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

• Green methanol; derived using agricultural feedstock versus natural gas
• Lower Greenhouse Gas (GHG) footprint
• Produced in the United States (most methanol is imported)
