Toler-X™ 5100 – COD biodegradation in wastewater treatment systems in cold environments

Improves effluent quality and plant stability through enhanced COD biodegradation in cold environments

At low temperatures, industrial wastewater treatment plants often struggle to maintain efficient treatment. Biological activity and temperature are closely correlated. When the water temperature falls below 15 °C (60 °F), treatment can deteriorate, and staying in compliance can become a real challenge. In order to meet treatment goals, the microbial community must contain microorganisms that can function at low temperatures and target a wide range of organics. Lagoon systems are at greater risk because of the increased surface area and the lack of operational controls.

Toler-X™ 5100 helps plants to comply with their permits and improves plant efficiency at low temperatures. It contains a blend of psychrophilic (“cold-loving”) microorganisms and is active all the way down to 2 °C (36 °F). The strains in Toler-X 5100 have a wide range of organic biodegradation abilities and can be used at a wide range of industrial facilities.

The benefits of using Toler-X 5100:

Lower operating costs

  • Reduces permit violations
  • Reduces surcharges

Improved plant efficiency

  • Improves COD biodegradation at low temperatures

Simplified operations

  • Improves system stability at low temperatures
