Algae Degrading Seed can be used to maintain a balanced ecosystem in outdoor wastewater treatment systems, natural lagoons and ponds. The organic wastes of pond life forms allow for the production of soluble phosphorus and nitrogen, excess of these compounds may stimulate the overgrowth of algae. Algae Degrading Seed uses natural bacterial ability to utilise … Read more →

Background Frequently in New Zealand and other places in the world, dairy farm animal waste is discharge from milking sheds into on site wastewater oxidation ponds for treatment. Oxidation pond wastewater *without* Biems may be high in H2S, BOD and ammonium plus other unwonted trace elements. We know from expertise that by spraying the surface … Read more →

Prior to using BIEMS in the wastewater filtration system the intensity of odour and the concerns of the public were such that the media had targeted this property as an environmental hazard. The plant on Waiheke Island in the Auckland Harbour is a relatively small plant handling approximately 22 –23 cu metres per day of … Read more →

This page highlights the small doses of BIEMS required to achieve favourable outcomes. “The input of sewage from the city area is average of 100 litres per second during dry weather conditions, sewage from other areas constitute another 100 litres per second, the total volume of BIEMS was calculated at approximately 4.5 litres per day … Read more →

The following are extracts from a memorandum dated 1st July 1997 from the Acting Senior Scientific Officer, National Water Quality Laboratory, Fiji. “The sample of BIEMS which you sent recently for analysis has been tested with the raw sewage at Suva Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, it is a fairly large plant servicing the area around … Read more →

A short use case study showing the application of BIEMS Bioremediation Background A small group of restaurants within a mall were faced with the issue of their grease trap filling with excess fats.  The capital cost of replacing the grease traps wasn’t viable.  They needed an alternative solution. What BIEMS did BIEMS was applied to … Read more →

BIO-REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGY Bio-remediation, using the technology of molecular and bacterial control is becoming a far more viable and cost effective way to treat waste water and waste solids than expensive plant and machinery to control the increasing volume of industrial and human waste. Any volume of water that is held in a collection state will … Read more →

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) is the amount of oxygen required to bring about complete biochemical oxidation of organic matter. The term “decomposable” means that the organic material is utilised by bacteria as a source of food and energy. The BOD test is the usual parameter to measure the organic pollution of domestic and industrial wastes. … Read more →

BIEMS advantages: Biologically based material. Economical and efficient Accelerates decomposition of solids Cleanses fat and grease Decreases BOD Eliminates offensive odours Increases Dissolved Oxygen Less Total Suspended Solids Non toxic No machinery needed No hazardous residues No special handling

The issue with unauthorised discharges into Waste Water networks is that they put the system out of balance. It is hard to gauge where, when and how the discharges are taking place yet someone is responsible for them once they’re in the network. This is where BIEMS can step in, helping to manage the extra … Read more →
