Reduce dredging costs and improve wastewater lagoon capacity
BioSpikes® 5000 offer a new way to minimize settled sludge volume and reduce handling costs in wastewater lagoons.
Reduce dredging costs and improve wastewater lagoon capacity
The biological alternative to dredging lagoons
High sludge levels are a source of great concern in many municipal and industrial wastewater treatment lagoon operations. The increasing sludge levels do not only impact treatment capacity, but more notably the need for dredging. Lagoon dredging is not just a cumbersome process it is also a costly operation.
To overcome this challenge, Novozymes has developed the biological alternative to dredging lagoons: BioSpikes® 5000.
BioSpikes® 5000 work as the better alternative to free up lagoon capacity, save energy and reduce the cost of dredging.
How it works?
How it works?
BioSpikes® 5000 are formed as dense spikes that rapidly sink to the bottom of a lagoon, even when applied at the water's surface. When the spikes reach the sludge layer, they release billions of microorganisms, fast-acting enzymes, and essential micronutrients directly into sludge.
This combination ensures rapid stimulation of biological activity that minimizes the sludge layer by making the sludge more compact. This reduces the dredging frequency, increases hydraulic retention time, and improves overall performance.

It's not entirely our own testimonials: BioSpikes® are tested and proven in full scale.
A municipality increased their wastewater operating lagoon capacity from 9% to 35% - by adding Novozymes BioSpikes®. The increased capacity deferred a $600,000 planned dredging project.
