RURAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Rural wastewater facilities are at the greatest risk as they struggle to find the financial resources to improve, let alone maintain an infrastructure that works.  This puts the rural residents and industry in peril and as stated by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, ” Coping with the growing needs of water and sanitation services within cities is one of the most pressing issues of this century. Sustainable, efficient, and equitable management of water in cities has never been as important as in today’s world.”

SciCorp International Inc. has been working with rural wastewater treatment facilities for over 30 years and has engineered solutions that eliminate the need for infrastructure upgrades, improve operations and reduce costs.

MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT

As urban centers continue to grow, municipalities are under greater pressure to serve more residents.  As a result, water treatment facilities are straining to keep up.  Operators must identify processes and applications that will speed up water treatment while reducing costs.

SciCorp International Inc. has been helping municipalities around the world solve these pressing issues.  BIOLOGIC® SR2 is a natural booster that has been proven through independent laboratories and environmental organizations to speed up digestion by over 25%, increase flow, eliminate odors and reduce costs.

INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT

Many industries are dependent on processes that produce wastewater.  Attempts have been made to minimize the discharge of wastewater, however, most cannot.  As a result, a company can pay millions of dollars in fees to municipalities for their water discharge.

SciCorp International Inc. helps reduce those fees substantially while improving water effluent, protecting the environment, and reducing the strain on municipal systems.

Proven in the most severe cases to completely handle odor control while ensuring that the natural process of decomposition is accelerated and remains healthy. Our odor control chemicals significantly reduce the generation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide gas in anaerobic systems and lagoons.

The presence of the product at very low concentrations creates conditions that allow methane producing bacteria to outcompete hydrogen sulfide producers for available carbon and in addition to block the activity of the enzyme urease, preventing urea in the waste from being converted to volatile ammonia. In addition, this process causes the urea to remain in the biosolids which enhances the fertilizer value of the remaining biosolids.

Lagoons and Oxidization Ditches

• Eliminate odors and control floating solids and pest/fly infestation.
• Eliminate expensive dredging and sludge disposal charges.
• Accelerate removal efficiencies for BOD, COD, SS & P.
• Exceed wastewater discharge criteria set by MOE.
• Eliminate need to expand wastewater systems
• Increase usage capabilities of current systems

The problem of Landfill odor control is an issue and operators are constantly on the defense. Neighboring communities demand changes that will eliminate the odors that their local landfills produce.  The use of SciCorp’s BIOLOGIC® SR2 has proven to successfully do just that.

BIOLOGIC® SR2 offers landfill operators a natural solution for landfill odor control related problems by providing immediate and long lasting odor control using advanced odor control technologies.

BIOLOGIC™ SR2’s all natural 3-in-1 formulation combines the effectiveness of three odor eliminating technologies including air neutralization, masking and biological odor elimination, into one super concentrated odor control product that can immediately eliminate odor on contact and help prevent it from returning.

Onsite Wastewater Odor and Performance

Wastewater odor control and performance issues are major concerns when communities are seeking effective wastewater treatment solutions.  At SciCorp, we help the engineers that design and build these onsite wastewater odor control treatment solutions by supplying BIOLOGIC® SR2 to help rid the systems of odors and make their systems work better, faster and more efficiently.

The Need for Onsite Wastewater Treatment

Water has become one of earth’s greatest challenges.  As more countries grapple with the issues of population growth and the inadequate or nonexistent infrastructure, it’s becoming clear that the traditional solutions are failing.  What is working though is decentralized water management with wastewater odor management and performance tools.

Decentralized wastewater systems support growing populations and are not only a great solution for improving water quality and providing treatment capacity, they are environmentally superior on many levels.  Often decentralized systems are used to enhance existing centralized systems as a means of supporting infrastructure overload and supporting a strong water reuse program.  However, because these systems are often located adjacent to residential properties, effective wastewater odor control at these facilities becomes critical in order to gain community acceptance for these facilities.

In an article written by Victor D’Amato, Jeff Moeller, and Elizabeth Striano called Rethinking Decentralized Systems and published in the Water Environment and Technology Magazine, the authors state, “just as the economic and environmental demands associated with an aging national water infrastructure system have grown, it has become apparent that decentralized systems also need to be properly managed as critical wastewater assets over the long term. Additionally, a number of leading practitioners have recognized that decentralization will be a critical element of more sustainable, paradigm-shifting urban and suburban water infrastructure systems of the future because of their various “triplebottom-line” economic, environmental, and social benefits.”

Onsite Wastewater Odor Solutions

The solution we provide communities using onsite wastewater systems requires no special handling and very limited, if any capital costs.  BIOLOGIC® SR2 is added to the inflow to the system, or it can be surface applied when needed, in dosages recommended by a SciCorp application specialist.  Wastewater odor does not have to be a problem, especially when the solution also enhances performance.

Its Easier To Get a Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System

The technical sophistication and costs associated with conventional decentralized wastewater systems can be too much for many small and medium enterprises and housing estates.  These conventional systems often require high energy inputs for operation and rely on extensive maintenance services to ensure continuous operation.  However, solutions exist that both minimize the costs, eliminate the energy needs and reduce the maintenance requirements so decentralized wastewater treatment systems are now a better solution.

We work with engineering partners that specialize in designing and building economical, powerful and ecofriendly decentralized wastewater treatment systems. By incorporating SciCorp’s BIOLOGIC® SR2, these systems not only breakdown solids faster and cleaner, they eliminate the need for energy usage and heavy maintenance.

FOG: Fats, Oils and Grease

Restaurants and Kitchens that deal with fats, oils and grease (FOG) are constantly having to contend with smelling grease traps, frequent pump outs and clogged pipes. In more and more jurisdictions, municipalities are placing user surcharges and or restrictions on business that release excess FOG and high strength organic waste into the sewer.

SciCorp BIOLOGIC® SR2 is a product with a unique formulation that naturally and rapidly breaks down FOG and slime, allowing systems to operate at full capacity, while eliminating the odours that drive customers and employees away.

Each year millions of tons of of fats, oils and grease (FOG) flow down the drains of commercial businesses. In fact, it doesn’t always flow. FOG can clog pipes and treatment screens, causing backups, overflows and odor problems. FOG that makes it through to the ocean can deplete oxygen, damaging fish and other organisms that inhabit the environment. Not to mention that it takes additional energy for treatment plants to break down excess FOG entering the system.

Quickly and naturally breakdown fats, oils and grease with BIOLOGIC® SR2

BIOLOGIC® SR2 is a natural micronutrient supplement containing a proprietary blend of natural biodegradable vitamins and trace mineral specifically engineered to stimulate desirable, naturally occurring bacteria present in grease traps to break down fats, oils and greases and inhibit odor producing bacteria.

Easy Treatment

Using BIOLOGIC® SR2  in your grease trap will break down fats, oils and greases, reduce odor, reduce pump-out frequency and improve effluent quality by reducing BOD, TSS and FOG concentrations in effluent discharge to the sewer.

Under typical grease trap conditions, these micronutrients are frequently the limiting factor for the growth and development of desirable bacteria.  With the addition of BIOLOGIC® SR2 biological pathways are no longer inhibited due to the lack of essential micronutrients and as a result, biological activity and metabolism is substantially increased while at the same time odor producing bacteria are inhibited.

Lagoon odor control and sludge create the biggest challenges for their owners. SciCorp has developed a unique blend of micronutrients and minerals that amplify the natural digestion activity so that odors magically disappear and solve sludge reduction issues . Lagoon odor control all starts with evaluating the issues and seeing which odor control chemicals / H2S odor control chemicals are required to correct the lagoon odor control issue.

Why pay thousands and thousands of dollars to get handle your lagoon odor control in your pond or lagoon when you can naturally give it a boost and let it take care of itself?

Just look at how SciCorp’s BIOLOGIC® SR2 magically transformed this almost dead lagoon into a thriving and productive one for Erin Farms.

The unique blend of micronutrients and minerals gave the lagoon the boost they needed to naturally take care of themselves.  So effective is the treatment that dredging is not required, odors are gone and the lagoon is better than ever.

Anaerobic, Facultative and Aerated Wastewater Lagoons

The use of Wastewater Lagoons is one of the oldest and simplest ways to treat wastewater, yet a wastewater lagoon system consists of complex chemical, biological and physical processes that can produce significant problems for  owners and neighbors.

Lagoon Odors

A major advantage of an Anaerobic Wastewater Lagoon is that it is capable of decomposing organic matter using inexpensive infrastructure without significant energy input, such as aeration.  However, anaerobic wastewater lagoons have the potential to generate significant odors if not managed properly.  Objectionable odors from lagoons that are associated with hydrogen sulfide and ammonia often are disturbing to on-site workers as well as neighboring residences and businesses.

Facultative Wastewater Lagoons stabilize organic matter using both aerobic and anaerobic processes.  Facultative wastewater lagoons generate odors during spring turnover and on an ongoing basis if they are overloaded.

Aerated Wastewater Lagoons require aeration to treat wastewater.  Aerated lagoons generate lagoon odors when the dissolved oxygen levels in the lagoon are not sufficient to meet the demand of the organic load in the wastewater.

When odors are generated at anaerobic, facultative or aerated wastewater lagoons, odor control can become a challenging, costly and maintenance heavy process. In some cases odor complaints can be so severe that regulatory authorities become involved, impacting business operations through fines and/or operation restrictions.

Sludge/Biosolids

Sludge/Biosolids build up occurs in many anaerobic and facultative wastewater lagoons.  This reduces the treatment effectiveness of the wastewater lagoon and eventually causes increases in ammonia, BOD, COD and TSS in effluent concentrations.  The conventional method for solving this problem is to dredge the wastewater lagoon on a regular basis.  Dredging is laborious and costly process that is highly disruptive in terms of periodic loss of wastewater lagoon function and generation of significant odors.  Dredging also generates significant volumes of sludge/biosolids that is costly to dewater, transport and dispose of.

Dissolved Oxygen Levels

When facultative and aerated wastewater lagoons are overloaded they typically generate odor because dissolved oxygen levels are too low.  The conventional solution to this problem is to attempt to deliver more oxygen to the wastewater, which is costly in terms of energy and infrastructure.

A Highly Effective, Proven and Affordable Solution For Lagoon Odor and Sludge/Biosolids Accumulation

There is an alternative to paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for dredging operations, odor control measures (that don’t really work) and increased aeration.  The solution allows you to naturally eliminate odors and sludge at a much lower cost with no disruption to business operations, while increasing the treatment capacity of your anaerobic facultative and/or aerated wastewater lagoons.

BIOLOGIC® SR2 is a natural product that consists of proprietary plant-based organic micronutrients that stimulate specific aerobic, anaerobic and facultative bacteria species causing competitive inhibition of sulphur reducing and other odor producing bacteria.  The active ingredients within BIOLOGIC® SR2 allow methane (methane is odorless) and carbon dioxide producing bacteria  to outcompete hydrogen sulfide producers for available carbon.   This prevents odors by limiting the generation of hydrogen sulfide and other odorous mercaptains.  In addition, the ingredients in the product have been shown to block the activity of the enzyme urease, which is a necessary component of the ammonia conversion process. The blockage of the urease enzyme prevents urea in the waste from being converted to volatile ammonia.

When you use BIOLOGIC® SR2 in your wastewater lagoon at very low concentrations, odor will be reduced in a matter of days and you will observe a signficant reduction in the thickness of the bottom sludge/biosolids layer over time.  In addition, in a short period of time, any crust, biosolids or fats and grease that is floating on the surface of your wastewater lagoon will be reduced and eventually eliminated.  Noticeble fine bubbling that looks like raindrops will be observed on the surface of the wastewater lagoon (indicative of biosolids digestion) and the clarity of the water and effluent will be significantly improved. The dissolved oxygen content in your facultative and/or aerated lagoons will increase and the overall organic load capacity of your lagoon systems will also increase.

Clean Septic Systems

Once a problem becomes obvious, it’s too late for any simple solution, and fixing big septic system problems often requires thousands of dollars worth of parts and labor. Fortunately, a little maintenance can go a long way in avoiding problems.

SciCorp’s BIOLOGIC® technology works aggressively to boost the activity in your septic systems to ensure that waste is broken down faster and more effectively.  As a result, septic systems using SciCorp Septic  work better, last longer and require fewer flushes.  Additionally, because the septic systems are more productive, odors are non-existent.

Reduce The Sludge and Improve Water Flow in your Septic Systems with BIOLOGIC® SR2

The more use a system gets, the greater the accumulation of sludge.  When commercial septic systems are over utilized, there is a great danger that the existing septic system could quickly clog and render the process unproductive.  BIOLOGIC® SR2 allows you to increase the productivity of your septic system without having to pay for costly upgrades.

How Septic Systems Fail

Simply put, septic systems fail because they cannot breathe or they cannot keep up to the demand

Your septic tank is full of anaerobic bacteria and facultative bacteria that slowly consume the sewage that then gets carried out into the absorption bed.  It’s in the absorption beds that the remaining sewage collects and waits for the aerobic bacteria to complete the digestive process.  If the anaerobic bacteria cannot keep up with the demand or chemicals have been introduced to deplete the anaerobic bacteria, sewage does not get consumed and quickly collects and clogs the system.

How BIOLOGIC® SR2 Works For Septic Systems

SciCorp BIOLOGIC® stimulates the facultative and anaerobic bacterial populations in the septic tank supporting growth of both types of bacteria and causing them to more aggressively consume the sewage before it gets to the absorption beds.  A simple monthly addition of 100 ml of SciCorp BIOLOGIC® a month can be enough to get your septic system healthy and productively.
