Formula D-220 - Bacteria supplement for reducing grease and sulfides in sewers and lift stations

Sewer grease from homes, restaurants, and other commercial and industrial facilities accumulates in wastewater collection systems. It can reduce flow capacity, generate foul odors, and cause dangerous, untimely, and expensive sanitary sewer overflows.

Formula D-220 contains grease-eating bacteria that break down and consume grease, fats, and oils in collection systems. This concentrated blend of harmless microbes reduces grease accumulation by forming a biofilm on the wall of the pipe which reduces grease buildup and improves flow even in low oxygen conditions. It also helps control noxious odors by reducing hydrogen sulfide.

Dosage rate will vary with flow rates, retention times and system variations.

Do not add to the treatment system at a location where toxic or otherwise adverse pH, dissolved oxygen or temperature conditions may exist at peak levels.

For optimal results the wastewater and treatment system should meet the following conditions:
Optimum Minimum
Influent pH 7.0 5.0
Dissolved oxygen, ppm 2.0+ 1.0+
C/N/P ratio 100/10/1 100/5/1
Temperature 30°C (86°F) 10°C (50°F)
Toxic metals, ppm
(E.g., hex., chromium)
0 0

Storage and Handling:

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.

Handling: Wash hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water after handling.
