Aster Bio
About
Aster Bio, based in Houston, Texas, combines bioaugmentation products with molecular diagnostic services for biological wastewater treatment optimization. Founded by wastewater biotechnology specialists with over 30 years of field experience, the company develops microbial blends targeting specific treatment challenges alongside its proprietary Environmental Genomics platform for DNA-level biomass monitoring. The product line includes AB10 for hydrocarbon reduction and stormwater treatment, AB20 for CAFO manure and liquid waste, AB Biopolymer Blend for enhancing floc formation while reducing chemical polymer demand, AB Nitrozyme concentrated AOB and NOB slurry for nitrification recovery, AB S10 sulfur-oxidizing bacteria for H2S and reduced sulfide control, and AB Munizyme, AB Munizyme Liquid, and AB Munizyme LS for municipal wastewater and collection system FOG reduction. Specialized formulations include AB Lignozyme for pulp and paper BOD removal, AB Oleozyme for dairy and meat processing FOG, AB Petrozyme and AB Petrozyme Liquid for petroleum hydrocarbon bioremediation, and AB Phenozyme for high-COD industrial waste with phenol and solvent removal. The Environmental Genomics service provides 16S rRNA Microbial Community Analysis results in 5 to 7 business days and qPCR testing with 24 to 48 hour turnaround for rapid biomass diagnostics.
Key Products
Powdered microbial product that reduces hydrocarbons, improves water clarity, reduces sludge in stormwater retention ponds, and prevents algae blooms naturally.
Powdered microbial product for treatment of manure and liquid wastes from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO).
Powdered product that produces biological polymers to enhance floc formation and density, lowering chemical polymer dosage requirements and reducing effluent TSS.
Powdered microbial/enzyme product that enhances BOD5 and TSS removal in pulp and paper wastewater, effective across wide pH and temperature ranges.
Powdered microbial product that degrades all components of municipal wastewater including FOG, surfactants, and household chemicals.
Liquid version of AB Munizyme designed for metering pump application in collection systems and wastewater treatment units, compatible with automated dosing.
Liquid microbial formulation with added enzymes and biodegradable surfactants that reduces grease buildup in collection systems and lift stations.
Concentrated slurry of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) for establishing or restoring nitrification in activated sludge systems.
Powdered microbial product for dairy and meat-processing wastewaters that targets proteins and FOG while maintaining conditions suitable for AOB cultures.
Powdered microbial product for bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons including crude oil, fuels, and BTEX in soil, groundwater, and wastewater.
Liquid microbial formulation for convenient application in crude oil and fuel bioremediation of contaminated soil and water.
Powdered microbial product for high-COD industrial wastewater that removes phenol, BTEX, naphthalene, PNAs, sulfides, alcohols, and solvents.
Powdered sulfur-oxidizing bacteria product that oxidizes H2S and total reduced sulfides, reducing VOCs and volatile organic acids in wastewater and collection systems.
DNA-based 16S rRNA profiling service that identifies which microorganisms are present in wastewater biomass and their relative frequency, providing results in 5-7 business days with expedited 1-2 day service available.
Quantitative PCR testing service that tracks specific bacterial strains in wastewater treatment systems, providing results within 24-48 hours for rapid diagnostic monitoring.
