Biological support for better odour management.
Microbial tablets designed to help manage odour-associated organic build-up in wastewater systems, as part of a well-run treatment programme.
Where it fits
Odour-management support
Designed to help reduce odour-associated organic build-up alongside your existing odour and gas controls.
Organic build-up & FOG
Bacillus species that may support breakdown of sludge, fats, oils and grease in flowing, mixed wastewater.
Biological process support
May support the plant's own biology during start-up, recovery or variable loading.

Where tablets are applied
Drop into flowing, mixed or aerated wastewater — never into chlorination, ozone or oxidant dosing points.
- 1Upstream
Lift stations & wet wells
Where odour, septic conditions or FOG are present, part of the daily dose.
- 2Main dose
EQ outlet / biological inlet
Equalisation tank outlet or the biological reactor inlet.
- 3Mixed zones
Aeration & RAS
Near diffusers or aerators, or the return activated sludge channel.
Application guidance
Daily product dose, in kg per 1,000 m³/day of average influent flow (≈ per 1 MLD). Indicative ranges from the manufacturer's sheet — your site-specific protocol and the product label govern.
- Start-up or biological recovery
- 1.0–1.5 kg/day per 1 MLD
- Severe organic shock, odour or FOG
- 2.0–3.0 kg/day per 1 MLD, for 5–7 days
- Routine maintenance (stable operation)
- 0.5 kg/day per 1 MLD
- High-load or variable wastewater
- up to 1.0 kg/day per 1 MLD
For start-up or recovery, the initial dose runs ≈10–14 days, then is reviewed against plant performance.
Published research on sulfide-oxidizing bacteria
One species in ABOLISH, Paracoccus pantotrophus, has been studied for hydrogen sulfide removal. Two peer-reviewed papers on strain NTV02 reported these ranges.
These studies used P. pantotrophus NTV02 in gas-treatment biotrickling filters, not ABOLISH tablets in a WWTP. They support the biological rationale; they do not establish Abolish performance or predict results at your plant.
2017 study
96.3–96.7%
Biotrickling filter, synthetic biogas, inlet 150–400 ppmv; pH 8 adjusted daily; recirculation medium refreshed every 48 h.

A monitored site trial
Response depends on mixing, dissolved oxygen, pH and loading. We assess with measurements, not smell alone.
01
Baseline
Record H₂S with gas monitors and your normal operating data before dosing.
02
Apply & observe
Dose to an agreed protocol while keeping the same monitoring and operating records.
03
Review
Compare quantitative H₂S data and records with the baseline, then decide together.
Keep existing gas monitoring, safety procedures and plant controls in place throughout.
Technical consultation
Discuss your operation with a Blueweight specialist.
Share your production system and objectives. We'll respond with the relevant protocol, dossier or specification documents — no automated sales sequence.
