Sustainable Wastewater Management Starts Here: How Acti-Zyme Transforms Lift Stations and Lagoons
Managing wastewater isn’t just about compliance—it’s about long-term performance, cost efficiency, and environmental responsibility. For over six decades, Acti-Zyme Lagoon and Lift Station Treatment has been trusted across Canada and beyond as a natural, science-backed solution for treating wastewater in municipal lagoons, industrial lift stations, bioreactors, and large septic systems.
Powered by more than 70 strains of naturally occurring bacteria, Acti-Zyme delivers results where others fall short—reducing sludge, eliminating foul odors, and extending the life of treatment systems without harsh chemicals or environmental harm.
Real-World Use Cases: Where Acti-Zyme Excels
🏙️ Municipal Lagoon Systems
Many small towns and municipalities struggle with sludge accumulation and odor complaints, especially in warmer months. Acti-Zyme’s biologically driven formulation targets these problems by accelerating the digestion of organic material like fats, oils, proteins, and cellulose—reducing the need for expensive dredging or manual removal.
🏠Industrial Lift Stations
Food processors, manufacturing plants, and commercial complexes often experience issues with grease, foam, and solids buildup in lift stations. Acti-Zyme not only dissolves this buildup at the microbial level, but also prevents future accumulation, helping facilities stay within regulatory discharge limits.
🛠️ Public Infrastructure & Utilities
Cities and public works departments rely on Acti-Zyme for odor mitigation and long-term maintenance in sewer lift stations and bioreactors. With consistent application, Acti-Zyme helps improve flow rates, minimize mechanical wear, and enhance biological stability within the system.

The Science Behind Acti-Zyme: Nature + Engineering
Acti-Zyme stands out because it’s not just about bacteria counts—it’s about creating a complete microbial ecosystem optimized for breakdown and digestion.
🔬 Syntrophic Oxidation Bacteria (SOB)
These specialized bacteria form the backbone of Acti-Zyme. Working in cooperative metabolic chains, they tackle hard-to-digest organic matter that typical microbial blends can’t process efficiently.
⚙️ Targeted Enzyme Activity
Acti-Zyme includes specific enzymes that break down:
-
Proteins (from animal waste or food)
-
Lipids and fats (from grease and oils)
-
Cellulose (from paper products and vegetation)
-
Carbohydrates and sugars
This dual-action approach—bacteria + enzymes—speeds up digestion while reducing system overload.
🧪 Enhanced with MET Granules and Buffering Agents
The patented MET (Microbial Enhancement Technology) granules act as a carrier and stimulant for microbial activity, while buffering agents regulate pH to ensure optimal biological conditions—even in variable or harsh wastewater environments.
