Fort Lauderdale, Florida -- This past
fall Natural Resource Protection, Inc. (NRP) began testing it's
bio-stimulant "Bio-Kat" in the City of Wichita Kansa to
remediate hydrogen sulfide odor and corrosion issues and to reduce
the accumulation of fats, oils and grease in the city's sewer
collection system.
Initial
testing indicated that Bio-Kat successfully reduced hydrogen sulfide
levels from 512 ppm to 46 ppm within a 30-day test period. During
the 30-day test Bio-Kat was supplied utilizing the NRP24DE
self-contained dosing equipment, which was placed in manholes
upstream from the problem lift station. Dosing protocols were set at
1 ppm of Bio-Kat applied to the sewer collection system.
In an extended trial, the city
continued the use of Bio-Kat in the sewer collection system and
dosing protocols were further reduced to ¼ ppm. Within the next 60
days the continued application Bio-Kat reduced the hydrogen sulfide
odors to below detectable levels.

WWTP Solves Bahamian Utility Problem
Freeport, Bahama -- Grand Bahama
Utility Company Ltd., a private utility company serving the water
and wastewater needs of the City of Freeport, Grand Bahama Island,
had to replace a fragile and overloaded old concrete wastewater
treatment plant that served the city’s 1.2 MGD current and future
wastewater flows from the hotel district.
Utility Director, Dennis Garcia,
evaluated many different wastewater plant designs and chose the
Florida Aquastore’s Ultimate treatment plant system. He based his
decision on:
Fast track construction schedule
Flexibility
Low cost
Treatment performance
Florida Aquastore’s Ultimate plant
process design is activated sludge extended aeration, which has
proven to be the most dependable mode of operation in the Caribbean.
The process also includes tertiary filtration and effluent storage
that provides flexibility for varying hydraulic loads and irrigation
water demand from nearby golf courses. SBR, oxidation ditch and
conventional activated sludge treatment designs are also available.
Plant construction began in early
January 2001. The old hotel district plant was decommissioned and
the new system commissioned on July 25, 2001, just six months after
ground breaking. Grand Bahama Utility sells the treated effluent for
irrigation on the nearby world-class Reef Village Golf Course at the
Lucaya Hotel and Resort.
Florida-Aquastore, an Aquastore
dealer, is a specialty contractor building water storage tanks and
turnkey wastewater treatments plants featuring the Aquastore
,
glass-fused-to-steel, non-corrosive tank system. Their primary area

than ever. I look forward to working with AWWA's volunteers,
members, sections and staff as we work together to ensure safe

Mr. Parent needs help with
settling ponds:
Is there anyone with any experience
with settling ponds? We currently run a tile field for effluent
water discharge from an oil refinery but are contemplating changing
to a pond design.
I have recently heard that inherently
ponds could be higher maintenance costs as well as producing smells.
If anyone has any info it would be much appreciated.
