Get your plant back to normal

Get your plant back to normal

As a response to the low commercial activity caused by COVID-19, several industrial wastewater treatment plants have either cut back or suspended operations completely.  

As things are slowly getting back to a normal state - at least in parts of the world - restarting your plant is necessary. But getting your plant back to normal operations after a longer period of interruption or low activity can be both complex and slow. A sudden increase in hydraulic or organic loading to the biological treatment can cause upsets like:

  • Loss of biomass
  • Settling issues
  • Increased sensitivity to toxic shocks 

Avoid expensive or permit-violating upsets, and take the necessary precautions with bioaugmentation. See below for more tips and tricks.

Has your plant been shut down for a longer period due to COVID-19? And are you planning a restart soon? Or perhaps you are already well underway in doing so?

Get 3 tips from our biological wastewater expert, Geoffroy Chantry, on how to avoid upsets and ensure a fast and problem-free start-up. 

In wastewater, 'normal is good'. 'Normal' means operations that are running as planned without any surprises. To prevent upsets and ensure a fast and problem-free start-up, follow these three tips for better stability in the start-up phase.   

If your biomass still needs a helping hand in adapting to the change in loading, our bioaugmentation solutions can be an effective way to avoid process upsets. Book a no-obligation meeting to learn more.
