| When
ECSP engineers began to develop an advanced grease reduction and odor control
solution for lift stations, it had to meet tough criteria. It must be easy
to use, effective and economical. The result was Bac-Block, the most efficient
formulation on the market today.
Bac-Block
is a commercially pure culture of Bacillus subtillus dispersed within
a hardened block of inert, inorganic soluble salt. This grease-hungry strain
gets to work to reduce the volume of grease in the lift station, reproducing
carbon dioxide, water and bacteria.
ECSP engineers
tailored Bac-Block to the special demands of lift station operation. Most
lift stations do not have readily available power for automatic injection
of bacterial solutions, and must rely on personnel to inject a measured
amount on a regular basis. This method is not only time- and labor-intensive,
but may not dependably supply a readily available population of bacteria
within the local ecosystem.
Submerged
inside the wet well just below the low water point and in the path of the
influent waste stream, Bac-Block ensures a consistent, slow release of
the bacillus without intervention. At a rate of one block per 100,000 gpd,
the Bac-Block will remain operational for at least a month. Combinations
of Bac-Blocks can be used depending on the flow through the well. Initial
grease control takes about four to six weeks. Maintenance is fast and easy
-- simply change out the Bac-Blocks once a month for dependable long-term
grease control.
The bacteria
in Bac-Blocks are not a threat to human health. This organism has been
used in the industry for more than half a century. Screening ensures that
no adventitious pathogens are present. Bac-Blocks are certified free of
E. coli. |
