Storms and natural disasters can compromise wastewater treatment systems due to flooding, infrastructure damage and biological process disruption, leaving many communities struggling for clean water.
Bioaugmentation — the process of introducing microorganisms that can degrade contaminants — offers a solution, empowering these plants to get back online quickly, restore their treatment efficiency and meet environmental compliance standards.
Enables rapid recovery. Bioaugmentation is a fast, effective way to help wastewater treatment systems recover from storm-related disruptions. The addition of specialized microbial strains immediately restores biological activity, reducing downtime and preventing further environmental impact.
Offers a resilient solution to combat flood damage. These microbes can thrive in challenging post-storm conditions, such as high-water volumes and fluctuating organic loads. By degrading contaminants, they address the effects of flooding like diluted wastewater, overwhelmed systems and lost microbial populations.
Enables compliance with standards. Maintaining compliance with environmental regulations is critical — even in the wake of storms and natural disasters. Bioaugmentation is a reliable way to meet effluent quality standards while preventing untreated wastewater from harming local ecosystems.
