Bioremediation is a treatment process that uses naturally occurring microorganisms to degrade hazardous substances into less toxic or nontoxic substances. Very few chemicals that are treated in a waste treatment plant are really
"toxic". It is usually a matter of time or numbers. The bacteria present
in a waste plant many times do not have enough time in your system when a high
BOD loading or shock comes through or there are are not enough numbers to
sufficiently reduce the BOD before the stream hits the final effluent and
violations occur. So, some companies created biological additives to increase
the numbers and give the system a boost. If you have an activated sludge plant, many times minor process changes coupled with close monitor and control of the biomass can help quicken upset recovery or just increase process efficiency. Not all plants need biological additives. Some just need to improve the "critical 5" parameters. But some plants have constantly changing influents. No matter how great a control they have, their biomass is in constant flux. Sometimes adding a biological product or micronutrients can help stabilize and increase the efficiency of the biomass. Many times, when a plant has a system that is old or underdesigned, and capital improvements would be too costly, optimization of the current system plus addition of biological products can short term help avoid costly capital improvements. Some plants discharge to a POTW. Addition of biological products in some cases can decrease the surcharges that are incurred. Sometimes in a once through lagoon, addition of bacteria can shorten recovery time, increase numbers during cold spells or high loading bursts. Micronutrients have been known to shorten the lag time and increase activity in the biomass. Basically, they are like "bug vitamins"!!

Bioaugmentation
is the application of specifically selected bacteria
(microbes) into a wastewater treatment system to enhance the system performance
in some way. Bioaugmentation has many applications in all types of biological
wastewater treatment systems, including once-through lagoons, activated sludge
plants, sequencing batch reactors (SBR's) and rotating biological contactors (RBC's).
