START THE TREATMENT TO CREATE THE AEROBIC CONDITION WHERE THE WASTE IS ENTERED INTO THE SEWAGE SYSTEM. THE AEROBIC STATE WOULD PROVIDE LESS CORROSION, REDUCED SOLIDS AT THE PROCESSING PLANT, LESS STOPPAGE, LESS ODOR AND COULD ALLOW LESS FLUSHING. | |

The Problem defined. Please note that this is a proposed system and application. At this time the hardware necessary is only proposed and is not planned to be manufactured or sold by the Ecology Company. The Ecology Company does not plan or wish to become involved in the business of installing or servicing the proposed system. Our interest is in producing and selling the Bio Stimulants used in the process.
The basic problem is simply defined as that sewage from the source is in the anaerobic or septic condition. The sewage or bio mass in the anaerobic produces sulfides that in turn produce the foul odor H2S gas and the H2S gas generates acids that destroy the sewage collection system.
A second part of the problem is that the anaerobic bio mass retains a high percentage of the solids. The FOG (Fats Oils and Grease) along with the solids and anaerobic slime (biomat) tend to clog the collection system.
The most oblivious problem is the hazardous and foul smelling H2S gas that everyone wishes would go away.

The Solution
The simple and easy solution to the massive waste water processing problems that the majority of urban communities are now facing is to convert the bio mass or sewage to the aerobic condition at the source.
Converting the bio mass to the aerobic state at the source would:

Each and every private (Home) or public Restroom would have a injection system incorporated before or into the existing flush valve so that at each flush, the desired dosage of BioAerobic 50 would be injected into the flush water. A self contained small tank with a valve that is operated by the water flow or the water level in the flush system would provide several months of Bio Stimulant without a modification of the flush valve. The dosing device (The BioAerobic 50 venturi and Valve), I am sure that we can come up with a better name) could be fabricated from plastics that does not require maintenance and will last many years. The storage tank (The BioAerobic 50 Tank) would be fabricated from plastic and could available in various sizes. For a home installation, the tank for BioAerobic 50 could be placed below and close to the toilet flush tank about or smaller than one gallon container could be placed inside the flush tank. A small flexible plastic tube is use to connect the tank to the injection device/valve. |
We found that injecting the BioAerobic 50 worked without a problem. The injecting of a dye to color the waste was found to require more liquid transfer that is necessary for the Bio Stimulant. To get a dark blue or green color required much more dye than the the very small dosage required for the Bio Stimulant. Possible solutions for this problem are: A stronger coloring dye than a food color dye could be used if a biodegradable stronger dye is available.
Mix the BioAerobic 50 with a dye and increase the dosage rate to get the desired color
Design a special injection device that would inject the dye separate form the Bio Stimulant.

Facilities that use the Sloan flush type flush system (No flush tank)will require a new pipe that connects from the flush valve to the toilet be installed. The new connecting pipe will be modified to contain the venturi device that will suck the BioAerobic 50 from the storage tank.
The Solution for Septic tank systems
The BioAerobic 50 system should be installed on every sewage producing device that leads to a septic system for processing. The constant dosing available with this system will eliminate many of the problem associated with septic systems. The one big exception, heavy use of a biocide will not be corrected with the injection of a bio stimulant.

A SAMPLE CALCULATION OF THE REQUIRED DOSAGEThe BioAerobic 50 tank will require refills as necessary.
The dosing for (for long term retention of the Aerobic condition) for residential sewage is about one hundred parts of BioAerobic 50 to one million parts of sewage. BioAerobic 50.
The average dosage per flush could be estimated as follows.
The average older flush tank is about five gallons on older toilets. Newer toilets use about two Gallons more or less. The newer low flush toilets sometimes require more than a single flush.
The sample calculation is for the new style low flush volume toilets. For the old style toilets, it will take about three times more product.
100 PPM is 1,000,000 divided by 100 = 10,000 or One gallon of BioAerobic 50 will treat 10,000 gallons of flush water at the dose rate of 100 PPM. This is 0.0256 ounces per flush. The older toilets would use about 0.064 ounces per flush.
As we wish to treat only 2 gallons not 10,000, it is only necessary to use 2/10,000 = 0.0002 gallons per flush.
A gallon is 128 ounces. 128 X 0.0002 = 0.0256 ounces per flush. For systems with a long retention time (long distance to the sewage treatment facility), the dosage could be doubled or possible Quadrupled. Quadruple the dosage would be about 0.1024 ounces per flush. Assuming that the average toilet is flushed about ten times per day, the daily usage could be 10 X .1024 = 1.024 ounces per day.
|
Assuming that all months are thirty one days, the monthly usage could be 31 X 1.024 = 31.75 ounces (32 ounces is a quart) per month. That would be 12 X 32 = 381 ounces per year. That is about three gallons per year per toilet treated.
Where a sewage system has been in use for years and has a build up of FOG and slime, A spiking or heavier than normal dosage is normally required to "CLEAN UP THE SYSTEM" in a hurry. The spiking is normally about five times the normal dosage for about thirty to sixty days. Normal dosing works but takes a bit longer.
The sample calculation will have to be adjusted for each situation as it is impossible to predict the condition of all the various sewage situations. If the sewage does not produce H2S gas, the BioAerobic dosing system is working properly.
BioAerobic 50 sells for about $35.00 per gallon. The product and service would bring the cost up to about $150.00 per year per injection device connected to the sewage system.
The sewage received by the central processing plant would have a healthy aerobic bacterial action in work. The solids would be greatly reduced (as a function of the retention time in the collection system) and the sewage would require much less odor free processing.

Reducing the use of Toilet PaperThe toilet in the photo has been fixed for the photo to show the action of the wash water. The normal seat has to have body pressure on the seat before the bidet spray will turn on. The bidet water nozzle extends at the start and retracts at the end of the cycle. I have had a Japanese bidet style seat in my own bath room for about ten years and really appreciate the level of hygiene achieved with the bidet system.
Note the toilet paper rolls on the wall. Some of the systems use warm air to dry the body after washing. Some use toilet paper to dry the body. The paper used is greatly
reduced when just used to dry.

A TROUBLE AND ODOR FREE SEWAGE SYSTEM FOR ABOUT $150.00 PER YEAR PER TOILET OR OTHER DEVICE THAT ADDS SEWAGE TO THE SYSTEM, WOULD BE A COST SAVINGS FABULOUS BARGAIN!!
The cost of the equipment and the installation have not been estimated in detail at this time. The best way to install for home could be to install a new flush valve with the dosing device built in and a one half gallon container that could be installed inside the flush tank. There are hundreds of different style toilets in use. One system will not fit all.
The user would realize that the BioAerobic 50 tank needs a refill when the color of the flush water becomes clear.

The fresh water in many cites needs to be conserved. Injecting BioAerobic 50 into the flush water would make it possible to only flush after several use of a toilet instead of a flush for each use.
A system with the BioAerobic 50 stimulant injected at the inception along with the Japanese style warm water body cleaning system to eliminate or greatly reduce the use of toilet paper, would solve many of the current overloaded and out dated sewage processing facilities.
