Dispersible sinking solid

Sedivore Puck

A smaller sinking solid for distributing bacteria across the sludge bed. SediLogic's format specification spans roughly 14 g to 170 g per unit. Contact us to confirm the available unit size and quantity for your application.

A white plastic pail with a printed label, beside a sealed bag of round off-white discs and a loose pile of the same on a white background.

Freight is added at checkout, and an order on a pallet is quoted before it ships. A person reads every order against the lagoon it is going to, and says so if the quantity looks wrong for the system.

01Why this format

Accumulated organic bottom sludge

Pucks allow more placements across the bed, including edges and corners, and can be applied from the bank by hand. Spike is designed for delivery through greater depth. Ask us which format suits your lagoon; the planner does not calculate a Puck quantity.

It works at the sludge interface, and it suits a shallower blanket, or one spread across a wide area.

Storage
Store dry and cool, away from direct sunlight; keep the container tightly closed.

03When not to buy this

When to consider another approach

  • The blanket sits under real depth. Mass is what carries a solid down, and the spike is the article for that; a lighter unit is the wrong choice for a deep cell.
  • Most of the accumulation is grit, sand, silt or mineral precipitate. Biological treatment cannot remove those materials.
  • Mixing or aeration needs attention first. Biological treatment cannot compensate for those problems.
  • You need capacity restored by a fixed date. Biological treatment is gradual and seasonal; compare physical removal options for an urgent deadline.

The planner checks these conditions before calculating a quantity.

04Microbiology

How bacteria break down organic sludge

The mechanism is enzymatic hydrolysis. Bacillus species release enzymes that break large organic molecules into smaller, soluble fragments. Bacteria then take up and metabolise those fragments.

Enzyme classes produced by Bacillus and the material each acts on
EnzymeActs onWhat that is, in a lagoon
ProteaseProteins and peptidesThe protein fraction of settled influent solids and of dead biomass.
LipaseFats, oils and greasesFOG, which floats and consolidates rather than settling out on its own.
AmylaseStarches and complex carbohydratesCarbohydrate load, typically heaviest on food-processing influent.
CellulaseCellulosePlant fibre and paper, which is a large share of a municipal blanket.

Why Bacillus works in dry treatments

Bacillus produces these enzymes and forms spores that tolerate drying and storage. The spores germinate when conditions are suitable. This makes Bacillus useful in dry sludge treatments. These products are not intended to address an ammonia permit; that requires a separate assessment of nitrification.

What the published work supports

Mixtures of protease, cellulase and lipase reduce total suspended solids by 30 to 50 per cent and improve settling, with protease and cellulase together outperforming either alone. One controlled study reported 33 per cent volatile suspended solids reduction.

Peer-reviewedControlled studyEnzyme mechanism. Field efficacy figures in this category are measured by the seller rather than independently, ours included, and are labelled that way.

These studies explain the mechanism; they do not predict results from a SediLogic product. The research is collected in the scientific literature.

The range

Other formats, and what each one is for

Choose the format according to where the material has accumulated and how you apply treatment. Sinking solids target settled bottom sludge. Soluble pouches and liquids disperse in the water column.
