ADAPTS TO CURRENT INGROUND COLLECTION TANKS BUT CAN BE USED
WITH ABOVE-GROUND TANKS AS WELL
Bioremediation and
Multi-Media filtration has been in existence since the dawn
of time--this is how nature has cleaned the earth and its
water for millions of years.
The use of multimedia
filters in combination with bioremediation is the perfect
match. The filters will not only catch the substrates to be
consumed by the bacteria, but also the inorganic materials that
bacteria will not consume. Multimedia filters are the perfect
biomass (collection point) for bioremediation products. Sand
and many types of silt are examples of items that bugs will
not eat. Multimedia filters will remove these contaminants
for back flushing to a removal point that is most convenient.
Oils and grease must be caught in a retention area (bioreactor)
or coalescing system to allow the enzymes to break them down
and bacteria to consume them.
In the environment
and in industrial applications naturally-occurring bacteria
are not present in sufficient numbers and the proper strains
of bacteria are not always available. No amount of enzymes
(proteins that break down the substrate for the bacteria to
consume) added to the water will change the type of bacteria
present. It’s true that the proper nutrients, both micro- and
macronutrients are a great benefit to the bacteria supplementing
their diet and strengthening them. Combined with the correct
enzymes these nutrients shorten or eliminate the lag phase
in bacterial buildup (colonizing your system). Choosing a
proper Biodigester product is crucial to the success of the
system.
