MICROBE-LIFT® Farm Waste Management
MICROBE-LIFT® Eliminates Lagoon Crust and Cuts BOD by 70%
Location: Seneca & Crawford Counties, Ohio, USA
Project Type: Agricultural Waste Management/ Odor & BOD Reduction
A swine farm in South Korea operating a concrete lagoon system faced severe surface crusting that hindered pumping and manure application, along with persistent odor issues. MICROBE-LIFT®/HOG was applied to biologically break down accumulated solids and restore lagoon performance.
Visible improvements began within three days, with progressive disruption of the crust, and after 45 days of treatment, the lagoon surface was completely clear with no floating solids. Odors were eliminated, and effluent BOD was reduced by 70%, demonstrating MICROBE-LIFT®/HOG’s effectiveness in restoring lagoon function and improving environmental performance in high-volume livestock operations.
Bionatural® Improves Cattle Ranch Wastewater Quality
Location: Mexico
Project Type: Farm Wastewater Treatment
Year: 2017–2018
This case study evaluated the impact of Bionatural® biological treatment on cattle ranch wastewater in Mexico. Water quality parameters such as FOG, TSS, BOD₅, and total phosphorus were monitored before and after treatment.
The results showed significant reductions in all measured pollutants after applying the biological treatment, bringing water quality closer to NOM-001-SEMARNAT-96 standards. The study demonstrates that Bionatural® is an effective solution for improving wastewater management on cattle farms.
MICROBE-LIFT® Removes Sludge and Crust, Solving Manure Handling Issues
Location: Ipswich, South Dakota, USA
Project Type: Agricultural Waste Management
Year: 2003
A hog operation in Ipswich, South Dakota, managing approximately 10,000 hogs, struggled with a 750,000-gallon concrete holding pit that developed a 5–6 inch crust, causing difficult sludge handling and odor issues. In May 2003, MICROBE-LIFT®/HOG was applied directly to the pit and crust. Within 72 hours, bubbling began and the crust started to break up.
Continued treatment over 47 days reduced crust to less than one inch, eliminated two-thirds of surface solids, and significantly controlled odors. The program eliminated the need for labor-intensive mechanical agitation, solved costly sludge handling problems, and demonstrated MICROBE-LIFT®/HOG’s effectiveness in rapid sludge reduction and odor management in high-volume livestock operations.
MICROBE-LIFT® Improves Fertilizer Value of Livestock Manure
Location: Seneca & Crawford Counties, Ohio, USA
Project Type: Agricultural Waste Management
Year: 2013
An Ohio State University–led field evaluation at hog finishing barns in Seneca and Crawford Counties, Ohio, assessed the impact of MICROBE-LIFT® on manure fertilizer value. Beginning in May 2013, treated barns showed improved nutrient availability, including higher combined ammonia and organic nitrogen levels, along with increased phosphate (P₂O₅) and potassium (K₂O).
At the Seneca County site, these improvements translated into an estimated US $3.96 increase in fertilizer value per 1,000 gallons of manure, while results at the Crawford County site confirmed enhanced nutrient retention despite differences in agitation practices. The study demonstrates MICROBE-LIFT®’s ability to improve manure quality, nutrient utilization, and overall economic returns for livestock operations.
