Water Works’ Bioaugmentation Strategies Target Warm-Weather Midge Flies, Algae and Odor in Lagoons","press-room","\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Oklahoma City, OK, August 24, 2026 &mdash; \u003C\u002Fstrong>World Water Works, Inc. (WWW), a global designer and manufacturer of advanced water and wastewater treatment solutions, announces its WWW&trade; ArxZyme&trade; bioaugmentation line as a way for lagoon and pond operators to get ahead of summer upsets by controlling midge flies, algae and odor before they surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As water temperatures climb above roughly 59&deg;F (15&deg;C), the biology inside a wastewater lagoon accelerates. While the warmth speeds up the beneficial bacteria that drive treatment, it also accelerates the nuisances that plague operators each summer: midge fly larvae, algae blooms and the sulfate-reducing bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide odor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WWW&rsquo;s ArxZyme&trade; treatment approach blends live bacterial cultures that reproduce in place and produce their own enzymes for sustained digestion, as well as dosed enzymes that act faster by breaking down and liquefying material on contact. Each seasonal nuisance calls for a different balance of the two:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>For \u003Cstrong>midge and filter flies\u003C\u002Fstrong>, the ArxZyme line includes EPA-registered microbial biological larvicides that target larvae in the organic-rich sludge where they breed. It delivers protein crystals that activate only in the alkaline midgut of the larvae. The selective mechanism leaves mammals, birds and fish unaffected and sidesteps the resistance associated with conventional insecticides.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>For \u003Cstrong>algae\u003C\u002Fstrong>, WWW&rsquo;s strategy is competition. Because killing algae directly leaves behind the nutrients that fuel the next bloom, heterotrophic bacteria are used to consume orthophosphate and ammonia faster than algae can, starving the bloom of its food supply.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>For \u003Cstrong>hydrogen sulfide odor and sludge buildup\u003C\u002Fstrong>, ArxZyme cultures outcompete the sulfate-reducing bacteria responsible for hydrogen sulfide, cutting odor at the source and reducing the sludge that fuels both the smell and the flies. Grease-heavy lift stations and collection lines respond to the same treatment.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cp>These warm-weather strategies map to specific products in the WWW&trade; ArxZyme&trade; line, which pairs live bacterial cultures with enzymatic blends formulated for each type of upset.
