Fat, Oil & Grease Control in Waste Water Treatment, Lagoons, Septic Systems & More.

When fat, oil and grease (FOG) is released into the sewer lines, in any amounts, it poses a serious threat to the sanitary sewer collection system. As fat oil and grease sticks to the sides of sewer pipes it limits the pipe's capacity to move waste water and, over time, it can block the pipe entirely.  Fat, oil and grease buildup extensive can result in the need for expensive sewer line cleaning  and equipment replacement due to grease related damages.

As sewer pipes back up, the waste water, containing sewage, food particles, fat, oil, grease, etc. can attract insects and other vermin, cause unpleasant odors, and create health hazards. Property damage can also result from sewage backups and lead to expensive cleanup and plumbing repairs.

Clogged sewers can lead to overflows. As sewage overflows onto streets and enters storm drain systems it is carried to our local creeks and beaches, creating health risks for swimmers, fish and plant life and the environment.

EC-220 BioCube is an FOG degrader formulated and packaged for use in treating waste water containing high levels of grease, fats and oils. EC-220 BioCube  contains high potency nutrients and stimulants that loosen and liquefy and degrade heavy grease deposits. It is also effective in degrading extra cellular polymers, (which cause foaming), and suppressing the growth of the filamentous organisms by affecting the structure of the filaments.

EC-220 BioCube is packaged in a slow release form to optimize performance in lift stations.

APPLICATION
Add EC-220B Bio-Cube directly to the lift station.

1. When locating the Bio-Cube in the wet well I lift station, avoid placing it directly into the flow of incoming sewage. The turbulence and "washing effect" will greatly reduce the longevity of this product. Ideally, the it should be placed in a less turbulent area of the wet well I lift station, but NOT in a dead spot.

 2. Bio-Cube should be suspended in the wet well I lift station so that it is always submerged in water, even at the lowest water level.

 3. If a grease shelf is present during placement of Bio-Cube, raise the high level flow so that the bacteria can attack the grease shelf from the top, bottom and sides.

 4. Results should be obtained in four to eight weeks from the time of application. If grease shelves are present at the time of application, a longer period of time may be required to obtain results. 

Application rates may vary with flow rates, retention times and grease accumulation. The above noted application rate is for a typical lift station.

HOW LONG WILL EC-220 CUBE LAST
Field experience has shown that in a pumping station with a flow of 2000 m³/day, the Bio-Cube should last 30 days. This is not to say however that in a station with a flow of 200 m³lday that the Bio-Cube will last 300 days. We have had reports of the Bio-Cube lasting as long as three weeks. One customer with a pumping station with a flow of 3000 m³/day reports that the product lasts, on average, 40 days.

SAFETY
The materials used in the production of EC-220B are derived from naturally occurring and sustainable sources. EC-220B is environmentally friendly, biodegradable and safe for animals, plants and humans.

COMPLIANCE
Fully complies with EPA Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) and the rules, orders and regulations promulgated there under including:
a) Sections 4, 5, 6 & 7; Title 40 Chapter 1, 707.20 thru 707.75;
b) 40 CFR Sections 704.3. 710.2(e) and 720.3(c); and

d) Does not contain marine pollutants as defined in 49 CFR 171.8.

"It (EC-220B) pays for itself by reducing the need for suction trucks, jetting the lines and less maintenance of floats and lift stations." -
