If you work in wastewater treatment, you are familiar with one or more of the following issues: • Buildups from low flows and Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) causing clogs and Sanitary System Overflow (SS0) • Pungent and toxic odors resulting in resident complaints • Aeration’s energy inefficiency and the toll hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) takes on equipment • Frequent, costly capital expenditure (CAPEX) upgrades • Permit restrictions and capacity limits conflicting with community expansion and development • Increasing operating expenses (OPEX) for routine procedures, including biosolid processing and disposal Bioaugmentation has been an industry standard “solution” to these problems for years. If you have tried it in the past with less than stellar results, you know the traditional, one-size-fits-all approach is not always sufficient. But today’s technology can achieve better results at lower costs. EnBiorganic Technologies has real, revolutionary solutions for wastewater treatment challenges. Our disruptive, patent-pending proprietary technology custom grows live bacteria — in active and adapted states — for each specific wastewater environment. Our EBS-Di system is compact, compatible with existing infrastructure, environmentally beneficial, and requires no additional work on the part of wastewater treatment personnel — all without adding to CAPEX or OPEX. In one performance trial, a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) decreased a 40-year buildup of sludge in its lagoon by 67.5% — in only 10 days. To learn more about the technology that is turning the wastewater treatment industry upside down, visit EnBiorganic Technologies at enbiorganic.com today.
