SEPTIC TANK & GREASE TRAP

A septic tank is an anaerobic wastewater treatment system where organic solids settle and decompose through bacterial activity. Over time, sludge (settled solids) accumulates at the bottom and scum (fats and oils) float on the surface. If not properly maintained, the system produces malodorous gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), methane (CH₄), and ammonia (NH₃), which cause strong foul odors.]

​

To address septic tank problems—especially odor generation, sludge accumulation, and poor digestion—in high-load systems, the bacterial consortium in Microbract HP can be applied as a biological remediation strategy.

Mechanism of Action of Microbract HP Bacteria

1. Accelerated Organic Degradation
Microbract HP contains selected strains of facultative and anaerobic bacteria capable of producing extracellular enzymes (protease, lipase, amylase, cellulase). These enzymes:

 

• Break down proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and cellulose

• Reduce total suspended solids (TSS)

• Liquefy sludge and prevent excessive bottom accumulation

2. Sludge Volume Reduction
By enhancing hydrolysis and acidogenesis phases of anaerobic digestion, the bacteria:

​

• Convert complex organics into simpler compounds

• Improve volatile solids reduction

• Decrease sludge thickness and pumping frequency

3. Odor Control (H₂S Mitigation)
Hydrogen sulfide is primarily generated under sulfate-reducing anaerobic conditions. Microbract HP works by:

 

• Competing with sulfate-reducing bacteria for substrate

• Promoting balanced microbial ecology

• Converting sulfur compounds into less volatile forms

• Result: Significant reduction in rotten-egg odor.

4. Grease and Biofilm Breakdown
In Hotels, Campus, shipboard and aircraft carrier systems where FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) load is high:

 

• Lipolytic bacteria degrade grease layers

• Reduce scum formation

• Prevent pipe blockage and pump fouling

5. Improved System Stability in septic Conditions
Septic/holding tanks experience:

 

• High hydraulic fluctuation

• Temperature variability

• Limited aeration

The resilient strains in Microbract HP maintain activity across variable pH and temperature ranges, stabilizing biological digestion even under confined General conditions.
Operational Benefits for Hotels , domestic and industerial septic , Ships and Aircraft Carriers :

 

• Reduced odor complaints in confined compartments

• Lower sludge accumulation rate

• Extended pump-out intervals

• Reduced corrosion caused by H₂S

• Improved compliance with maritime discharge regulations

• Application Protocol (General)

Initial shock dosing to reestablish microbial balance
Routine maintenance dosing based on tank volume and load
Avoid simultaneous use with strong biocides or chlorinated cleaners

Summary
Microbract HP provides a bioaugmentation solution that restores microbial equilibrium in septic systems. By enhancing enzymatic degradation, reducing sludge mass, controlling hydrogen sulfide production, and stabilizing digestion under marine operational stress, it offers a sustainable and maintenance-efficient approach for septic tanks on Hotels,Campus, ships and aircraft carriers and many more.
