Water Treatment

In the United States, the treatment and disposal of waste water became a health concern in major cities in the early 1900's. In 1972, the Federal Clean Water Act became law and established a far-reaching program for the control of pollution in U.S. Waterways. Specific areas of waste water treatment over the past 30 years have been altered due to changes in waste water characteristics, increases in industrial waste pre-treatment, new treatment processes, environmental and energy concerns as well as issues of land treatment and disposal. 

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency established acceptable levels of treatment prior to surface water discharge for each waste water plant in use. Each one of the permitted plants is monitored for compliance. Treatment facilities range from small flow stabilization ponds to new sophisticated high energy facilities.

Treatment plant optimization has become more costly and more complex in solving specific problems addressing various industries. No two waste treatment plants and/or problems are alike - each one has specific characteristics and a design regime to meet discharge goals. Therefore products that target these issues are needed. This is why the BioRem-2000 Water Treatment™ products were developed. 

In addition, variances in waste water temperatures and pH have a wider operating range with BioRem-2000 Water Treatment™ products than with conventional biological parameters. Other process improvements with BioRem-2000 Water Treatment™ products are energy reduction, lower maintenance costs and chemical elimination, especially aluminum sulfate, ferric chloride and other hazardous chemicals. 

Most of our bacterial products are designed to solve a specific problem or task. In designing a product, specific bacteria are selected based upon their natural abilities to degrade and digest a particular organic waste. Although we offer a full array of standardized solutions, we also offer custom products for more complex waste water treatment problems. Even if we do not have a standard formulation for your problem, we can develop the best tailor-made solution for your specific needs.
