Truck Wash Wastewater Pit
February 18, 2018
Archaea Biocatalyst Canister treatment started.
April 24, 2018
After implementation of Archea Biocatalyst Canister treatment. Look at the difference in water clarity!
April 24, 2018
In less than 60 days our Biocatalyst completely transformed the waste water pond!
Microbial Treatment of Refinery Wastewater Pond
June, 1996
A Biocatalyst Dispersal Unit is being lowered into an open top 100 bbl. tank. Once operational, the microbial solution will flow at 8 GPH rate into the tank where additions of hydrocarbon consuming bacteria and blended nutrients are added before the blended fluid enters the oil/water separator. It then flows into wastewater evaporation pond.
June 1, 1996
A small amount of emulsified oil and benzene enter the aerated wastewater evaporation pond.
July 8, 1996
The oil residue is consumed by the microbes in a matter of hours.
August 14, 1996
The area around the pond tested extremely low readings of benzene.
Microbial Treatment of Hog Waste Lagoon
July, 1996
A small 15”x6’ Biocatalyst Dispersal Unit was set next to a water vent pipe at a hog barn in Southwest Kansas. The microbial solution was added continuously with the incoming waste effluent at a 4 gallons per hour rate. Effluent from four different barns was going into this lagoon.
This sludge basin lagoon had a 10” to 14” crust build up around the outer edge with an estimated 4” crust in the center.
After 53 days of microbial solution being added, the crust had been reduced to almost nothing. Previous odors were eliminated.
Microbial Treatment of Water Evaporation Pit
April, 1996 In Northwest New Mexico – An oily water evaporation pit was treated with a 75 gallon microbial solution. The mixture contained biocatalyst, hydrocarbon consuming bacteria and blended nutrients.
May 21, 1996 – Degradation of the oil can be seen with the tan colored skim.
August 12, 1996 – Degradation of the oily waster continues.
September 22, 1996 – Oil waste is starting to form “cow patties.”
October 22, 1996 – Six months after treatment, the oil waste residue is almost gone.
Microbial Treatment of South Evaporation Pond
May 4, 1996 – Prior to First Treatment. Total suspended solids = 174 ppm. Treated pond with 31 bbls of microbial solution. Calculated volume of water in pond – 42,000 bbls.
May 6, 1996 – Total suspended solids = 68 ppm. 31 bbls of microbial solution is being sprayed into the pond. All treatments were applied in the same manner.
May 7, 1996 – Final treatments added to pond. Total of 124 bbls of microbial solution was added to the pond.
May 8, 1996 – Total suspended solids = 34 ppm. Aerations system turned off
May 10, 1996 – Total suspended solids = 27 ppm
May 13, 1996 – Total suspended solids = 18 ppm. 89.6% reduction in 10 days. No odors emitting from pond. Aeration system turned back on. Started transferring cleaned fluid from pond.
