Dramatic decreases in E.coli levels and noxious odours
Project Description
Background
Bio Natural Solutions, was approached in March 2017, by an egg processing facility, that was experiencing odour issues emanating from its waste water treatment plant.
E.coli levels in the final effluent, were also well over the levels stipilated by the EPA for irrigation.
At the time of inspection, they were spending $30,000 p/month on a biological treatment product, for little or no benefit.
Approach
Having inspected the system, Bio Natural Soloutions ascertained that the system was a suitable candidate, for treatment with one of its bacterial products and upon further analysis Bactech 362 was selected.
A weekly dosing schedule was proposed and agreed upon.
A recommendation was made and implemented, that aeration be added to four of the 16 tanks in the tank farm.
It was also agreed that dosing of the previous biological product would cease.
Outcome
Within seven days the noxious odours had been eliminated
Within four weeks the E.coli had been reduced by 98.5%
