How Baczyme works

Powered by biology, matched to your system.

Baczyme puts beneficial bacteria and natural enzymes to work — the same biology that breaks down waste in nature, concentrated for your system. The enzymes break tough waste (fats, oils, proteins, solids) into pieces the bacteria can absorb and digest, converting it into simple, harmless by-products like water and carbon dioxide. That's how Baczyme clears sludge and removes odour at the source — not just masking it.

  1. 01TestTested at a SANAS-accredited lab to reveal the true contamination.
  2. 02PrescribeMatched to the right product and dosing schedule.
  3. 03DoseApply the prescribed powder or liquid at the source.
  4. 04DigestBacteria and enzymes digest the waste away at the source.
  5. 05MonitorRe-test and adjust so the system stays balanced.

Results depend on system design, dosage, loading, pH and chemical exposure. Baczyme is a maintenance and support tool, not a fix for damaged infrastructure or fully blocked drains — when a site needs mechanical clearing or repair, we'll tell you.

Biological water treatment that works with the plant you already have.

BACZYME is an independent South African biotechnology company.

Our strains are laboratory-characterised, and our field results are verified by SANAS-accredited laboratories.

Baczyme wastewater treatment project site

Reduce sludge where it sits

Biological digestion of accumulated organic solids in ponds, lagoons and treatment tanks, with the plant still running — instead of dewatering, excavation and licensed disposal.

Restore dams and water bodies

Recovery of eutrophic and contaminated dams on estates, golf courses and reserves, with measured improvements in bacterial counts, clarity and dissolved oxygen.

Support overloaded works

Carbon load and odour reduction at treatment works running well beyond their design capacity, where capital for a rebuild is not available.
