CHM Aquaculture 5B
Aquaculture Treatment
A water treatment product formulated to promote the production of healthy shrimp and fish
Advantages
As demand for fish, shellfish and other aquatic organisms continues to rise, fisheries search for a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option to manage their aquaculture systems.
Aquaculture systems often struggle with the over-stocking of farms and the creation of excess waste. This population growth problem causes the animals to be stressed and more susceptible to diseases. A high concentration of waste in the water will also increase biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and drop dissolved oxygen (DO) which negatively impacts the animals.
The addition of naturally occurring and beneficial microorganisms to the water is an intelligent choice for reducing, reusing and recycling waste. Bacteria are an integral part of all aquaculture ponds and have a direct impact on its productivity, nutrients, water quality and disease control.
Aquaculture treatment is a biologically active formula of Chemtech’s bacterial strains that were chosen because of their ability to rapidly digest excess waste material in shrimp ponds. The scientifically selected, proprietary blend of cultures colonize the animal gut to aid in feed digestion and help protect shrimp and fish against pathogens.
Prawn Field Test Results
As shown in the chart above, using Chemtech’s CHM-Aquaculture-5B, Aquaculture/Shrimp & Fish blend equates to an increase in survival and weight of the animal, as well as a higher payback ratio.
Our cultures were chosen for optimum enzyme production, assuring efficient breakdown of proteins, carbohydrates, cellulose and fats. This leads to better feed conversion and less waste material for cleaner water and higher oxygen levels. Additionally, harmful ammonia and nitrates subside for healthier aquatic animals.

Chemtech’s Microbial Products are the industry-leading odor control, bioaugmentation, solids degradation, and corrosion prevention solutions. For over 20 years, we are the trusted and preferred supplier for a wide range of industries worldwide, including food processing, wastewater treatment, paper and pulp, refinery, and agriculture.
Safe, Natural Product
Microbe Lift O/C formula is a safe, natural product derived from organic matter consisting of natural soil constituents, including humate salts, humic acids, lignin matter and extractions of highly humified organic matters – powerful components that capture odorous compounds and interrupt their corrosive reactions, and enhance biological activities for solids degradation, reducing Total suspended solids (TSS) and Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) levels.

Effective, Environmentally Friendly, & Economical Solution
In industrial and municipal wastewater and sewage treatment plants, pumping stations, septic tanks, and grease traps, Chemtech’s Microbial Products are an effective, environmentally friendly, and economical solution used for the digestion of fats, oils, and grease, as well as the control and reduction of a wide range of odorous compounds, including hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans and ammonia, and their resulting corrosive effects.
What's in our product?
Chemtech’s Microbial products contain powerful bacteria and enzymes that act as organic catalysts to accelerate degradation of many organic polymers, including fats, proteins, plant carbohydrates, and certain types of solid materials.
Improves Efficiency
Microbe formulations effectively reduce treatment surcharges as well as frequency and severity of plant upsets, and remove specific waste compounds at higher rates. This ultimately improves the efficiency of treatment systems to produce higher quality effluents, helping to minimize operational costs and ensuring compliance with municipal and state regulations.
Safe for Personnel to handle
Chemtech’s Microbial products contain high numbers of naturally occurring bacteria that are effective for a wide range of degradation and treatment applications, and are safe for your facilities and personnel to handle.
