Enzyme-Activated Biological Spikes for Targeted Sludge Reduction in Wastewater Lagoons

CI Sludge Sharks are a next-generation sludge reduction solution designed for wastewater lagoon systems facing excessive sludge buildup, declining treatment capacity, or rising dredging costs. These biological treatment spikes are pre-formed, easy to apply, and engineered to deliver high concentrations of specialized bacteria, enzymes, and nutrients directly to the sludge layer where they’re needed most.

Once deployed into the lagoon, the spike dissolves and releases fast-acting microbial agents that begin breaking down complex organic solids, including fats, oils, grease, and cellulose. The formulation promotes aerobic and facultative biological digestion processes, resulting in a more oxidized, compacted, and biologically stable sludge layer. This helps improve hydraulic retention times and overall lagoon functionality.

CI Sludge Sharks are especially effective in problem hotspots, such as dead zones or areas with persistent sludge accumulation. Field data from treated municipal lagoons show sludge volume reductions of up to 38%, leading to extended dredging intervals, improved clarity, and more consistent effluent quality. These spikes are safe, biodegradable, and non-toxic, making them a responsible choice for municipalities and industries looking to meet environmental performance targets without increasing chemical load. CI Sludge Sharks also support odor control and reduce the binding agents that hold sludge together, enhancing long-term lagoon health. Whether used as part of a remediation strategy or ongoing lagoon maintenance plan, CI Sludge Sharks deliver reliable results in a compact, easy-to-deploy form.
