Optimize Water Quality with Bioaugmentation: MDG Webinar Recap

As experts in Bacillus, we’re dedicated to teaching our partners and potential customers about bioaugmentation and its benefits in the wastewater industry. Throughout the year, our microbiologists and technical support leads host webinars on a wide range of topics, from how to formulate quality microbial cleaning products to managing FOG in wastewater. Our most recent webinar, held on Monday, August 19, 2024, featured our Wastewater Technical Support Lead Josiah Menako speaking about strategies to improve TSS, COD, and BOD in wastewater. Keep reading for a recap and to find out how you can access the full webinar recording for free!

Webinar Recap

Menako began the webinar with a brief introduction to bioaugmentation, then dove into the specific variables of water quality: total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and biological oxygen demand (BOD). He explained that TSS can be either organic or inorganic depending on the wastewater application, and that the settling of TSS can cause capacity issues and add to COD/BOD in effluent water. Menako then went on to detail the relationship between COD and BOD.

The remainder of the webinar was dedicated to our Proven Success demonstrated through case study data. Our wastewater technical support team often goes into the field with our distribution partners to assist with situation assessment, treatment, and analysis of results. Here, Menako shared stories of four cases where bioaugmentation treatment was conducted to improve TSS, COD, and BOD. He covered data on improving digestion of soluble COD/BOD and reducing TSS in wastewater effluent, giving webinar attendees a well-rounded look at how Bacillus-based treatment is a strong choice for optimizing water quality.
