The Reliable Carbon for Industrial BNR: Why MicroC® Outperforms Internal Waste Streams

Consistent Carbon, Predictable Performance

Internal waste streams may contain carbon, but they rarely deliver it in a way the biology can use effectively. Variability in solids, fats, proteins, and loadings can shift frequently making it difficult to maintain stable denitrification. EOSi’s MicroC® provides a quality and sustainable carbon source that performs consistently, every time.

Denitrifying bacteria requires readily available carbon to reliably remove nitrate. Most internal waste streams require fermentation or hydrolysis before they become usable which can be an unpredictable process. MicroC is specifically formulated for instant biological uptake, enabling rapid responsive nitrate reduction that supports consistent effluent compliance, regardless of what’s happening upstream.

Optimized for Worry-Free Operations

Relying on internal streams often means introducing fats, oils, grease, solids, and other complex organics into your biological nutrient removal (BNR) process which can lead to clogs, odors, inconsistent feed quality and unnecessary operator burden. Alternatively, MicroC is the number one trusted non-hazardous liquid carbon source available that’s easy to store, dose, and maintain.

Implementing EOSi’s integrated Nitrack® dosing system, provides further operational support including improved process control, improved carbon efficiency, more stable effluent nitrate, and lower operating cost through accurate dosing. Backed by an award-winning algorithm, MicroC paired with Nitrack’s custom dashboards and real-time analytics provide operator peace of mind and long-term optimization that internal waste streams cannot offer.

Proven Chemistry, Proven Results

From meat and poultry processors to beverage plants and dairy facilities, industrial operations rely on EOSi’s MicroC because it delivers consistent, measurable results in nitrate removal, process stability, operational efficiency and safety, automation performance, and overall BNR reliability. MicroC plus Nitrack is the trusted integrated optimization partner used in hundreds of installations across North America, helping facilities regain control of their nutrient removal processes and meet their compliance goals with confidence.

While internal waste streams may appear cost-effective on paper, hidden costs, variability, infrastructure requirements, staff time, biological risk, and process instability often far outweigh the perceived savings. MicroC provides a refined, engineered, performance-optimized carbon solution that delivers reliability where it matters most, protecting your compliance, your operations, and your bottom line.
