Case Study Summary: Ontario Clean Water Agency - New Horizon Residential Subdivision
Challenge:
The New Horizon Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) faced multiple issues due to operational conditions that differed from the initial design assumptions:
- Fats and greases were clogging the Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC), preventing proper biofilm growth.
- Persistent odor issues throughout the plant.
- Poor settleability and low TSS removal efficiency.
- Scum buildup in the final clarifier, leading to significant odor problems.
Solution:
SciCorp engineers recommended a treatment plan that involved daily applications of BIOLOGIC™ SEPTIC to improve effluent quality, reduce odors, and optimize plant performance.
Results:
- Fats and greases in the RBC were eliminated, allowing proper biofilm growth.
- Settleability issues were resolved, and TSS treatment significantly improved, resulting in better effluent quality.
- Scum buildup in the final clarifier disappeared, eliminating associated odors.
- Odor issues throughout the plant, especially during the hot summer months, were fully resolved.
How This Benefits Your Septic System:
For homeowners, BIOLOGIC™ SEPTIC offers similar advantages by breaking down fats and greases in your septic system, improving overall waste treatment, and eliminating unpleasant odors. This leads to fewer pump-outs and a more efficient, odor-free system.
