Revolutionizing Wastewater Treatment A Biotechnology Company Dedicated to the Development, Marketing and Sales of Proprietary Products for the Management of Sewage Sludge, Biosolids and other Organic Waste Sludge Solutions International, LLC Sludge Solutions International, LLC Sludge Solutions International, LLC Jerry Bidleman Tel/FAX: 985-845-8824 Cell: 985-966-1607 jbidleman@charter.net For over 16 years, the founder of Sludge Solutions International has provided unique solutions to the challenges facing the wastewater treatment industry. In 2005, she was issued a patent for an innovative, non-toxic, non-pathogenic, biological treatment process called Sewper Rx. (U.S. Patent 6884351) Sewper Rx is easy to use. Sewper Rx is provided by an Authorized Distributor under a Service Agreement and is generally paid for from the resulting operating cost savings. SSI even shares some of the savings with you. You get all of these benefits and spend less money than you did last year We hope we’ve got your attention and we know you must have some questions. So please call an SSI Representative at your convenience to discuss how Sewper Rx can work for you. Jerry Bidleman Tel/FAX: 985-845-8824 Cell: 985-966-1607 jbidleman@charter.net Are you facing? ? Insufficient plant capacity? ? Escalating operating costs? ? Sludge build-up problems? ? Discharge violations/fines? ? Noxious odor complaints? Your Solution is Sewper Rx: ? Consumes up to 100% of incoming organic waste every 24 hours ? Multiplies plant capacity ? Drives down operating costs ? Solves the odor problem ? Enhances effluent quality What are biosolids? Biosolids are the nutrient-rich organic matter produced by the treatment of wastewater. They contain nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc and other nutrients necessary for healthy plant growth. When used in agriculture, biosolids can significantly increase crop yields and help hold water in the soil, making soils more resistant to erosion by wind and water. The treatment to convert sewage sludge into biosolids is usually a costly process. The transportation of resulting biosolids to locations where they can be beneficially utilized can also be quite costly. As a result, most sludge ends up in landfills. Even the transportation to and storage of sludge in landfills is costly. By reducing the volume of biosolids by as much as 80% or more the cost-savings to municipal and privately owned WWTPs is significant Wastewater treatment uses microbes to decompose organic matter in sewage. If too much untreated sewage or other organic matter is added to a lake or stream, dissolved oxygen levels will drop too low to support sensitive species of fish and other aquatic life. BIOTECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS Sludge Solutions International (SSI) is pleased to announce to the worldwide Wastewater Industry, the availability of its patented blend of bacterial strains and select nutrients (U.S. Patent 6884351 issued April 26, 2005). Sewper Rx is a proprietary blend of bacteria, nutrients and enzymes that possesses superior digestion properties for the treatment of sewage sludge, yet is harmless to the environment. The by-products of this unique process are water and carbon dioxide, with no biomass buildup. The regular use of SSI’s biological products and processes have been shown to: ? Reduce the amount of sludge and biosolids in a wastewater treatment plant by 80% or more. ? Reduce or eliminate odors. ? Improve settling while reducing or eliminating the need for polymers and chemicals used in the sludge thickening process. ? Reduce electricity consumption ? Improve effluent quality. ? Increase plant capacity by as much as 50% or more than design specifications. ? Reduce the volume of sludge requiring post treatment handling or disposal by 80-90%. Sewper Rx will greatly reduce operating costs for any size facility, from a small subdivision unit plant to municipal systems. A Performance Contract can be negotiated whereby SSI will treat your plant as needed to achieve optimum results in return for a negotiated monthly fee. Significant savings in solids handling, separation, storage, hauling, disposal and other costs will result. If they don’t …. you don’t pay If the primary problem is poor effluent quality, SSI will provide a Service Agreement to assist in controlling solids build-up in your plant while consistently meeting ever-tightening discharge standards. For additional information, please contact us and we will send to you, by e-mail, an SSI PowerPoint presentation which will provide more detail concerning this unique solids reduction and odor elimination program for wastewater treatment plants. Sewper Rx is producing impressive results in hundreds of waste treatment applications: ? Package plants ? Municipal facilities ? Oxidation lagoons ? Agricultural waste remediation projects Sewper Rx is easy to use: ? Requires no special equipment ? Requires no changes to your facility ? Improves plant efficiency ? Cost-effective Sewper Rx greatly reduces the need for: ? Drying beds ? Belt presses ? Incinerators ? Frequent pumping ? Hauling ? Disposal of sludge Sewper Rx saves: ? Money ? Polymers ? Chemicals ? Electricity Sewper Rx bacterial blend requires only 1 to 2 ppm of dissolved oxygen to achieve results. Sewper Rx has settling properties that promote lower levels of TSS and BOD. Sewper Rx reduces fecal coliform bacteria levels before disinfection. We hope we’ve got your attention What is Sewage Sludge? Sewage sludge is a “viscous, semisolid mixture of bacteria and virus-laden organic matter, toxic metals, synthetic organic chemicals and settled solids removed from domestic and industrial wastewater at sewage treatment plants.” Wastewater from three-quarters of American households flows into the 16,000 municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the United States. This includes not only domestic sewage, but many other wastes from businesses and industries, leachates from landfills, Superfund sites, and other industrial clean-up projects.. The role of WWTPs is to treat the influent wastewater to produce a water effluent that meets standards established under the Clean Water Act. Treatment processes include settling to remove solids, followed by a biological process to reduce organic matter and hence the oxygen-depleting potential of the wastewater. Further treatment is occasionally required to reduce other pollutants. Sewage sludge is what remains after the treatment processes have cleaned the water to acceptable levels. As the degree of treatment has increased, so has the amount of sludge. In 1998, the US generated an estimated 6.9 million tons (dry weight) of sewage sludges and that is projected to increase to 8.2 million tons by 2010. The disposal of sewage sludges is one of the most costly processes of wastewater treatment. Primary options for sludge disposal include landfilling, incineration and land application. As the least-cost option, land application has become the most prevalent disposal method in the US. But even this method is one of the most costly steps in sewage treatment. Sewage sludges contain nutrients and organic matter, but they also contain pathogens and contaminants which must be treated before land application is permitted. Sewage sludges that meet standards for land application are referred to as “biosolids.” Sewper Rx can reduce the volume of biosolids in your plant by as much as 80% or more, resulting in significant cost savings in the treatment process while producing less, but higher quality biosolids.
