Maximizing biogas production in the food and beverage industries  

BG Max from Novozymes (France) maximizes biogas potential while improving the efficiency of anaerobic systems in wastewater treatment operations in the food and beverage industries. A biological formulation that combines beneficial microorganisms and fast-acting enzymes, BG Max dramatically increases the conversion of COD into volatile fatty acids, initiating methane production. Meanwhile, the specially selected enzymes in the formulation kick-start the metabolism of proteins and starches as well as enhance the hydrolysis of fats. Sludge quantity and treatment costs are reduced, while waste is turned into energy, increasing the return on investment.

“BG Max is another great innovation from Novozymes that helps our customers get the most out of their anaerobic wastewater system,” explains Global Marketing Manager Chris Day. “With this product our customers can more efficiently transform wastewater into valuable energy while reducing the overall cost of treatment.”
