Your Questions about Hydrobreak® Answered - Part 3 |
|
What do you mean by breakdown? |
|
By breakdown we mean the breakdown of the resultant waste into acceptable components. |
|
How can I achieve this? |
| To achieve breakdown of the contamination, Hydrobreak requires the presence of oxygen and bacteria. |
|
Where do I get these from? |
| Firstly the bacteria required are found everywhere in the environment so they are already present, and secondly oxygen is also present in the environment so it is also available. |
|
What if there is not enough bacteria? |
| This is a good point and one which is very important. One of the main properties of Hydrobreak is it's ability to stimulate the rapid growth of available bacteria in order for the bacteria to degrade the contaminants. Hydrobreak provides an initial food source for the bacteria, and in doing so the bacteria will consume the Hydrobreak before turning their attention to the contamination. |
|
Okay you also said, that oxygen is required, what if there is not enough? |
| Again this is an important point, as without oxygen we will get very little if any, breakdown. Oxygen is available in the air and also in water, but what we need is a constant supply in order for the bacteria to perform. |
|
How can I ensure a constant supply? |
| The easiest way is to aerate the water into which the contamination passes. |
|
How do I do this? |
| A very simple way is to feed a compressed airline into any holding tanks or interceptors, this will provide enough aeration for breakdown to occur. |
|
How long does it take for breakdown to take place? |
| This is a very difficult question to answer as it is dependent on several factors i.e. ambient temperature, available oxygen, available bacteria, quantity of contamination and time. We suggest that once all the wastewater's reach a suitable holding tank, give as much time as possible prior to discharge. |
|
How can I check that the waste water is ready for discharge? |
| Take a reading of the free oils and greases prior to discharge. |
