EC-500
Controls grease & foaming, reduces sludge build up, improves
settling & reduces odor in Municipal Activated Sludge |
EC-500 is a biological product formulated for use in treating
municipal waste water (activated sludge) during colder winter months. EC-500
is effective in degrading the biodegradable components in organic matter
i.e. proteins, fats,
carbohydrates and select hydrocarbons. EC-500 is effective under both aerobic and anaerobic
conditions.
BENEFITS - Sludge Reduction Programs
 Reduces
sludge build-up
Controls grease, foaming, or scum formation
Improves settling
Reduces odors
Improves effluent
BENEFITS - Filamentous Control
Ensures
rapid biological start-up with suppression of undesirable
filamentous bacteria.
Provides competitive organisms to reduce filamentous
activity.

Spread this initial dosage out over the course of 10 days.
Dosage rate will vary with flow rates, retention times and
system variations. The rates above are for a typical, well
maintained system.
ACTIVATED SLUDGE SYSTEMS
For extended aeration, contact stabilization, step
aeration, oxygen activated sludge, etc., application rates are
based on the average daily flow rate to the aeration basin,
excluding the return sludge stream.
EC-500
reduces the sludge produced in any type of secondary
biological treatment system by improving the degradation of
organic material and converting it to dead "Bugs"
that weigh less and occupy less space.
EXPECTED IMPROVEMENTS
High rate system with no primary clarifier: 25 to 35%
reduction in dry solids produced.
Long retention time (greater than twenty four hours in
aeration) with primary clarifier: 10 to 15% reduction in total
dry solids.
Long retention time (greater than twenty four hours in
aeration) without primary clarifier: 20% reduction in dry
solids.
