Effects of EM on Suspended Solids

Increased Capacity

Increased Digestion of Solids

Decrease in Chemical Usage

Increased Overall Efficiency of the Plant

The goal of the plant operator is to get as many solids out of the wastewater in as short a time as possible. The suspended solids (TSS) is an indicator of how much is still floating in the wastewater.

Polymers and other flocculants are often used to thicken wastewater to pull solids out of suspension and bring them to the bottom so they can be removed. EM•1^® Waste Treatment works like a natural polymer, pulling suspended items out of suspension. A wastewater system can expect an average of 50% reduction in polymer use when they use EM•1^®. Total Suspended Solids will drop by as much as 80% as well, causing better flocculation, improving water clarity in the clarifiers. These are some of the ways that EM•1^® use increases the capacity and efficiency of the system. Depending on the system and various environmental factors, we anticipate these results in as little as one week to 2 months.

Applications

The product in injected in the influent line, injected at a rate of !:10,000 on a daily basis. A siphon/venture unit can be installed to work on a pressurized trigger or an injection pump can be installed on site. For econmical purposes, we generally do all environmental applications with Activated EM•1^®.

A fresh water source is need for scheduled treatments.
