City of Rock Hill, SC
Observed & Documented by: Mr. Hancock, Operations Superintendent
Start Date: September 26, 2002 Ending Date: November 26,2002
Test Site:
Manchester Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant
The Problem:
The City of Rock Hill was spending over $500,000 a year on sludge removal. Mr. Hancock was looking for an alternative solution to
the traditional belt press process in order to reduce cost.
Treatment Provided:
On 10/04/02, BioRem-2000 Water Treatment SludgeTM was introduced at a rate of 4 parts per million. On 10/31/02, treatment was
temporarily stopped for a brief period of 15 days. On 11/15/02, treatment was once again administered at the same rate previously used.
Results:
Sludge: For the month of September, the amount of sludge pressed increased 10% from the month of August. In October, after using
TM
BioRem-2000 Water Treatment Sludge for 27 days, the amount of sludge pressed dropped 39% from the month of September. In
November, the amount of sludge pressed increased 38%. This was due to the fact that BioRem-2000 Water Treatment SludgeTM was not
being applied for the first 15 days of November.
Quotes: 鈥淲ent from running my belt press everyday to going 5 - 7 days without running it at all.鈥?

City of Georgetown, SC
Observed & Documented by: Cedric A. Hudson , Chief Operator
Start Date: March 19, 2005 Ending Date: March 22, 2005
Test Site:
Waste Water Treatment Plant-Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) Plant 12 million GPD
The Problem:
To drop the sludge in the holding tank (capacity 1,000,000 gallons) ONE FOOT a month, the City of Georgetown was spending over
$52,000.00 a year on sludge removal. The cost was based on having one person running the belt press 8 hours a day for 12 days a month
plus polymer, electricity and hauling off sludge. Mr. Hudson was looking for an alternative solution to using the traditional belt press to
reduce his spending and to free up man power.
Treatment Provided:
On 3/19/05, 30 gallons of BioRem-2000 Water TreatmentTM Sludge was poured directly into the holding tank. It was mixed for 4
hours and then it was shut down. No blowers were turned on; no wasting was done and no any additional mixing was performed.
Results:
On 3/22/05, the sludge level in the holding tank had dropped 8 feet. In 3 days, they had accomplished what would normally take 8
months and over 768 hours of manpower at 25% of their normal cost.

together with odor.
Product Used:
BioRem-2000 Water TreatmentTM FOG
Application:
Wet well was shocked with 25 gallons of BioRem-2000 Water TreatmentTM FOG, followed by introducing 1 gallon per day for 30
days to the wet well as a standard treatment.

Maintain reduction of odor and FOG build-up in wet well and lines.
Poultry Processing
CI conducted two independent tests at a poultry processing site. At the first site, the phosphorus levels dropped 0.670 in three days. At
the second site, the phosphorus dropped 0.190 from its highest point in four days. BioRem-2000 Water Treatment TM Phosphorous
significantly reduced the phosphorous levels in a minimal amount of time. Note the higher level of phosphorus that needed to be
reduced, the greater the results. Secondary benefits of the product were the reduction of the BOD and TSS.
