The paper focuses upon modern methods of wastewater purification in the oil-and-fat industry. The researchers draw attention to the fact that if wastewater of food production is not properly purified it starts to decompose and extricate highly toxic substances. They further describe intensification methods dividing them into two groups and discuss pros and cons of the reagent method of wastewater treatment. Significant advantages of probiotic agents in contrast to the reagent treatment method are revealed. Probiotic agents for wastewater treatment are then proposed for use. It is stressed that is a relatively new method and it has not yet been widely studied. The article describes probiotic products composition and their action. It also explains the impact of various groups of bacteria at the stages of mechanical wastewater treatment in anaerobiosis and aerobic biological treatment. The researchers examine variants of probiotics addition and consider advantages and disadvantages of this method. To compare the results, it is proposed to use probiotic agents at municipal sewage treatment plants and at the oil-and-fat production enterprises. These experiments of probiotics application show the potential of their use for intensifying wastewater treatment processes, reducing the level of unpleasant odours and improving sanitary safety of sewage facilities.
