Microbial Nutrients
Q-Biotech's microbial nutrient supplement is a customized formulation designed to maintain microbial activity and improve treatment efficiency, tailored to on-site wastewater conditions.
In wastewater treatment processes, microorganisms play crucial roles including organic matter decomposition, nitrification, and denitrification. Nutrient imbalances caused by changes in wastewater characteristics or loading can lead to reduced treatment efficiency. Q-Biotech addresses these issues by analyzing site conditions and optimizing the required minerals and nutrients to custom-manufacture microbial nutrient supplements.
Custom Nutrient Formulation
Microbial nutrients are designed considering the following factors:
- Organic matter and nitrogen characteristics of the wastewater
- Microbial activity status and balance
- Process conditions and operational methods
- Load fluctuations and abnormal operation history
Based on these factors, we adjust the minerals and essential nutrients required for microbial activity and supply formulations optimized for each site.
Flexible Application Through In-House Manufacturing
Q-BioTech has the capability to manufacture microbial nutrients in-house, enabling formulation changes and concentration adjustments based on site conditions rather than standardized product supply.
This enables stable microbial activity maintenance across various operating conditions, including new process commissioning, treatment efficiency decline periods, and sudden load changes.
Nitrification Promoter
Nitrogen treatment generally consists of two stages: nitrification and denitrification. Among these, the nitrification process is the most critical step for ensuring treatment stability. Nitrifying bacteria are sensitive to temperature changes, toxic substance influx, and load fluctuations, making them prone to activity decline or damage.
In particular, when water temperature drops in winter or toxic substances enter the process, nitrification does not proceed smoothly, frequently causing sharp declines in nitrogen treatment efficiency.
Technical Approach to Nitrification Stabilization
Q-BioTech's nitrification promoter is designed to stably maintain nitrifying bacteria activity even under adverse conditions. By improving the reaction environment of the nitrification process, it prevents nitrification decline and ensures continuity and stability of the nitrogen treatment process.
Customized Application Based on Site Conditions
Q-Biotech's nitrification promoter goes beyond simple chemical supply — it is applied after comprehensive review of site conditions.
- Influent nitrogen concentration and loading conditions
- Water temperature changes and seasonal effects
- Presence of toxic substances in the process
- Current nitrification process operating status
Based on this analysis, we calculate the required concentration and dosing conditions for customized application at each site.
Continuous Technical Support & Management
Even after nitrification promoter application, Q-BioTech continuously monitors process conditions and provides additional technical support and adjustment consulting when operating conditions change or treatment efficiency declines.
Organic Carbon Source
Q-Biotech's organic carbon source is a site-customized product designed to stably supply the carbon source required for denitrification in wastewater treatment processes. Proper organic carbon supply is a key factor for stable nitrogen treatment.
In denitrification processes, treatment efficiency may decline due to carbon deficiency in influent wastewater, changes in characteristics, or load fluctuations. Q-Biotech custom-manufactures and supplies organic carbon sources with formulations and concentrations tailored to site conditions, based on various organic carbon source materials and products.
Custom Carbon Source Design
The organic carbon source is designed with comprehensive consideration of the following factors.
- Denitrification process conditions and target nitrogen removal efficiency
- Influent wastewater characteristics and variability
- Microbial activity status within the process
- Existing chemical dosing conditions and equipment setup
Based on this, we blend multiple types of organic carbon source materials to derive formulations and concentrations suitable for each site.
Lab-Based Verification & Quality Control
Q-BioTech uses in-house bioreactors to verify not only the composition of organic carbon sources, but also how actual microorganisms respond to the carbon source.
- Confirmation of microbial activity response
- Toxicity and process impact assessment
- Treatment stability verification
Through such experiment-based verification and internal quality control (QC), we deliver only products with verified stability for field application.
Flexible Manufacturing Considering Regulations
Q-BioTech's organic carbon sources can be manufactured and delivered in forms that meet client requirements, taking into account hazardous/toxic substance regulations and on-site storage and handling conditions.
