Valley Gate Vineyard Wastewater Pond State regulations require BOD* to be < 50 mg/L before wastewater release/reuse BOD was >230 mg/L before treatment with AquaBella 2 weeks after AquaBella treatment, BOD was 8 mg/L 2 months after treatment, BOD remained low (10 mg/L)

Reata Vineyard Wastewater Pond Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) was > 850 mg/L before AquaBella treatment (Sept. 28) AquaBella was added on Oct weeks after AquaBella treatment (Oct. 27), BOD was 160 mg/L 2 months after treatment, BOD was 43 mg/L, and Dissolved Oxygen (DO) increased from 2 mg/L to 9 mg/L pH remained stable throughout the treatment process
