Septic Gobbler - Biological Wastewater Treatment
Septic Gobbler® is the natural, biological solution to reducing or eliminating costs and solving the problems faced. The usual approach in waste water plants has been to add plant capacity with larger tanks, more air, etc., and to a degree this is sometimes necessary. Extremely costly, it involves enormous capital expenditure not normally sufficiently budgeted, yet still with a resulting increase in sludge handling and expenses. It is important to note that the physical aspects of a plant do not digest the waste. It is the job of enzymes produced by bacteria and micro-organisms.
We have to accept that everybody must visit some form of toilet every day but in general, unless they’re using a hole in the ground…. after flushing, nobody really knows… or cares… where it goes!
Around the world waste water and sewage are stored and treated in different ways. Water Companies vary in their treatment methods and disposal, many now becoming increasingly detrimental to the surrounding fragile Eco-systems. Health hazards abound from raw sewage at public beaches and cherished holiday locations.
Legislation is becoming ever more stringent regarding raw sewage dumping in Rivers and lakes, spewing from outfall pipes and silently seeping underground into the sea. It has to stop.
Nobody is exempt… Islands, rich or poor, near or far, large and small of numerous terrains, often have limited options for sewage plants. The only alternative being Septic Tanks, or Cess Pits. They can be, plastic, GRP, concrete boxes or whatever, buried underground and piped from the house, but all suffer the same fate… sludge and blockage.
Over the years, multi-million gallons of effluent from thousands of homes creates a build-up of sludge. With nowhere to go the effluent overflow permeates the substrate contaminating the ground water. Eventually reaching the ocean, as it exits the pathogen loaded toxic, odorous soup is highly detrimental to aquatic life, sea corals, sea grasses and mangroves. The life blood of the island community, namely Tourism, is then instantly at risk.
Gobbler® has its finger on the pulse of the ever growing pollution around the World, no matter the type. When problems manifest we research for the answer. Critically the solution must be non-toxic, affordable, fast, efficient and permanent.
The best point of attack is to reduce the volume of solids thereby, effecting an immediate saving in haulage costs.
This is done by bio-augmentation of the existing micro-organisms through addition of biologically active bacterial seed cultures which produce massive amounts of enzymes on a regular preventive maintenance schedule. Bio-enzyme bacterial augmentation means helping mother-nature do a better job microbiologically, rather than from continued use of chemical additives. Just like an aspirin that relieves some cold symptoms, but does not cure the cold, chemical additives temporarily relieve the symptoms of poor digestion, but do not cure the problem. So what exactly are biologically active seed cultures?
Biologically active seed cultures are microbial strains of naturally occurring micro-organisms that have been isolated and trained to produce large amounts of digestive enzymes when introduced into a waste system. The special eco-friendly bacterial enzyme producing strains in Septic Gobbler® are engineered to be thousands of times more active than those found in nature and are chosen for their natural resistance to harsh chemicals and detergents. This is the reason why proper enzyme producing microbial strains in a product are so important. They must be the right amount and of the proper kinds.
Our bacteria are uniquely derived from South African soil cultures, giving them a natural home ground performance advantage and therefore metabolize faster, reproduce at superior rates and live for longer. Every bacterium in Septic Gobbler® is a miniature powerhouse enzyme factory which produces enzymes 24 hours a day. It is the main thrust of biologically active seed cultures. Regular dosing of sewer and waste water plants ensures dominance over naturally occurring less active bacteria for the ultimate results.
Potent enzyme producing biological, non-toxic treatment for septic tanks, septic systems, and drain lines which digest solid waste, eliminates odour and keeps systems flowing naturally using Green Enzyme Technology.
A proprietary treatment of specially selected bacterial and microbial strains which produce massive concentrations of digestive enzymes when introduced into wastewater and sewerage environments.
Sludge handling is the number one problem for waste water treatment plants. What enters the waste water plant has to exit the plant at some time and some place.
Hauling and disposal, not to mention that the huge carbon footprint of offsite haulage costs. Sludge handling costs vary from tens of thousands of $’s in small plants, to hundreds of thousands or even several million $’s in larger facilities, on a monthly basis. However, it needn’t be this way, the answer is here for all to see.
As sludge builds up in the system the waste water viscosity becomes much thicker which immediately puts enormous strain on all the mechanical machinery in the sewerage plant. Component failure is the result from the extra torque they endure. Equipment repairs in these instances are high capex items, mostly unplanned and extremely expensive, thousands of $’s in small plants, to hundreds of thousands or more in larger facilities, on a monthly basis.
An incorrectly functioning septic or main sewer system can be very costly.
With the increased prevalence of bleaches, biocides and anti-bacterial agents in many of today’s consumer products, the naturally occurring bacteria, microbes and enzymes are easily killed off and the natural balance is destroyed.
Where traditional enzyme and bacterial products are obliterated, Septic Gobbler® powder, enhanced with it’s nutrient pack, is, incredibly, engineered to be naturally tolerant of harsh chemicals and detergents. Regular dosing with Septic Gobbler® is extremely cost effective and eliminates the need for expensive plumbing companies, honey suckers and waste companies, not to mention dangerous chemicals and the harm they cause the environment.
Regular proactive maintenance dosing with Septic Gobbler® powder costs a fraction of traditional reactive methods and is an essential maintenance item.
Unless they’re totally collapsed, Septic Gobbler® eliminates the need for costly replacement of cesspits and septic type structures.
When sewer drain lines get blocked, raw sewerage can spill out creating a massive potential health hazard.
It must immediately be treated to contain possible cholera and typhoid outbreaks. Septic Gobbler® powder can simply be sprinkled over sewerage spills to contain the problem, while immediately helping to contain odours.
Bad pathogens are controlled through a scientific process known as Competitive Exclusion. Sewer line blockages are mostly caused by Fat, Oil and Grease (F.O.G.’s). Sewer Gobbler® is ideal for shock dosing into the affected sewer lines to biodegrade the cause of the problem quickly and effectively.
For top end maintenance, BIO-BLOCKS are available for suspending in cisterns, they release enzymes when flushing. Replace when depleted.

Electricity Costs:
In addition to the mechanical strain sludge causes, the electro mechanical plant systems run at a fraction of their intended effi ciency, resulting in greatly increased utility bills and adding to the overall monthly costs of running a sewer treatment plant.
Downtime:
With the problems caused by sludge build-up, mechanical failure is eventually guaranteed. It can result in the total non-operation of smaller plants or partial closure of larger plants for repairs. This in turn places severe operational loads and constraints on other sections of the plant which has a vicious knock-on effect which starts all over again in a continuing and downward spiral.
Odour Pollution:
The odour generated by sewer plants is enormous and can often be overbearing depending on the state of the waste. By design, or population expansion, sewer plants are often situated in residential or commercial areas, the foul odours generated can be unbearable. This has an immediate and negative effect on perception of commerce and industry as well as deteriorating property value, not to mention quality of life for surrounding communities and businesses.
Application:
Application: Simply add the below dose to 2L - 5L of warm water and pour down basins, showers and baths or flush down toilets. Alternatively dose direct into the tank or cess pit and multi-treat as required. Ideally if in-house, dose after hours or at night.
Shock Dose:
1kg of Septic Gobbler® per 1000 Litre of septic tank capacity.
Maintenance Dose:
- 100grams of Septic Gobbler® per 1000 Litre of septic tank capacity.
- Repeat the above Maintenance Dose weekly until the necessary results are achieved.
For Best Results:
Use with Gobbler®’s full range of bio-enzymatic products which benefit each other as you use them. Save money and improve performance while reaping multiple benefits compared to traditional chemicals.
Avoid using disinfectants and harsh chemicals, these kill our beneficial micro-organisms and harm the environment.
Treatment Problems to Consider:
Large expenditures and challenges are not likely to decrease because of expanding population, fewer approved disposal sites, infl ation, increased use of chemicals which add to sludge volume and deteriorating state of the sludge and waste, as well as ever tighter Regulations. There is an enormous consumer trend of increasing disinfectant properties of commercial hygiene, cleaning and personal care products. These disinfectants are transferred downstream and indiscriminately kill all bacteria, good and bad, which are needed for sewer plants to function correctly. Without good bacteria, sewer plants will grind to an immediate halt.
For major sewage plants and exit points where effl uent diffuses to the sea, the correct application is Sewer Gobbler®, a sister product to Septic Gobbler®, but liquid. The bacteria is suspended in a transit fluid.
Each bacteria is a powerhouse to produce multi-billions of hungry enzymes per micro-ml.
Automated Dosing:
A challenge in any environment is the always unpredictable human factor. Precise and accurate dosing can be required on a per minute basis of ml quantities, hour by hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. When trying to administer in powder form it can become a physical impossibility, and product theft can be a reality in some environments. Sewer Gobbler® is uniquely available in liquid to overcome such problems.
Liquid is able to be precisely applied (ml squirted) using cost effective, highly accurate Advanced Dosing System, either 240v/110v or 12v battery backup. The system can be physically secured to eliminate the chance of theft. Once per month the bioenzyme liquid (IBC) can be replaced for completely and reliable autonomy.
