It is aimed mainly at environmental wastewater service professionals, and it can also be used in ponds and aquariums where sludge and organic waste build up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat It Is\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicrobe-Lift SA (Sludge Away) is a highly active accelerator for solids reduction. It is designed to help the microbes in a system break down organic waste that would otherwise degrade very slowly. According to the manufacturer, it has been shown to enhance the biological oxidation of slow-to-degrade organic waste solids by as much as 80% over historical system performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula contains only active, natural, organic-based humates and humic constituents. These natural reactive compounds include most, if not all, of the biological compounds synthesised by living organisms, including plants. Humic material covers a broad spectrum of organic constituents, many of which have counterparts in biological tissue. These compounds have been shown to speed up the microbial response to difficult organic matter. That faster response has resulted in significant reductions in sludge volume through the rapid oxidation of many non-biodegradables and slow-to-degrade organic compounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePromotes faster microbial oxidation of waste matter, increasing organic degradation performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to promote rapid solids removal and reduce sludge volumes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks on difficult material such as hard-to-degrade compounds, fatty acids, hydrocarbons and fibrous matter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeeds the overall biological oxidation of BOD, COD and sludge accumulations when used together with Microbe-Lift bacterial cultures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps with odour control.
