BioMe SBR Booster Bacteria for Aerated Treatment Systems

Bioactivator for aerated treatment systems: SBR, activated sludge or biofilm systems. Bacillus bacteria and five enzymes top up the activated sludge in the aeration chamber, reduce odours and help produce clearer effluent.

  • Stable activated sludge, even after chemicals or a holiday
  • 5 enzymes for fats, proteins, starch and fibre
  • Straight into the aeration chamber: 20 g once a week

BioMe SBR Booster

An aerated treatment system is a biological reactor. Keep the activated sludge in shape.

For aerated treatment systems: SBR, activated sludge or moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR). Bacillus bacteria and five enzymes top up the activated sludge in the aeration chamber, reduce odours and help produce clearer effluent. You add the dose once a week, straight into the aeration chamber.

  • SBR and activated sludgeand MBBR biofilm systems
  • 5 active enzymesfor fats, proteins, starch and fibre
  • pH 5–8biodegradable, not classified as hazardous
  • 500 g or 1 kg25 or 50 weekly doses
Sound familiar?

A smell at the lid and cloudy effluent

Chlorine-based cleaners, bleach, antibiotics, long breaks (holidays, a weekend home) and load peaks after visitors weaken the bacteria in the aeration chamber. The activated sludge struggles to break down fats and proteins, and ammonia is no longer properly nitrified.

  • A fermentation and ammonia smell at the lid
  • Cloudy or grey effluent
  • A strong smell when you come back from holiday
  • Problems after someone in the house has taken antibiotics

When the bacteria don’t form proper flocs, the sludge doesn’t settle and leaves the system with the clarified water. That puts a burden on the percolation area or the ditch the water discharges to.

How it works

Fresh bacteria straight into the aeration chamber

  • Measure the dose

    20 g (½ scoop) for 1–4 people. Double the dose in the first month.

  • Add to the chamber

    Via the access cover. The toilet works too, but some enzymes are lost on the way.

  • Repeat every 7 days

    Pick a fixed day. Regular dosing builds a stable bacterial population.

Dosage

A start-up dose in the first month, then a maintenance dose

40 g (1 scoop)
5–9 people

How often
every 7 days for 4 weeks

Use the start-up dose on first use, after chemicals or after a holiday. If someone in the house has been on antibiotics, use a double dose for 2–3 weeks after the course ends.

The blower or aeration pump must be running: the bacteria need oxygen. Don’t dose straight after chlorine, bleach, hydrogen peroxide or acid from drain unblockers: wait 24 hours. Gas boiler condensate and water softener brine also hold the bacteria back.

To be honest

What this product won’t do

  • It won’t replace the blower

    Without aeration the bacteria don’t work. A faulty blower, pump or control unit needs a specialist.

  • It won’t work without oxygen

    It isn’t for septic tanks or anaerobic systems. For a septic tank, use BioMe Septic Tank Balance.

  • It won’t replace removing excess sludge

    Regular desludging is still needed, as set out in the system manufacturer’s instructions.

FAQ

What our customers ask

Which systems is this product for?

For systems with an aeration chamber: SBR, activated sludge (including continuous flow) or moving bed biofilm (MBBR). For systems with soil infiltration (percolation area, soakaway, tunnels) we have BioMe for systems with soil infiltration, and for septic tanks BioMe Septic Tank Balance.

How is it different from BioMe Wastewater Solution?

Wastewater Solution is dosed down the toilet and supports treatment systems in general, aerobic and anaerobic. SBR Booster is made for aerated systems and is ideally added straight into the aeration chamber, where the activated sludge does its work.

Do I need to open the lid?

We recommend adding the dose straight into the aeration chamber through the access cover: the bacteria go straight into the oxygen-rich environment. Using the toilet is more convenient and does work, but some of the enzymes are used up on the way through the pipes.

When will I see results?

The first results (less smell, clearer effluent) show after 7–14 days of regular use. The activated sludge stabilises within 3–4 weeks. In a system that has been neglected for a long time, results can take 6–8 weeks.

I’ve come back from holiday and the system smells. What should I do?

Use a double dose once a week for 2–4 weeks. Before a long trip away, add a dose just before you leave and another the day after you get back.

How long does one pack last?

At 20 g a week (4 people), 500 g lasts about 25 weeks and 1 kg about 50 weeks. At 40 g a week, 500 g lasts about 12 weeks and 1 kg about 25 weeks.
