PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Distilled Spirits Treat (DST) is a blend of specifically-screened microbes formulated to reduce BOD, COD, TSS and odors in distillery and brewery wastewater treatment.  

​The microbes in DST have been hand-picked by our team of microbiologists to target substances commonly found in alcohol production wastewater. Each formulation of DST is modified for each distilled spirit or brewery waste.  Another benefit of using DST is increased treatment capacity, which drives treatment costs/liter down.

Our DST bugs love to drink, so make sure you're ready when they show up.

Case Studies
Location
Tequila Production Wastewater Treatment Plant
Problem
Raw wastewater from Tequila production with reduced aeration tank treatment capacity. Bad odors, heavy sludge buildup on tank bottom and heavy scum layer on top.
Treatment
Bio-Green Distilled Spirits Treat (DST) and Wastewater Treat (WT) microbes applied to existing aeration tank once per day.  Powdered product was applied via aeration tank inlet.
Results
Bad odors eliminated in 7 days.  After 14 days treatment, scum layer on top of tank almost eliminated. Level of water in the aeration tank dropped by >1 meter, representing >1 meter of sludge that was consumed at the tank bottom.  Aeration tank treatment capacity increased due to reduction of sludge. Electricity costs reduced due to reduction in organic load leading to decreased load on aerators. ​

Problem
Raw alcohol production wastewater with high COD levels. Inability to meet discharge goals in existing wastewater treatment system
Treatment
Bio-Green Distilled Spirits Treat (DST) microbes applied to existing wastewater treatment process along with proper aeration.
Results
COD levels below discharge targets.  More efficient treatment achieved, resulting in increased treatment capacity.
