58% Total Solids Reduction in 8MG Lagoon
Solids build-up in this open anaerobic lagoon in Tennessee was hampering operations at a large US industrial food waste rendering plant. In just four months, a single application of Bio Dredger biocatalyst broke down solids, with samplings analysis showing 58% Total Solid Reduction (TSR) and 60% Volatile Solid Reduction. Drylet treated this anaerobic lagoon with Drylet’s Bio Dredger biocatalyst for solids
