Chemical - Phenols Degradation

Product Code: BCP95 - Chemical-Phenols Degradation

BCP95 is a synergistic blend of selectively adapted bacteria for application to wastewater containing phenol and related aromatic compounds such as cumene, catechol and cresol. Applicable processes include steel coking, coal conversion, petroleum cracking, plastic resins and pharmaceuticals.

The susceptibility of a biomass to upset depends primarily on the magnitude of change in phenol concentration. Augmentation with strains capable of uninhibited growth at high phenol concentrations can provide the following benefits to wastewater systems:

Specific Benefits

  • Recover rapidly from toxic shocks caused by phenol and related compounds.
  • Prevent poor removal efficiencies; disrupted flocculation, or general plant upsets that result from variable phenolic loadings.
  • Reduce the inhibitory effects of phenol by increasing the growth rates and viability of phenol-degrading biomass.
  • Degrade various halo-substituted aromatics such as bromo and chlorophenols.
