"BIO-BLOCK"TM

BIOLOGICAL PRODUCT BULLETIN

"BIO-BLOCK"TM is a solid, bacterial laden, brick for use in degrading organic waste in water treatment systems and Lift Stations. The safe, naturally occurring bacteria are present in high numbers to handle difficult organic problems. The unique brick will gradually dissolve over a 30 day period which allows for continuous treatment and degradation of waste. The naturally occurring bacteria contained in the block will reduce odor, sludge, fats, oils and grease buildup.

Biological products offer a more efficient alternative to chemicals. They do not just move the grease downstream, possibly causing blockage or problems in the wastewater treatment plant. They actually degrade the grease and organics at the source.  The bacteria tend to also build up a minor slime coating in the pipes downstream that help to keep grease from building up in the pipes. This keeps maintenance costs down, less jetting and less problems in the wastewater treatment plant with filamentous bulking.

ADVANTAGES

* Allows for 24 hour continuous treatment of waste, not just periodic dosage

* Greatly reduces labor time needed for dosage maintenance

* Reduces hydrogen sulfide & sludge buildup

* Easy to use

* Significantly reduces malodors

* Cost effective & reduces the need for pump-outs

* Breaks down fat & grease buildup and maintains lift station efficiency

* Eliminates need for metering pump - no initial or maintenance cost

* Eliminates need for personnel to dose other types of treatments daily or weekly

* Automates waste water system

Application Rates

"BIO-BLOCK"TM gives round the clock waste degradation treatment with a simple, easy to use system. Simply suspend the block into the treatment area, allowing the brick to be placed just away from the higher flow areas. The block will dissolve over a 30-90 day period as the waste water flow washes over it. Higher flow rates will result in faster degradation of the brick.

DOSAGE RATE GUIDELINES

2 Pound Brick 15-25 Gal. Trap 35-60 Days

5 Pound Brick 50-150 Gal Trap 45-75 Days

10 Pound Brick 250-500 Gal Trap 60-90 Days

30 Pound Brick 1000-2000 Gal Trap 100-120 Days

Degradation Flow Rates when using the 10lb Block (most common) based upon flow and size of lift stations:

150 KGD...............................................................90+ days

250-500 KGD........................................................70-85 days

500K-1 MGD.........................................................60-75 days

1-1.5 MGD.............................................................55-65 days

1.5 – 2 MGD..........................................................35-55 days

Higher flow rates or extended degradation may require larger size blocks, ie. 14lb-30lb

PACKAGING

"BIO-BLOCK"TM Each is packed 4 bricks per case. Bio-Block is a patented product.

Products for use in Wastewater Applications for Bioengineering and Bioaugmentation

Holding Tank Treatment in Pakistan

Capacity 1m3/Hr

pH 2.8

Temperature 90-95 degree c

Acetaldehyde 2300ppm

EG (mono-ethylene glycol) 150000ppm

2,methyle 1-1, 3 dioxane 260ppm

Dioxane 140ppm

Acetic Acid 110ppm

COD varies from 20000ppm to 30000ppm

Target COD is 10000ppm.

This tank has two sections, with approximate holding time of 55 hours. Its pH is adjusted by using caustic to the range pH 7.0. And temperature is also lowered by air stripping before hanging the brick. This also helps to remove VOC’s from the wastewater. . The retention time of the tank is about 55 hours.

Influent COD was 39000 at the start. After hanging Biobricks in the system, effluent COD was 19200 for the outlet in only 24 hours, a reduction of 51%. Nutrients were not added until the second day, and the effluent dropped again to 15380. Third day- 13000 from a start of 3900 in a tank in such a short time!!!!.

Additional pH adjustment and mixing, along with nutrient additions were recommended, but for first time results, this is actually quite amazing!

Grease Control and  Lift-station Maintenance

Lift stations are notorious for filling up with debris, solids and tons of grease. The grease can become hard, form a shelf or ledge, or if too much, almost create a solid layer.  By using bacterial products to clean the grease, a long term solution is established for the lift station. The bacteria also benefit the pipes downstream as well as the wastewater treatment plant.

The bacteria actually consume the grease as a food source and permanently remove the grease.  Low maintenance dosages can then be used to keep the grease from building up and causing future problems.

This is a 5 Million Gallon a Day lift station that was filled with years of grease build-up.

     

There were thick solids build up in the corner

Here is how it looks now after using bacterial products to remove the grease.

  Except for a little bit of solids in the upper left corner, most of the grease and solids build-up are gone

 

 

 

 

Here is the upper right corner- clean and free flowing water as opposed to the above picture prior to addition of our biological products. The grease ledge is gone, the solids and chucks of grease are dissolved and there is circulation of water  and better mixing.
