTP – Case Study

This study introduces bioaugmentation, an advanced wastewater treatment method that involves adding specifically chosen bacteria to enhance the natural breakdown of organic pollutants. It targets facilities struggling with low capacity or poor efficiency, offering a way to lower critical environmental indicators such as chemical and biological oxygen demand. By utilizing specialized products like the "Biodigestor," the system effectively tackles difficult waste materials, including oils, fats, and thick foams. A practical case study within a municipal setting demonstrates how this biological intervention transforms contaminated effluents into cleaner water by restoring the system's processing power.
