The Bio-Clean system has been proven over a period of almost thirty years with effective and efficient results for various wastewater challenges throughout the United States.  Utilizing proven and accepted scientific principle, Bio-Clean was developed from virgin materials mined within the Continental United States, properly ground and combined to achieve superior performance in waste water applications.

​

The superiority of the Bio-Clean system is in its ability to report to the sludge and settle it to the blanket without creating dependency within the biological population of the Plant.  It can be added in any volume without shocking the Plant, and then withdrawn from the Plant without shock. Even in cases where Bio-Clean has been used for an extended period, it can be withdrawn and even eliminated from the regimen without upsetting the Plant.  Every way you can look at it, Bio-Clean is a superior option.

​

Bio-Clean can be introduced at any point in the wastewater operation with exceptional results.  Because the crystal in Bio-Clean contains a charge on each point, the solids in waste water are naturally drawn around it, forming a floc that is so tough that it can be broken during sludge-return, re-aeration or wasting without limiting its ability to re-floc repeatedly.  Soluble solids are drawn out of solubility and locked onto the Bio-Clean molecule where they can be held indefinitely.  This results in efficient and cost-effective treatment.  Normally, our customers experience significant savings using the Bio-Clean system. 

​

When Bio-Clean is introduced, it begins to flocculate, and continues active wherever it experiences turbulence, until it is finally wasted out of the Plant.  For example, in a typical Operation, when the sludge is returned from clarification, the floc normally shears and may be lost.  However, when Bio-Clean is added, the sludge will re-floc repeatedly, even exponentially.  It will continue to floc over and over until it is wasted from the Plant.  This is because of Bio-Clean's inherent "physical" qualities and not because of any biological traits.  Because Bio-Clean doesn't dissolve, and doesn't "load-up", it has the ability to work as long as it is in the Plant, even becoming more efficient as time goes on.  In some cases, the feed-rate can be reduced after the initial challenge has been met.  The Laws of Physicals assure us of continuous and effective results.  Because of this, we can expect our results in the wastewater treatment plant to duplicate the results we experience in jar tests.

What Could You Expect From the Bio-Clean Application?

​

• Improved Clarity And Settling.  Because of the efficiency of Bio-Clean, suspended solids will be eliminated and you will see better compaction of sludge, eliminating wash-outs during high water events.  Interestingly, although Bio-Clean compacts sludge, it does not pack it.  The dynamic floc allows for ease in pumping.

• Greater Removal.  Bio-Clean will draw contaminants to the crystal, pulling the sludge down and holding it in the blanket.  Filamentous bacteria, when present, will adhere to the Bio-Clean crystal and stay there so it can be wasted out of the Plant.  Nutrients, metals, PFAS and other contaminants are drawn out of the water and held to the composition by the physical nature of the elements used to build Bio-Clean.  This response will remain intact until the sludge is wasted out of the system.

• No Adverse Effects.  Utilization of Bio-Clean does not add any toxicity or solids, will buffer the Plant to a neutral pH, and will not create dependency on Bio-Clean, allowing you to run the Plant in your most desirable range.

• Reduced chemical side-effects.  Synthetic chemical use can cause side-effects that create unintended challenges.  Some chemicals have limited shelf-life which causes them to break down over time, reducing their effectiveness and increasing manpower to deal with the spent chemicals.  The Bio-Clean System has an unlimited shelf-life, which allows for bulk deliveries without the risk of waste.

• Improved Dewatering.  The Bio-Clean crystal draws solids around it, squeezing water away, which leads to quicker dewatering.  The University of Georgia referred to this as "dewatering in process" which reduces the need for dewatering chemicals.

• Additional Advantages.  Many other benefits are often experienced with Bio-Clean usage.  We can discuss your situation in an onsite meeting.

Jar Testing

​

Prior to a decision to utilize Bio-Clean in your system, we do jar tests to determine Bio-Clean’s potential efficacy in your system.  Our jar test will reveal challenges you are facing and whether Bio-Clean is a good match to those challenges.  We come to your site and test without charge.

​

Application Approach

​

Bio-Clean was patented based on successful application of 1 ppm (8.34 lbs/mgd) at an average of 1,000 MLSS.  This means that for every 1,000 MLSS in your mixed liquor, we will normally feed 8.34 lbs of Bio-Clean for every million gallons of flow, along with a catalyst that is chosen during the jar test.  

​

Bio-Clean is insoluble.  It can be manually batch-fed once daily or fed continuously with a feed-system designed specifically for it.  This will be determined in consultation with you.

Summary and Cost

​

Cost of application, as well as specific approach to the application is determined by onsite visit to your facility, in consultation with you.

Bulk purchases are available.  Delivery costs will be determined at time of purchase.
