Outcomes so far:
Only one month into the trial, there has been a dramatic reduction in the volume of hydrocarbon content in their separator discharge water. For our customer, this represents considerable savings in both waste disposal costs and separator cleaning costs, as well as helping to manage their Consent to Discharge limits.
In addition, our environmentally friendly Bio Tubes use friendly bacteria to naturally "digest" fuel, oil & diesel to leave harmless CO2 & water - all without the use of any harmful or toxic chemicals and with no hazardous by-products!
Our client is “pleased with this dramatic improvement…which is most encouraging” and are looking forward to seeing continued success over the remainder of the trial. Furthermore, they are planning to start using Bio Tubes in six of their filling stations nationwide.
