What is Municipal Waste Water Treatment?
Municipal wastewater treatment involves the use of physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove contaminants from wastewater before it is discharged into the environment. Microorganisms are key players in the biological processes used in wastewater treatment, helping to break down organic matter and remove nutrients from the wastewater.
Here are some of the ways that beneficial microbiology can support municipal wastewater treatment:
Aerobic & Anaerobic Digestion
Microorganisms are used in both aerobic and anaerobic digestion processes to break down organic matter in wastewater. In aerobic digestion, microorganisms consume organic matter in the presence of oxygen, while in anaerobic digestion, microorganisms break down organic matter in the absence of oxygen. The resulting sludge can then be used as fertilizer or disposed of safely.
Nitrification & Denitrification
Microorganisms are also used to remove nitrogen from wastewater. In the nitrification process, ammonia is converted to nitrite and then to nitrate by different groups of bacteria. In the denitrification process, nitrate is converted back to nitrogen gas by another group of bacteria. These processes help to reduce the levels of nitrogen in the wastewater, which can be harmful to aquatic life.
Phosphorus Removal
Microorganisms can also help to remove phosphorus from wastewater. Certain types of bacteria can accumulate phosphorus in their cells, which can then be removed from the wastewater through sludge handling processes.
Overall, beneficial microbiology plays a crucial role in municipal wastewater treatment by breaking down organic matter, and removing contaminates. By improving the efficiency of these processes, microbiology can help to reduce the environmental impact of wastewater treatment and improve the sustainability of municipal water systems.
What is CR Foundation BR?
CR Foundation BR is a liquid product refined from a surface mined, natural material that is produced through a patented cold-water extraction process. The soil material is rich in natural humate compounds derived from organic matter consisting of natural beneficial soil constituents including Humic Acid, Folic Acid, Ulmic Acid, Lignin, 72 Trace Elements and high concentrations (in numbers and diversity) of Soil Biology. These essential life structural components are known to enhance biological performances, targeting the capture of odorous gaseous reactions and interrupting their subsequent corrosive byproducts.
