Since the activity in the septic tank is based on a natural biological process it is prone to upsets.
A wide range of chemicals such as detergents, bleaches, disinfectants and caustic cleaning chemicals can cause upsets to the biological activity in a septic tank system. Since the biological activity in a septic tank is anaerobic it operates at a very slow rate. Therefore any upsets will take a long time to be restored if left to nature.
The traditional solution is to pump out the tank and transport the material to the nearest wastewater treatment plant for treatment. This is not always easy to organise especially for emergency pump outs and it is inconvenient for the local authority. BFL Septa Clean M harnesses the power of environmental biotechnology to solve the problems of poorly functioning septic tanks. The product works in harmony with the natural biological process and quickly restores efficient performance.
Other types of systems where BFL Septa Clean M can be successfully used include Imhoff tanks and cesspools. It can also be used for compost toilets where it helps to speed up the degradation of the waste.
The benefits of treatment with BFL Septa Clean M are: -
* Eliminates bad odours
* Prevention of soakaway blockages
* Eliminates emergency pump outs
* Efficient degradation of paper and vegetable matter
* Safe for people and the environment
* Planned maintenance costs
* Improves resistance to upsets
* Works in harmony with nature
What is BFL Septa Clean M?
BFL Septa Clean M contains a blend of natural micro -organisms that have been specially selected for their ability to degrade the three main constituents of domestic effluent - proteins, carbohydrates and fats. This degradation process is conducted by a broad range of enzymes which are produced by the bacteria. These bacteria are facultative meaning that they can operate under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Since they have this ability they grow and develop much faster than the anaerobic bacteria and are more efficient in degrading waste material in a septic tank.
The end products of anaerobic activity include noxious gases such as hydrogen sulphide and methane. However BFL Septa Clean M does not produce odour causing compounds and, therefore, the results are much less offensive and more amenable to pleasant surroundings.
The soakaway will also benefit as there will be more efficient breakdown of scum and other organics. This leads to a significant reduction in the carryover of solids so that the soakaway remains clear.
The bacterial cultures are produced as individual pure cultures, harvested, stabilised on a cereal base and blended to produce the final product.
