Case Studies
The dual challenges of wastewater engineers — odor control and corrosion — are showcased in these case studies. Providing a remedy that is safe, non-toxic, cost-effective and produces real results is the answer.
City of Honolulu
A head-to-head test was the order of the day for the city's Halekou Pump Station. The station had been using ferric chloride in an attempt to reduce hydrogen sulfide odors, but area residents' complaints continued. And the threat of corrosion damage from the ferric chloride was costly. A safe, non-corrosive and cost-effective answer came from BioMagic.
City of Carlsbad
The city's Batiquitos Pump Station is adjacent to a 610 acre wetlands area. While the city was using other hydrogen sulfide control products at other pump stations, a pilot program was initiated at the Batiquitos Pump Station to see if liquid sulfides could be reduced consistently and cost-effectively. BioMagic was eager for the challenge.
South Coast Water District
The district's facilities are extensive: the sewer system contains 136 miles of pipelines, 3,800 manholes, 14 lift stations and three miles of force mains. Lift Station 9, located in an environmentally sensitive marina area, was in trouble with H2S levels above the force main discharge manhole literally toxic. An aggressive solution was imperative and BioMagic stepped in.
