Municipal wastewater treatment
Treat wastewater challenges at the source
Koenders pairs beneficial-bacteria bioaugmentation with purpose-built aeration to help manage sludge, TSS, FOG and odour in sewage lagoons. In the lift stations, our patented automated cleaning system doses Lift Station XPT Cleaner into the lift station wells to target the fats, oils and grease that drive buildup, helping municipalities and service providers reduce reactive maintenance.

The wastewater and lift-station lineup
Lift Station XPT Cleaner for automated FOG dosing, Bio-Augmenter for lagoon biology, and dedicated odour control. Tell us about your sites and we will scope the right program.
The challenge
Persistent wastewater problems demand a system approach
FOG, solids and low-oxygen conditions can create recurring operational issues across lagoons and lift stations. Treating the cause can reduce reliance on repeated cleanouts and reactive chemical use.
Lagoon solids and sludge accumulation
Suspended solids and settled organic material can consume capacity and complicate lagoon management. Without adequate oxygen, mixing and biological activity, sludge can continue to build.
FOG buildup around pumps
Fats, oils and grease collect in lagoons, lift station wells and around pumping equipment. As grease coats pumps, floats and controls, it can interfere with cooling and reliable operation, contributing to overheating, emergency callouts and, in severe cases, pump failure.
Persistent wastewater odour
Low-oxygen and stagnant conditions can encourage odour-producing biological processes. Odour complaints also create a visible public accountability issue for municipalities.
Reactive lift-station maintenance
Grease mats and organic deposits can require frequent pump-outs, scraping or service calls. Manual product application can also be inconsistent across staff, shifts and locations.
The approach
Integrated treatment for lagoons and lift stations
Koenders provides the biological treatment, oxygen delivery and automated dosing tools needed to build a practical municipal program.
Bioaugmentation and aeration as one system
In the lagoon, our Bio-Augmenter concentrate supplies beneficial bacteria and enzymatic activity that support aerobic and anaerobic digestion, nutrient consumption and nitrification. Paired with Koenders aeration for dissolved oxygen and mixing, the aim is to lower the organic load behind BOD and COD, subject to site conditions.
Automated lift-station dosing with XPT
Our patented device doses Lift Station XPT Cleaner into the lift station well at set intervals. XPT is formulated to emulsify the fats, oils and grease that collect around pumps and floats, so treatment stays consistent without staff handling product on every visit.
A low-chemical, publicly defensible approach
Treating the organic source biologically reduces reliance on aggressive chemical cleaning. Less corrective chemistry can also ease the downstream burden, with fewer additives to counteract and less dechlorination load, which supports responsible spending and clear communication with ratepayers. Actual results depend on site conditions.
From one site to a multi-site program
Start with a primary lagoon or a problem lift station, then expand as results come in. Each need has a matched product: Bio-Augmenter for lagoon biology, Lift Station XPT Cleaner for lift-station FOG, and dedicated odour and H2S control where required. Standardized dosing and service planning keep it consistent across sites.
Patented automated lift-station cleaning
How the automated cleaning system works
Our patented system doses cleaning concentrate into the lift station on an automatic schedule, with no daily site visits and no manual handling. Here is how the four components work together, from the water supply to the wet well.
1Programmable dosing controller
A battery-powered Koenders controller connects to a water supply and sets the schedule. Simple How Often and How Long dials let operators program automatic dosing intervals to match the lift station's load and run frequency, with manual and rain-delay modes for full control.
Consistent, unattended dosing on a schedule you set.
2Water-concentrate mixing unit
At each interval, water flows through the wall-mounted mixing unit. A filtered draw tube pulls Lift Station XPT Cleaner up from the pail and proportions it into the water stream, producing a consistently diluted cleaning solution every cycle.
Accurate, repeatable dilution with no measuring or handling.
3Concentrate supply
A sealed pail of concentrate sits beside the unit and feeds it through the draw tube. Run Lift Station XPT Cleaner to emulsify fats, oils and grease, or Odor Controller to target hydrogen sulfide and odor, so one system can address FOG or odor as the site needs.
One system, matched to the site: FOG cleaning or odor control.
4Wet-well dispensing nozzle
A hose carries the mixed solution to a dispensing nozzle in the lift station well, releasing it onto the fats, oils and grease that collect around the pumps and floats, upstream of the pumps where buildup starts.
Treatment delivered right where FOG accumulates.

Aeration for lagoons and lift stations
Windmill, solar and electric aeration that delivers the dissolved oxygen and mixing biological treatment depends on, sized for lagoons and remote sites.
Built for accountable municipal operations
Wastewater treatment decisions must be operationally practical, measurable and defensible. Koenders systems are configured around site conditions to support compliance objectives without claiming to replace required monitoring, reporting or regulatory controls.
- Supports management of TSS, FOG, sludge and odour at their biological source
- Uses aeration, mixing and beneficial biology as a low-chemical treatment approach
- Can be monitored through routine operating observations, sampling and maintenance records
- Scales from a single problem site to a coordinated municipal or service-provider program
