Prolifoss STE is a powerful enzymatic and bacterial preparation that has been specially developed for the reactivation and maintenance of waste water treatment plants, (activated sludge systems, trickling filter systems) and lagoons (oxidation ponds), etc.
Prolifoss contains a balanced mixture of enzymes and bacteria. It is used for liquefying and breaking down faeces, cellulose, paper as well as protein-based and organic waste materials. Prolifoss creates a stable bacterial flora in the treated system and ensures smooth operation in the waste water treatment plants.
An irregular supply, disturbances in the aeration, various industrial pollutants or an increased infeed of chemical household products (acids, biocides, antibiotics, detergents, etc.) can adversely affect the bacterial balance. The formation of excessive sludge and foam can lead to blockages and impair proper functioning.
Brief information
Product form: Liquid
Ingredients: Apathogenic bacteria, enzymes (proteases, lipases, amylases, cellulases), nutrient salts, stabilisers
Package size: 25kg bidon (liquid)
Shelf life: 2 years
Enzymes break down the long molecular chains of the organic material. The decomposition products are then "aspirated" as gas (primarily CO2) by the microorganisms in the activated sludge tank and water. The microorganisms develop a stable flora and continue to maintain the reaction virtually independently.
Accelerates the decomposition of the waste water substances:
Prolifoss STE continuously supports and activates the functionality of waste water treatment plants. The active decomposition of waste water substances is accelerated and the biological and chemical oxygen demand in the effluent (BOD5 and COD) is reduced.
Accelerates the running-in of new and "tipped" waste water treatment plants
Prolifoss STE is suitable for the start-up of new waste water treatment plants as well as for restarting "tipped" biological systems due to the rapid build-up of a stable biocoenosis.
Shock loads are more easily tolerated
Prolifoss STE improves process stability over the long term. Seasonal shock loads are more easily tolerated.
Suppresses the formation of bulking sludge
Prolifoss STE cannot completely prevent the formation of filamentous organisms; however, it suppresses their growth and the associated formation of bulking sludge (increased sludge discharge).
Treated waste water for irrigation purposes
Waste water treated with Prolifoss STE can be used for irrigation purposes.
Non-corrosive
The natural components used in the Prolifoss STE product do not have any corrosive effects.
Environmentally friendly
The aerobic, non-pathogenic micro-organisms, enzymes, nutrients and carrier substances contained in the Prolifoss STE product are completely environmentally friendly.
In order for Prolifoss STE to be fully effective, the following conditions must be met prior to treatment in the biological part of the waste water treatment plant:
The fast development of a stable biocenosis by Prolifoss STE is facilitated if the sludge concentration (aeration tank) is reduced to 2–3g dry matter/litre during the initial treatment.
Prolifoss STE is supplied in liquid form and can be dosed manually or automatically. Ideally, a fully automatic dosing pump with timer function should be used. Prolifoss STE is pumped directly from the supplied bidon without any pretreatment and dosed into the inlet of the aeration tanks.
During the start-up phase of a system, the dosage must be doubled for four weeks. The same applies when restarting the system after a malfunction. In case of high loads, we recommend dividing the calculated quantity into 6 to 8 portions and filling them into the infeed of the aeration tanks at intervals of 3 to 4 hours or dosing them fully automatically using an automatic dosing machine.
If, in addition to the breakdown of carbohydrates and proteins (e.g. cellulose, potato starch, etc.), problems with grease and fat deposits also occur in the waste water treatment plant, we recommend mixing Prolifoss STE with suitable quantities of Prolibac. (Prolibac is a variant of Prolifoss STE with bacteria specifically designed for fat breakdown. The documentation for this is available separately).
The total dosage remains unchanged. The mixing ratio of Prolifoss STE to Prolibac depends on the load and the protein/carbohydrate/grease ratio. The Prolifoss STE and Prolibac products can be mixed in any ratio.
