BZT Waste Digester vs. Filamentous Bacteria - Pt. 1
We have received some questions concerning the efficacy of our products relating to wastewater, in particular BZT’s role in dealing with filamentous bacteria. This is one of two Treatment Summaries I am posting to provide an understanding of how BZT Waste Digester works to reduce or eliminate this issue. (Bruce)
Odor & Sludge Reduction - Wastewater Treatment Rendering Facility - BZT® Waste Digester
The Situation
A major rendering facility was experiencing problems with its Wastewater Treatment Plant because of high influent loading during the summer season. Odor from the plant was headlined in news articles and foaming attributed to filamentous bacteria, which plugged pumps and decreased the plant's efficiency.
The Solution
United-Tech proposed a bioaugmentation program that consisted of the addition of BZT® Waste Digester to the system. It was proposed that an initial seed application be performed followed by regular weekly maintenance applications. The treatment program was designed to:
• Reduce solids
• Enhance Stability
• Reduce/eliminate odor
• Breakdown H2S
• Reduce the total overall sludge volume
• Increase plant capacity and efficiency
• Increase plant ability to handle upsets and shocks
The Results
Within one month, solids were reduced by up to 20%. The odors had all but disappeared. The foaming and filamentous problems were greatly reduced after two months, and eliminated after three months. The program provided positive payback within three months, attributed to:
• Reduction in hauling costs
• Reduction in polymer usage
• Elimination of chlorine
The program has demonstrated the broad ranging effects of BZT® Waste Digester and its ability to reduce the odor in the surrounding community and save thousands of dollars.

August Specials
To celebrate summer, we are offering the following shopping cart discounts for August:
Also, since we are having a record summer, we advise you to check your plumbing for leaks. Turn off your main valve. If the meter is still spinning, you likely have a leak somewhere. Check the floor and walls around toilets for soft spots that could indicate water damage. Also, be sure to clear out any debris from your guttering, as this can clog drainpipes and cause water to seep into the roof.
If you are planning to build a septic system, either DIY or contracted, you can begin seeding your tank and drainlines with BZT® DRAIN & SEPTIC from the start. Our all-natural formula contains beneficial bacteria and digestive enzymes to keep your system running smooth. Less pumping, less headaches, and no odor are the reasons we invented it. Reduce your dependance on harmful, corrosive chemical treatment today. And remember, we offer FREE Technical Support to all of our customers, including custom treatment protocols and consultation.
- 50% off BZT® AQUA 4U! Normally 19.95.
- Buy One BZT® DRAIN & SEPTIC, Get One Free while supplies last. The free pack will be included in your shipment but will not be reflected on the shopping cart receipt.

Pulp/Paper Sludge Waste Treatment
Manufacturing paper products comes with hefty cleanup responsibilities, typically resulting in either routine, expensive dredging of settling ponds, or relatively inexpensive bioaugmentation using beneficial bacteria and enzymes to do the dirty cleanup work.
United-Tech provides sound, environmentally responsible solutions to waste control issues. That said, we also like to save money for our customers.
(Before Treatment)
Case in point: A wallboard manufacturer faced routine dredging of two settling ponds. Each event carried a hefty price tag of well over $1 million dollars per year. Heavy paper/pulp sludge build-up also strained their regulatory discharge limits, leaving the settling ponds at risk.
United-Tech developed a custom bioaugmentation program using BZT® Waste Digester. Seed and maintenance doses were applied regularly, and data was collected and continuously monitored. By the end of the program (less than a year), sludge volumes not only decreased, but also one of the ponds stood empty and continued to serve as a standby pond.
From start to finish, the company went from utilizing two settling ponds, plus a large finishing lagoon, to operating only one pond and having a backup pond. Also, the effluent remained cleaner than the historical flow.
Summary: Success exceeding expectations. This is what we achieve at United-Tech.
