Novozymes BioRemove 1100 improved plant stability through enhanced COD reduction Novozymes BioRemove 1100 improved plant stability through enhanced COD reductionBenefits • 16% COD reduction in effluent concentrations • Reduced effluent variation Background Acclimation is the adaptation of an organism to its natural environment. In part, this involves having the genetic capacity to produce the enzymes needed to degrade available organic compounds. Loss of acclimation often occurs with fluctuating wastewater quality, with the result that population dynamics can be impacted such that degrading organisms may be absent prior to the appearance of periodically available compounds. Degrading organisms may also be absent if concentrations of a specific organic compound are too low or if their food
