WWTP Bacteria and Biological Nutrients | Beta Pramesti
BETAGARD WWTP bacteria and biological nutrients for bioaugmentation, organic breakdown, and grease traps, selected from process data with Beta Pramesti.
Short Answer
WWTP bacteria and biological nutrients should be evaluated when active biomass is weak, organic loading has changed, or a grease-management process needs support. They do not replace control of pH, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, sludge age, or toxicity. PT Beta Pramesti Asia, operating at beta.co.id in Indonesia, supplies BETAGARD biological programmes based on plant data and a measured field trial.
This range includes BETAGARD 5300 and 5310 for biological-treatment support, BETAGARD 5330 bacterial culture for bioaugmentation, and BETAGARD 5350 for grease traps. The U.S. EPA aerobic biological wastewater process-control manual emphasises loading, laboratory data, and process response. Product selection should therefore follow diagnosis of the operating problem.
When Should a Biological Additive Be Evaluated?
| Plant condition | Evidence to check | Evaluation path |
|---|---|---|
| Effluent COD or BOD is rising | Influent load, pH, DO, temperature, sludge age, and possible toxic compounds | Stabilise the process first, then assess BETAGARD 5300 or 5310 support. |
| Biomass is weak after start-up or shock loading | MLSS/MLVSS, settleability, microscopy, RAS/WAS flow, and effluent trend | Assess a BETAGARD 5330 bioaugmentation trial with a defined baseline and endpoint. |
| Oil and grease accumulate in a grease trap | Peak flow, trap volume, pump-out interval, temperature, and FOG source | Assess BETAGARD 5350 alongside housekeeping and pump-out correction. |
| Sludge bulks, foams, or settles poorly | SVI, DO, F/M, nutrients, filaments, pH, and loading change | Diagnose the process; do not add culture from the visual symptom alone. |
BETAGARD Products for Biological Systems
BETAGARD 5300
Enzyme Bacteria for Wastewater Treatment Plant
BETAGARD 5300 is a liquid formulation for supporting organic-load breakdown in industrial, domestic, and hospital wastewater treatment. Suitability should be checked against actual temperature, pH, aeration, COD/BOD loading, and biomass condition.
Product Advantages
- Reduces COD and BOD in waste effectively.
- Accelerates the decomposition process of organic matter in waste.
- Supports more efficient treatment of solid and liquid waste.
- Can be evaluated for biological systems after process compatibility is checked.
Technical Specifications
| Product | Appearance | pH | Organic Substance | Applications | Handling and Storage | Packaging |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BETAGARD 5300 | Brown liquid | 3.0 - 5.0 | Up to 70% | Treatment of industrial wastewater, households, and STP installations. The dosage for industrial wastewater treatment is 10-30 g/m³. | Store in a cool place with temperature between 15-25°C. Avoid direct contact with eyes and skin. | Available in 30 kg, 300 kg, and 1000 kg IBC drums. |
BETAGARD 5310
Enzyme Bacteria for Wastewater Treatment Plant
BETAGARD 5310 is a liquid formulation for supporting organic-load breakdown in a WWTP. Dose evaluation should use plant response rather than copying a schedule from a facility with different wastewater characteristics.
Product Advantages
- Reduces COD and BOD in waste effectively.
- Accelerates the decomposition process of organic matter in waste.
- Supports more efficient treatment of solid and liquid waste.
- Can be evaluated for biological systems after process compatibility is checked.

The dosage for industrial wastewater treatment is 10-30 g/m³. | Store in a cool place with temperature between 15-25°C. Avoid direct contact with eyes and skin. | Available in 30 kg, 300 kg, and 1000 kg IBC drums. |
BETAGARD 5330
Bacterial Cultures
BETAGARD 5330 is a microorganism consortium for bioaugmentation evaluation in organic-waste treatment. A trial should define the baseline, effluent target, duration, and controlled operating variables so that a response is not confused with a change in loading or aeration.
Product Advantages
- Accelerates the decomposition process of organic matter in waste.
- Supports a controlled bioaugmentation evaluation for difficult organic loading.

BETAGARD 5350
Grease Trap
BETAGARD 5350 is a specialized solution designed to accelerate the natural degradation process of oil and grease in grease traps. Often, new accumulations of oil and grease exceed the speed of natural degradation, leading to the need for periodic pumping. BETAGARD 5350 helps to accelerate this process, reduce odors and maintain the effectiveness of the grease trap especially during overflows.
Product Advantages
- Accelerates the natural degradation process of oil and grease in the grease trap.
- Reduces the need for periodic pumping.
- Reduces odors caused by oil and grease build-up.
- Easy to use with customized dosage for various tank sizes.
- Can be applied at a rate matched to grease-trap volume and loading.
Technical Specifications
| Product | Tank Size or Peak Flow Rate | Week 1 (Inoculation) | Week 2, 3 & 4 | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BETAGARD 5350 | < 5 m³ (< 1,500 gallons) | 1 gallon | 1 quart per week | 1 quart per month |
| 5 m³ to 20 m³ (1,500 - 5,000 gallons) | 2 gallons | 2 quarts per week | 2 quarts per month | |
| > 20 m³ (> 5,000 gallons) | 1 gallon per 10 m³ | 1 quart per week per every 10 m³ | 1 quart per month per every 10 m³ |
WWTP Bacteria and Nutrient FAQ
Does adding bacteria automatically reduce COD and BOD?
No result should be assumed. Performance depends on biodegradability, aeration, pH, nutrient balance, sludge age, and inhibitory compounds. Establish a baseline and compare before-and-after trends under comparable loads.
When is bioaugmentation more relevant than nutrient addition?
Bioaugmentation is assessed when the process may need microbial-population or degradation-function support. Nutrient addition is assessed when a biomass balance shows a supporting-element deficiency. Neither replaces correction of aeration, equalisation, or toxicity.
What data are needed for product selection?
Provide the process flow, flow rate, influent and effluent COD/BOD, pH, temperature, DO, MLSS/MLVSS, SVI, sludge age, RAS/WAS, ammonia, phosphate, oil and grease, and shock-load history. See the wastewater chemical programme and sludge treatment pages for adjacent decisions.
