Problem: Lift Station Severe Grease Build Up and Odor

Complaints.

A Texas City had a lift station that was building up excessive

amount of grease which required weekly pumping.  In addition,

the lift station was causing odor complaints that required a

maintenance worker to record daily odor readings to document

compliance.  The odor concerns had visibility at the highest

level of local government and an immediate solution was

critical.

Solution: Helix Maxximizer Process

Helix Labs Maxximizer Process was deployed in this problem

lift station.  The station was pumped and the process began

which included high potency bacteria, nutrients, and

microbubbles.  After one week, when the station would

normally need to be pumped, it remained completely grease

and odor free.  The Maxximizer Process has been in place for

24 months and this station has yet to require pumping and

odor complaints have been eliminated.

Problem: Establishment with Large Grease Interceptor

containing Solidified Grease and Odor receiving pressure

from local agency.

A large California entertainment establishment with 3

restaurants, experienced problems with grease solidifying in

their grease interceptor, making it difficult to maintain via

pumping.  Additionally, the anaerobic nature of the interceptor

was causing odor complaints by the staff and patrons.  The

local wastewater agency was aware of the issues, and

mandated resolving these issues.

Solution: Helix Laboratories HL-5000 and GTF to provide

biological remediation.

Helix Laboratories provided dosing systems to change the

properties of the grease in the interceptor and control the odor. 

Two dosing systems were established in the kitchens that

generate the majority of grease to feed HL-5000 grease eating

bacteria down the drain line hourly.  In addition, a manual feed

of HL-5000 and GTF were dosed into the first chamber of the

interceptor daily.  The HL-5000 built up the biofilm and the

GTF provided nutrients and accelerated the biological action in

this anaerobic environment.  Within 2 weeks, the physical

properties of the grease changed, allowing it to absorb more

water, increasing flow ability and eliminating odors.

Problem: Excessive Grease in Sewer Line Causing

Maintenance Headaches.

A West Coast city was experiencing excessive maintenance

costs and risk of SSO’s due to local restaurants emitting

grease into the sewer line.  The 6 inch line required regular

jetting and the risk of SSO was imminent.

 

Solution: Helix Laboratories Minimizer System

Helix Labs installed two Minimizer Systems that dose grease

eating bacteria hourly into the sewer system.  The lines were

not jetted as recommended, but shock dosed with Helix SEED

for a short period to establish a biofilm.  The Minimizer System

was then set to dose Minimizer LIQ daily.  After 90 days, the

Minimizer System effectively reduced the build up in the line by

digesting the existing grease and controlling the buildup of

newly introduced grease.
