MicroC® 3000 Series
The MicroC® 3000 series is a proprietary, alcohol-based product series. These products are best suited for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants that want to enhance performance and save money by switching from pure methanol. MicroC® 3000 is the lowest-cost alternative on a $/lb of contaminants removed basis, and is often less expensive than methanol. The inclusion of non-methanol organics in MicroC® 3000 enhances denitrification kinetics and has been shown to stimulate enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR).
MicroC® 3000 can be applied as a direct substitute to methanol in municipal and industrial wastewater facilities seeking to reduce cost and improve the performance and environmental sustainability of their operations.
Cost Effectiveness
- Best value among flammable products
- Pricing below methanol on a $/lb N removed basis for most locations
- Flexible pricing options available; spot or long term (fixed or indexed)
Performance Advantages
- Enhanced kinetics due to ethanol and propanol content
- Lower risk of denitrifier washout
- Faster startup and recovery
- Higher denitrification rates
Environmentally Sustainable
