www.wwtonline.co.uk | WWT | april 2017 | 11 Bio-Hydrocarbons naturally effective effluent treatment Hydrocarbon-rich efuents generated from sectors such as petroleum, pharmaceutical and chemical industries tend to be high in COD and BOD and can result in heavy nes if consent limits are not met. Traditional chemical treatment can have a detrimental environmental impact which has resulted in more treatment plants moving to biological degradation using microbial strains with the correct abilities to break the compounds down. Bio-Hydrocarbons can help you: Stricter regulations, lower consent levels and rising costs are forcing municipal, industrial and other wastewater producers to look for the best solutions to improve treatment efficiency. The water quality of industrial effluent is directly linked to the costs charged by Water Companies using the Mogden formula. Being able to reduce Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Suspended Solids (SS) offers significant direct cost savings and is a primary reason for introducing biotechnology. Many producers face difficult to achieve consent levels resulting in significant tankering costs or fines. Bioprep technical wastewater experts work with customers to assess the issues facing the plant. After a complete analysis of the waste using advanced laboratory techniques and evaluation of the operating conditions, recommendations are made to provide the best solution for that specific site.
