Bacterial Cultures Reduce Fouling and Odors from Fats, Oils and Grease in Waste Drain Lines
TREVOSE, PA, AUGUST 27, 2001—Fouling and odors from the degradation of fats, oils and grease in waste drain lines, grease traps, wet wells and lift stations can be minimized through the use of BetzDearborn’s BioPlusTM BA900, a special liquid blend of bacterial cultures designed to accelerate cell growth and increase metabolism.
The accelerated bacterial cell growth allows for faster digestion of fats, oils and grease under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions commonly found in waste streams. The BioPlus BA900 microorganisms also compete effectively with the undesirable bacteria responsible for odor production.
BioPlus BA900 may be fed directly to drain lines through metering pumps. Acceptable materials for tubing, piping, pump components and hose linings include type 304 stainless steel, plastics and Viton and fluorosilicone-type rubber.
