1145 Algae and Duckweed Control

Problem: A campground in Illinois was having consistant algae and duckweed problems in their lake - an important campground attraction. The lake would take on a muddy appearance with little visibility below the surface of the water. The banks were being clogged with algae, duckweed and other vegetation.

1138 Anaerobic Digesters

Problem: FOG waste poses a challenge for most municipal wastewater collection systems and treatment plants. Although fats, oils and grease will biodegrade in an anaerobic digester, high concentrations will tend to accumulate on the sludge surface, lowering digestion efficiency.

1137 Side by Side Trial - Anaerobic Digesters

Problem: A municipality in Pennsylvania running a 13 mgd oxygen activated sludge system was having problems in their treatment plant. Gas production was low, and the anaerobic digesters had lost their efficiency. The plant needed a product that would work to combat the FOG buildup in the digesters.

1115 Small Holder Piggery Problems

Up to that time he had been running his waste wash water into a large septic tank from where some soaked into the soil, and the surplus was pumped via a 75mm plastic pipe some 500m to a neighbour's kikuyu meadow. Increasingly, bordering smallholders complained of pig scented water in their boreholes, and of an escalating porcine reek being wafted upon the fickle breeze.

1114 Manure Composting

Problem: A university study was conducted at a hog farm in Europe in 1996. The volume of waste produced by the 800 head of hog farm was 600m3 and initially, the manure pit at the farm contained a slurry level of 10cm. The study was conducted over a four week period during which two groups were simultaneously tested. The first group was a control group, and the second group was treated with BIO-SYSTEMS Corporation's specially formulated blend of microbes, stimulants and nutrients.

Grease build-up had accumulated in the lift stations and a white filamentous film had developed on the RBC's. The plant settled poorly and there was a great deal of foaming on the aerobic digestors. A $110,000 project was planned to expand the sludge drying beds and sludge storage area.
