This study highlights the outcomes of a bioaugmentation project carried out at prominent textile company based in Surabaya, Java, Indonesia. The primary focus of this study was to address challenges related to biological treatment efficiency of the wastewater treatment plant. Faced with persistent difficulties in attaining optimal biological treatment, the facility extensively depended on chemical treatment strategies to attain desired effluent clarity. Prior to Bioaugmentation, it was observed that the Total Suspended Solids (TSS) in the Clarifier Tank averaged about 300 mg/l. This observation indicated that only approximately 10-15% removal occurred following the biological treatment and settling process in the clarifier. The findings of this study highlights the efficacy of bioaugmentation in enhancing settling rates within the clarifier, thereby contributing to an overall improvement in the plant’s operational efficiency
