Breaking down food-derived organic matter
Addressing protein, fat and carbohydrate pollutants and their contribution to COD and BOD.
BIOFOX application vectors
Food processing
Food-processing wastewater carries an organic load, including proteins, fats and carbohydrates that BIOFOX helps break down. For meat processing, dairy production and other food businesses, we tailor the programme to wastewater composition and the actual preliminary and biological treatment configuration.

Fluctuating loads
Selecting a programme that accounts for actual wastewater flow and maximum and minimum loading.
Fats and preliminary treatment
We account for grease traps, oil separators, equalisation tanks and wastewater retention time.
Odour and treated water quality
We assess changes using analyses of incoming and treated wastewater, together with observations made by the facility.

Less grease. A cleaner system.
Kitchen wastewater: sewer chambers and grease traps.
With regular BIOFOX application, accumulated grease cleared from the sewer chambers and odour from the grease traps disappeared. Staff observed fat breakdown when opening, emptying and cleaning the equipment.
The product was added to sinks upstream of the grease traps. The hotel’s engineering team described the outcome in a letter of appreciation to its supplier.

How BIOFOX is applied
BIOFOX enzymes and microorganisms help break down organic compounds in wastewater. In food production, these are primarily proteins, fats and carbohydrates; we assess the results in relation to the operation of the existing treatment facilities.
We begin with the on-site treatment configuration: where wastewater is collected, how long it stays in tanks, how fats are separated and where the water flows next. These details inform dosing locations and procedures. We then compare inlet and outlet measurements taken before chlorination.
Conditions that shape the programme
- Wastewater composition: fats, COD, BOD, suspended solids, synthetic surfactants and pH, based on available analyses and the original questionnaire.
- Actual wastewater volume and the range of loading. A single average is insufficient when inflow varies substantially.
- Tank working volumes, retention time, grease traps and oil separators, secondary settling and aeration where present.
- Samples are taken at defined points. The inlet of one process unit cannot be compared with the outlet of another without explaining the treatment configuration.
