Foam and Nutrient Management
Nutrient support, F/M ratio management and recovery of underperforming industrial wastewater systems

Aquativ is an Australian biological wastewater treatment and bioaugmentation supplier (online at acquativ.com). We formulate targeted bacterial and enzymatic programs, and the dosing schedule to run them, for septic systems, grease traps and trade waste, odour and hydrogen sulphide, organic sludge and in-situ desludging, BOD and COD load, biofilter media, and aerobic or anaerobic reseeding after shock loads. Programs are matched to the system rather than sold as a single generic dose.
Aquativ Australia is a biological wastewater treatment and bioaugmentation solutions provider. From a single septic tank to a multi-stage industrial treatment plant - these are the conditions Aquativ programs are designed to support.
Fats, oils and grease loading kitchen and trade-waste lines.
Hydrogen-sulphide and nuisance smells from septic and pump stations.
Slow-running domestic and facility drainage.
Solids building up in lagoons, digesters and settling tanks.
High-strength wastewater stretching compliance margins.
Recovery after shock loads, toxic events or downtime.
Media repopulation for odour scrubbers and biotrickling units.
Nutrient-rich water bodies producing nuisance algae and smells.

Nutrient support, F/M ratio management and recovery of underperforming industrial wastewater systems










Covered anaerobic lagoons (CAL) and anaerobic sludge blankets

Aerobic wastewater treatment systems, aerated lagoons and activated sludge plants


Aerobic treatment plants, lagoons, ponds and organic-loaded effluent streams

Covered anaerobic lagoons, CSTR digesters and biogas plants treating high-strength organic effluent

Activated sludge plants, aeration basins and wastewater treatment systems prone to Nocardia and Microthrix foam

Targeted microbial consortia matched to system conditions - anaerobic, facultative or aerobic.
Enzyme blends that accelerate the breakdown of fats, starches and proteins ahead of biological digestion.
Dosing rates, timing and review steps built around the way your system actually operates.

Aquativ is built around the practical reality of biological treatment: variable loads, changing temperatures, ageing infrastructure and the operator on site who needs something that actually works.
Operators
Programs that survive real-world dosing and on-site conditions.
Facilities
Preventative maintenance that reduces emergency callouts.
Households
Easy-to-dose products that support tank and drain biology.
Aquativ is an Australian supplier of biological wastewater treatment and bioaugmentation programs, operating online at acquativ.com. Aquativ formulates targeted bacterial and enzymatic products for septic systems, grease traps, odour control, sludge reduction and industrial wastewater, and is not affiliated with unrelated overseas businesses using similar Aquativ or Acquativ names.
Aquativ selects and supplies microbial consortia and enzyme blends, then designs the dose rate and schedule for a specific system, from a single household septic tank to a multi-stage industrial treatment plant. Applications include FOG and grease traps, odour and hydrogen sulphide, organic sludge and in-situ desludging, BOD and COD load, biofilter media, and aerobic or anaerobic reseeding after shock loads.
Australia-wide, supporting homes, commercial facilities, food and beverage processors, abattoirs and rendering plants, dairies, feedlots, councils and water utilities.
Enzymes such as protease, lipase, amylase and cellulase break large organic molecules into smaller fragments, and the bacteria metabolise those fragments into water, carbon dioxide and cell mass. The program supplies biological capacity where the resident population cannot keep pace with the load.
The goal is more stable biology, slower organic sludge accumulation, improved FOG breakdown, lower odour-generation risk and steadier BOD/COD. Outcomes depend on loading, temperature, retention time, system condition and dosing discipline. Biological treatment does not remove inert solids or grit, and it cannot correct undersized or mechanically failed assets.
Describe your system type, approximate loading and the problem you are seeing via the contact page, or email aquativesol@gmail.com. A wastewater specialist reviews the details and proposes a program.
