Question 1

What is Bio-Fort and how is it used in effluent management?

Accepted Answer

Bio-Fort is a ready-to-use formulation that stimulates reactions responsible for at-source digestion and neutralising of odour-causing substances. Its documented applications include biological waste systems ranging from household septic systems through to industrial wastewater processes.

Question 2

Can Bio-Fort help manage high-level organic odours in effluent and wastewater?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bio-Fort is designed for use where high-level organic odour is generated and is specified for an instant response. It stimulates reactions responsible for at-source digestion and neutralising of odour-causing substances

Question 3

Can Bio-Fort be used for hydrogen sulphide and mercaptan odours?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The product information specifically states that Bio-Fort acts to immediately digest hydrogen sulphide, mercaptans and other odour-causing substances generated through the decomposition of organic material.

Question 4

What types of organic waste and odour sources can Bio-Fort be used for?

Accepted Answer

Bio-Fort has documented applications involving odour-causing substances generated through the decomposition of organic materials including carbohydrates such as sugars and starch, food waste, biosolids, sewage, organic refuse, oils, mortalities, sediments deposited through flood and bodily fluids. It is also identified for use in biological waste systems ranging from household septic systems through to industrial wastewater processes.

Question 5

How is Bio-Fort dosed into a wastewater or effluent stream?

Accepted Answer

For regular application to a wastewater stream or pipe, dilute Bio-Fort 1:10 with water and use it at a 1:1 ratio with Bio-Starter. Apply using a dosing pump or similar metered dosing equipment.

The specified Bio-Fort application rate is 1 L/day where flow volume is below 10,000 L/day and 4 L/day where flow volume is above 10,000 L/day. Application should be directed to a quiescent zone where water flow slows as it passes through an area of installed media.

Question 6

How is Bio-Fort applied to wastewater, collected liquid or effluent ponds?

Accepted Answer

For wastewater or collected liquid, apply 1 L of Bio-Fort per 20,000 L of liquid volume, diluted 3:100 with water. Spray onto the liquid surface using a coarse spray to help carry the product to the surface. Aim for even coverage, paying particular attention to entry and exit zones, pond or collection-area banks, and deposition zones in the water

Question 7

Can Bio-Fort be used for emergency odour or spill situations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Emergency spill situations are specifically identified as a Bio-Fort application. The product information states that Bio-Fort acts to immediately digest hydrogen sulphide, mercaptans and other odour-causing substances generated through decomposition of the listed organic materials.

However, the directions specify that direct advice should be sought for emergency response, rather than providing a general emergency application rate.

Question 8

How should Bio-Fort be stored?

Accepted Answer

Store Bio-Fort in a shaded place until ready for use and do not freeze. Keep the container closed and free from debris when not in use, and do not shake. The SDS also specifies storage away from excessive heat.
