Environmental engineers often face the difficult challenge of selecting high-quality microorganisms for wastewater treatment that meet environmental discharge standards at a reasonable cost for businesses.

When it comes to the current range of microorganisms for wastewater treatment, there are many new and old brands, both imported and domestically produced using foreign materials.

However, if you choose based on price alone, you might end up buying domestic microorganisms at a price that could have gotten you imported microorganisms. Therefore, it's essential to carefully consider the price before deciding to purchase or choose a microbial product.

This article will guide you through the criteria to consider before deciding to buy a particular type of microorganism for wastewater treatment.

• Treatment function: You must clearly understand your system and where the issues are arising. Do you need to treat BOD, COD, odors, high total nitrogen or reduce sludge? Importantly, what type of wastewater is it (saline or difficult to decompose)? Understanding the characteristics and origins of the wastewater will help you choose the right microorganisms with suitable microbial strains to solve the problem optimally. The current trend is to use microorganisms containing diverse and high-density strains that can handle all types of wastewater, from industrial to household wastewater. For the most challenging types of wastewater, like those from breweries, seafood, paper production, rubber, etc., you can combine additional specialized products containing special microbial strains.
• Temperature Factor: Choose microbial products that can withstand a temperature range from 5°C to 40°C, which is the typical temperature range that most microorganisms can live, exist, and continue to grow in the system.
• Salt Tolerance: If your wastewater has a salinity of up to 40‰ (about 4%), consider choosing a product with suitable microbial strains that can tolerate high salinity.
• Facilitate Waste Treatment and Transformation: This is why you should choose products with clear origins, reputable and long-standing brands that contain high densities of diverse beneficial bacteria. These bacteria will produce the necessary enzymes to decompose organic impurities in the wastewater effectively and safely.
• Low Maintenance Dosage: Regardless of the type of microorganism chosen, cost is still a factor in plant treatment solutions. Depending on whether you need fast or slow treatment, you can determine the dosage of microorganisms to add to the system, allowing you to manage costs. However, wastewater treatment is a long journey, not a short-term solution. Therefore, plants should calculate supplemental bacteria to maintain stable system operations and ensure compliance with environmental standards.
