What is Bio-culture? How is it used for sewage treatment?

Bio-culture is defined as a specially formulated blend of robust microorganisms, macro and micronutrients, and bacteria that can grow at a variety of temperatures.


A method of preparing a Bio-culture for sewage treatment includes the steps of supplying an aerated material derived from an aeration tank to a bioreactor and cultivating microorganisms present in the aerated material by adding a culture with a relatively long preservation time and a large number of effective microorganisms.

Bacterial Culture For Wastewater Treatment

What exactly is a Microbial culture?

A Bio-culture for sewage treatment is a microbe that is added to the aeration tank to promote material breakdown and lower BOD, COD, and SS concentrations.

Both a solid and a liquid formulation of Bioculture for sewage treatment are available.

  • Enrichment culturing a microbe, inoculating the microorganism into a cereal medium, growing, hot-drying, and crushing are all methods that can be used to create a solid type microbial culture for wastewater treatment. Growing an inoculum in a liquid medium, freezing the cultured material, and then combining it with rice straw, rice bran, sawdust, fallen leaves, or cereal can also result in a solid-type microbial culture.

  • A solid-type Microbial culture can also be created by growing an inoculum in a liquid medium, mixing in a surfactant, and spray-drying the cultured material.

  • A liquid-type Microbial Bio-culture for sewage treatment can be created by enrichment culturing a microorganism in a liquid medium and adding a silicon oil and nonionic surfactant to the liquid medium.


Wastewater treatment using Bio-culture

The medium of Bio-culture for sewage treatment is a carefully prepared combination of microorganisms, macro/micronutrients, and bacteria that can thrive at temperatures ranging from 5 to 55 degrees Celsius. As soon as these beneficial bacterias enter a septic system, they begin secreting enzymes that break down and disintegrate feces, urine, toilet paper, grease, fats, food scraps, detergents, and other organic wastes. These environmentally friendly bacteria multiply rapidly and colonize the septic system, restoring its biological health and efficiency.


Some advantages of using Bio-culture include the following: 

  1. Improves recovery time after disturbances by lowering BOD, COD, and SS in industrial wastewater treatment effluent;

  2. Improves waste decomposition of specific target substances;

  3. Organic acid oxidation improves odor control;

  4. Removes Hydrogen Sulfide gas and its odor;

  5. Reduces the efficiency of nitrate and ammonia;

  6. Changes in Biomass Dynamics;

  7. Promotes the formation of flocs;

  8. Increases MLSS.


To summarize 

One of the primary characteristics of Bio-culture for wastewater treatment is that it can be used in place of physical methods. It does not affect the volume of water or the level of organic matter in wastewater, but it does affect its quality. The primary application of Bio-culture, however, is to promote the decomposition and liquefaction of organic matter in wastewater. Bio-culture also selectively degrades various pollutants and pollutants at various concentration intervals.
