EF Effluent Treatment
Stimulates aerobic microbial activity in effluent ponds
EF Effluent Treatment helps create and maintain a balanced microbial environment in effluent ponds, thereby stimulating microbial digestion of organic matter. This fermented microbial culture contains a rich source of vitamins, minerals, proteins, enzymes, amino acids, carbohydrates, dormant organisms and growth promoters. In effect, it provides a rich food source for microbes as well as dormant aerobic bacteria species.
EF Effluent Treatment is suitable for all types of effluent management systems. A number of physical and chemical changes can be observed in ponds within four to six weeks of treatment, depending on the thickness of the surface crust.
Features and Benefits
- Stimulates aerobic microbial activity in effluent ponds
- Digests suspended solids into plant-available liquid nutrients
- Reduces turbidity and increases the liquids to solids ratio
- Reduces surface crusting, solid waste and the need for de-sludging
- Reduces unpleasant odours
- Suitable for: herd home floors, animal bedding, waste water treatment environments, septic tanks, composting
Initial Treatment
Dilute EF Effluent Treatment in water (1:20-40)
Agitate contents before use
Partially fill spray tank with water
Add required amount of EF Effluent Treatment
Fill the remainder of the spray tank with water
Spray evenly over the wet crust and the liquid portion of the pond
Use within 48hours of dilution

25 x 50 metres(1,250 m2) | 20L sprayed evenly across the pond water |
25 x 75 metres(1,875 square metres) | 40L sprayed evenly across the pond water OR two 20L sprays 14-21 days apart |
