- If pH must be adjusted, water and acid
(or base) are added to the water distribution tank and applied through
the piping system.
- The water distribution tank is then rinsed
and drained through the sprinkler system, before water and Alken Clear-Flo
5100 are blended in there and applied to the polluted soil, until sufficient
leachate has trickled through the gravel to pump 30 gallons of leachate
to the bioreactor.
- Alken Bio-Nutrient 4 is throughly blended with the recovered leachate.
- The prescribed dose of Alken Clear-Flo
7036 formula is then added and the entire mixture is allowed to brew
overnight (to increase the count by one log of growth) before half of it
is released to the water distribution tank.
- From the water distribution tank, the
activated treatment is mixed with additional water and released through
the sprinkler system.
- After the first round of treatment, leachate
continues to mix with the remaining bacteria and nutrients in the bioreactor
and is blended daily for release to the system.
- As fresh leachate is added to the bioreactor,
it encourages a greater population of bacteria to form and that treatment
is then forwarded to the water distribution tank for application.
- Once or twice a week, all pumps are turned
off, the piping system is disconnected and pulled off of the land plot,
so that a tractor and offset disc-harrow can till the soil.
- If the tilling leaves the hay buried,
additional hay may be added to hold in moisture. The tilled hay will add
to the aeration of the soil.
- The sprinkler frame is then returned
to its treatment position and hooked up to the hose from the water distribution
tank.
- The bioreactor is recharged with additional
Alken Clear-Flo 7036 formula twice a month.
- Testing will reveal if additional Alken
Bio-Nutrient 4 is necessary,
at any time.
- If additional surfactants are necessary
to break the oil-water emulsion, they are introduced from the water distribution
tank, as they were the first week.
- If hydrogen peroxide is deemed necessary
to maintain the optimum oxygen level, then this chemical is diluted and
added to the water distribution tank.
