Bioaugmentation

Biological Wastewater Products

Data from healthy wastewater plants have allowed Aster Bio to develop advanced biomass management programs tailored to your system. Our products are concentrated, naturally occurring microbial blends designed to restore your biomass to a more desirable or healthier state.

Rigorously developed using both traditional microbiological techniques and the latest in DNA bioprospecting, our products are blends of growth organisms that restore biomass activity in the most rapid manner possible. Available in powdered and liquid formulations.

Common Challenges

Problems we see & solve

Our bioaugmentation products address the most common biological treatment challenges across industrial and municipal systems.

Ammonia/nitrate trend chart showing nitrification loss and effluent ammonia breakthrough

Nitrification loss

Restore and maintain ammonia-oxidizing and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria populations to meet nitrogen limits.

Micrograph showing filamentous organisms overrunning activated sludge floc

Filamentous bulking

Address both filamentous and non-filamentous sludge bulking that leads to poor settling and clarifier issues.

Polymer dosing pump representing excess chemical use

Excess chemical use

Reduce dependency on polymers and antifoam by enhancing natural floc formation and biological treatment capacity.

Gas sampling at a manhole representing odor and H₂S control

Odor & H₂S

Control hydrogen sulfide and reduced sulfide compounds in wastewater, scrubbers, and collection systems.

Environmental Genomics™

Products informed by DNA-level diagnostics

Aster Bio's unique Environmental Genomics™ testing enables deep microbial understanding and provides insight into the impact of slight changes on biomass treatment. A microbial community can respond quickly to changes in influent composition or operating conditions — making effective operational decisions requires quick reporting.

Our bioaugmentation products aren't generic off-the-shelf blends. They're developed using data from healthy wastewater plants and refined through DNA bioprospecting to include the specific organisms your system needs. When you combine our diagnostics with our products, you get a closed-loop system for biomass management.
