Throughout the course of our installations within water treatment plants (WWTP), operators did not experience any changes in effluent quality, plant processes and dynamics, and biological treatment methods

  • Because fat, oil and grease (FOG) particles are increasingly digestible as their size is reduced, WWTP bacterial populations are balanced.
    • Nocardia and filamentous organism growth is prevented
    • “Bad” bacteria will no longer grow at the expense of “good” bacteria

A full description of all measured parameters, including nutrient content, oxygen demand, pH, and solids, are found in the reports available for download.

THE SCIENCE

MAINTAIN WWTP PROCESSES

  • Increased digestibility of PM-FOG particles
    • Increased activated sludge production
    • Less dissolved oxygen (DO) needed
  • Lowered energy costs
    • DO blowers run less frequently
    • Pumps run at increased efficiency due to effective increase in pipe diameter
  • Reduced plant maintenance (saves man-hours)
    • Fewer pumping and cleaning actions due to FOG buildup
    • No delays due to emergency pumping during equipment breakdowns
  • Reduced odor related to H2S production from slimes and FOG
