Additional Option – Bioaugmentation For Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Bioaugmentation or biological augmentation is the process of adding bacteria, nutrients, and/or bio-catalysts to benefit and enhance your existing bacterial population. Hawkins’ bio-augmentation products contain selected strains of micro-organisms, nutrients, and stimulants that break down organic pollutants.

Bioaugmentation can be used to address many problems found in wastewater treatment. Specifically, they break down FOG (fats, oils, grease) compounds and solids in wastewater vats. Our bioaugmentation products can even help limit foul odors within the municipal water treatment area.

Featured Product: Aqua Hawk® Struv EX

Don’t Let Struvite Clog Your Pipes

Introducing Aqua Hawk® Struv EX, an effective, versatile, high-performing, eco-friendly, organic acid that removes scale fast!

Aqua Hawk® Struv EX offers faster removal/cleaning times and is more efficacious than corrosive mineral acids, without the damaging corrosive effects.

Aqua Hawk® Struv EX– Your Solution to Struvite Problems

Struvite – A hard mineral scale which causes many process issues. Having struvite scale in a wastewater treatment system can lead to great inefficiency within the plant due to scale on lines and belts, in centrifuges and pumps, clogging of system pipes and other equipment including the anaerobic digester itself. Struvite is very hard and can be difficult to physically remove.

There have been a few physical options to solve this issue, such as replacing pipes or using a hydro-jet and mechanical grinder. However, many of the affected lines are underground, and these treatments are costly and lead to significant service interruptions.

Thanks to Aqua Hawk® Struv EX, chemical cleaning is now a viable, cost-effective option that removes struvite and prevents its formation without interrupting treatment processes.

Aqua Hawk® Struv EX also has the highest purity in the industry when compared to competitive MSA products, and offers significant benefits over conventional acids:

• Removes lime scale faster than other typical acids (e.g., phosphoric, sulfuric, and formic)
• Removes calcium oxalate as well as other calcium deposits, such as gypsum
• Improves rust and grime removal
• Exhibits low viscosity and low toxicity
• Is non-oxidizing and non-reducing
• Has high biodegradability
• Exhibits lower VOC (volatile organic compound) and lower TOC (total organic carbon)
• Is phosphate-free
