Pseudomonas fluorescens – Industrial-Grade Bioaugmentation Culture for Wastewater Treatment (25 kg Drum)

Pseudomonas fluorescens is a scientifically proven, high-efficiency bioaugmentation culture specifically formulated for industrial and municipal wastewater treatment applications. This 25 kg drum packaging is designed for ETP operators, STP managers, and industrial environmental engineers seeking a reliable, eco-friendly biological solution to meet stringent discharge norms.

Derived from naturally occurring, non-pathogenic soil bacteria, Pseudomonas fluorescens is renowned for its exceptional metabolic versatility and ability to degrade a wide spectrum of pollutants under aerobic conditions . Unlike chemical treatments, this biological approach offers sustainable, cost-effective remediation without secondary pollution.

Key Treatment Capabilities

1. Complete Nitrogen Removal
Pseudomonas fluorescens strain 2P24 demonstrates exceptional nitrogen removal performance:

• Ammonium removal: 97.63% within 48 hours (initial concentration 100 mg/L) 

• Nitrate removal: 100% removal efficiency 

• Nitrite removal: 100% removal with no hazardous nitrite accumulation 

• Handles mixed nitrogen sources simultaneously with >98% efficiency 

• Tolerates nitrate concentrations up to 800 mg/L 

2. Organic Pollution Reduction

• COD removal: Up to 94% reduction in industrial wastewater 

• BOD reduction: Significant decrease in distillery spent wash and organic effluents 

• Total Solids reduction: Effective reduction in total solids and dissolved solids 

3. Industrial Effluent Treatment

• Oil & grease: 97% removal from cold-rolling emulsion wastewater 

• Sugar mill effluent: Effective bioremediation of sugar industry wastewater 

• Distillery spent wash: Significant detoxification and organic load reduction 

• Food industry wastewater: Proven effectiveness in food processing effluent 

4. Toxic Hydrocarbon Degradation

• Benzene & Toluene: Effective degradation of these carcinogenic compounds in industrial streams 

• Phenol compounds: Demonstrated capability for phenolic wastewater treatment 

Suitable Wastewater Types

• Municipal sewage treatment plants 

• Food processing industry wastewater 

• Distillery spent wash 

• Sugar mill effluent 

• Cold-rolling emulsion wastewater (oil-containing) 

• Petrochemical industry wastewater (benzene/toluene) 

• Pharmaceutical effluent

Method of Application

Step 1: Activation (Recommended)

• For powder formulation, mix 1 kg product in 10 liters of lukewarm water (30°C)

• Add 100 g jaggery or molasses as nutrient supplement

• Aerate for 4-6 hours before application

Step 2: Direct Addition

• For liquid formulation, add directly to aeration tank or bioreactor

• Ensure even distribution across the treatment area

• Maintain dissolved oxygen levels above 2 mg/L

Step 3: Monitoring

• Monitor COD, BOD, and nutrient levels regularly

• Reapply based on pollutant load and system performance

Optimal Operating Conditions

• pH: 7.0 – 8.0 

• Temperature: 25 – 35°C 

• C/N Ratio: 1.0 (optimal for nitrate removal) 

• Dissolved Oxygen: >2 mg/L (aerobic conditions)

• Avoid: High chlorine residues, extreme pH, and toxic shock loads
