Phenol Treatment
ESPT – PHENOL TREATMENT ESPT is a microbial formulation for use in treating wastewater that ensures the rapid recovery from toxic shock caused by phenols and other aromatic compounds such as cumene, catechol and cresol. Typically, the susceptibility of biomass to upset depends primarily on the magnitude of change in phenol concentrations. ESPT contains microbial strains capable of uninhibited growth at high phenol concentrations. Applicable processes include, but are not limited to, steel coking, coal conversion, petroleum cracking, plastic resins and pharmaceuticals. BENEFITS OF ESPT: Enables rapid recovery from toxic shocks caused by phenols and associated compounds Reduces or eliminates upsets that result from variable phenolic loadings Reduces the inhibitory effects of phenols by increasing the growth rates and sustainability of phenol degrading biomass Reduces the negative impact of production increases on effluent quality Degrades various halo substituted aromatics such as
