Case Studies

Meat Processing Facility

Problem:

• This site was producing 300-400 cubic meters of waste (6 litres per second) into their effluent ponds daily
• The smell was an issue, the jets on the irrigation system from the pond were blocking and the pond was crusting. The compliance requirement is to reduce the output of BOD by 80%.
• The site had trialled Molasses: Reduction in BOD was 70%

Solution:

• Bio-Zyme Industrial daily pumped into line to effluent pond resulted in:
  • Reduction of BOD output of 90 - 95%
  • Eliminated smell
  • Jets all clear on irrigation system
  • No crusting on pond
  • No build-up on pipes
• Have continued using Bio-Zyme Industrial in this manner since March 2008. Currently also using
  Multipurpose to clean floors of the factory.

Food Processing Facility

Problem:

• Auckland City Council Compliance level is 200mg/l of oil and grease output
• Council test on site @ 856mg/l oil and grease output
• Risk of a fine or being shut down till work was completed to be compliant

Solution:

• Bio-Zyme dose pump installed onto grease converter to pump 100ml every 24hrs of Bio-Zyme Industrial
• Council test on site @32mg/l oil and grease output (14 days later).
  • Client has been using Bio-Zyme Industrial in this manner and would highly recommend the product.
• Have continued using Bio-Zyme since July 2017

By Products Processing Facility

Problem:

• Smell issues, Council complaints and media reports. 
• 33,000L underground Bio Filter (water sprayed over bark) smell was excessive

Solution:

• Visit to assess the problem 27^th July 
• 28^th July Order 200L + 8 x 20L Bio-Zyme Industrial. Used the 200 litres as shock dose then administered through spraying system
• 8th October rung client using 2 x 20L per week through the spraying system
• No smell, no complaints from Council or Media. Happy with results

Have continued using Bio-Zyme and reduced the amount being used since June 2015

Seafood Processing Facility

Waste Water Treatment System installed

Problem:

• System failing due to odour, causing the Company to get the system pumped out by liquid waste contractor every week sometimes twice a week.
  Cause: Using caustic and quat based cleaning products 7 times a day and emptying down toilets when finished to waste water system.

Solution:

• Using Bio-Zyme Cleaner at 30ml/per litre to clean amenities empty down toilets when finished to waste water system
• Using 1L Bio-Zyme Industrial down toilet straight to wastewater system for shock treatment
• Bio-Zyme enhanced the bacteria to become healthy which eliminated the smell and the need for weekly clean outs. Notable difference in odour within 3 days.

Have continued using Bio-Zyme & reduced daily dose. Since May 2019.

Dairy Farm

Problem:

• Farm with a herd of 500 cows and effluent being discharged into a 120-180 day storage pond.
  Had odours and pond crusting - weeping walls blocking.

Solution:

• Primed pond with 40 litres Bio-Zyme Industrial then followed up with 1 litre per day pouring down drains of cowshed to effluent pond.
• Resulted in reducing odour, crusting and solids in pond. Helps weeping walls work more efficiently and keeps the irrigation jets clean and clear of debris.
• After effluent was irrigated on paddocks the grass was more palatable for the cows and livestock, while still being cost-effective.
• Have continued using Bio-Zyme since Dec 2018
