Aquafix - Model Qwik-Zyme L -Biological Grease Control Blend for Collection Systems

Qwik-Zyme L is a specialized blend of fat-digesting enzymes engineered to rapidly degrade fats, oils, and greases (FOG) in municipal and industrial wastewater systems. Its a powerful enzyme that breaks down long-chain fatty acids—the root cause of grease caps and foaming filaments—supporting effective FOG reduction, grease cap removal, and biosolids management. This product is ideal for wastewater professionals seeking a natural, high-performance solution to fat-related treatment challenges.

Designed for daily application at the headworks, in aeration basins, Qwik-Zyme L is effective across a variety of operating conditions and treatment plant designs. By hydrolyzing stubborn lipids such as oleic, palmitic, and steric acids, as well as fish oils and animal fats, Qwik-Zyme L enhances lipid degradation and reduces the risk of filamentous bacteria outbreaks like Nocardia and Microthrix parvicella. It plays a key role in filamentous bacteria control, which is vital to preventing foam and maintaining process stability in the activated sludge process.

Beyond reducing visible grease buildup, Qwik-Zyme L improves overall effluent water quality with the help of bioaugmentation and reducing TSS (Total Suspended Solids) levels. Qwik-Zyme L use supports organic load reduction, enabling more efficient nutrient cycling and more consistent compliance with discharge permits. For systems experiencing severe foaming, pairing Qwik-Zyme L with Foam Buster enhances its effects, making it a comprehensive tool for operators managing high FOG loads.

Qwik-Zyme L helps treatment facilities transition away from harsh chemicals and embrace sustainable biological alternatives. Its compatibility with a variety of wastewater environments makes it a flexible, cost-effective choice for operators focused on reducing fats, oils, and greases while boosting system resilience.
