Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant - Scum Bug Derby
Bio-Systems Wins the Scum Bug Derby
A Northeast Municipal Authority had tried numerous chemical and microbial treatments for grease control in a scum pit with varying degrees of success. In order to establish product performance, a Scum Bug Derby was held.
Bio-Systems Products were the winner in both over all performance and in performance per dollar.
In the fall of 1993, they added Bio-Systems Product to their system in water soluble pouches. The following are the test results:
