Powerful organic catalyst formulated for wastes such as fats, oils and greases (FOG)
SOLUTIONS SOLUTIONS
Bio-Organic Catalyst (BOC’s) improve environmental waste treatment in a number
APPLICATIONS of critical maintenance and processing areas. Key attributes that make BOC’s
uniquely attractive are its ability to elevate the level of dissolved oxygen (DO)
in solution, regardless of aeration technique; ability to solubilise the molecular
OUTCOMES structure of organic wastes, including the insoluble fats, oils, and grease (FOGs)
components; eliminating chronic and dangerous volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), such as ammonia and H2S gases; and the ability to enhance biological
RESEARCH PAPERS nitrogen removal (BNR) systems.
Sewers: Maintaining aerobic environments within collection systems is essential to avoid chronic service problems and dangerous
conditions due to hazardous gases, which are also the source of most public complaints. Eliminating slime layers and FOG clogging are
excellent maintenance applications for BOC’s. They can also be used to increase dissolved oxygen levels within gravity and forced mains,
PREV as well as other aerobically compromised parts of the system. NEXT
Aeration Systems: BOC’s has been shown to make a substantial improvement in aeration
systems through raising dissolved oxygen levels, increasing gas transfer rates, and improving
bioprocesses. Improving aeration system performance can lower energy requirements (up
to 30%), along with acting as a method for maintaining higher dissolved oxygen (DO) levels
during heavier loading periods, which provides operators with a means to better manage
optimum microbiological activities.
Sludge Processing: Processing of bio-solids can be substantially improved with addition
of BOC’s. Sludge volumes have been significantly reduced (up to 40%) while methane
production quantities were maintained in full-scale applications. Subsequent treatment and
handling of bio-solids can be improved due to reduction in odour and better bio-processing
of the bacterial components.
