Operation; Recommended Addition Of Microbes; Routine Maintenance - Mi-T-M BIO-20R-0M11 Manual Del Usuario

RECOMMENDED ADDITION OF MICROBES:

Note: It is recommended to add a quick dissolve monthly inoculation microbe pack to the system at start up to help
establish a microbial colony.
1. For regular use dose bacteria product either daily (for liquid products) or monthly (for dry products).
2. Monitor the system closely to insure that a proper amount of bacteria is being dosed into the system during your
inoculation periods. If the product water is not to a standard that is appropriate for your facility, more bacteria may
need to be added to the system more frequently.
3. If the organic load of your waste water is not high enough to provide proper nutrition for the microbes to survive you
may notice a slimy film on the top of your system. If this is the case additional nutrients must be added to keep the
bacteria alive (nitrogen and phosphorus are common nutrients).
4. Continue your inoculation schedule for the life of the system to insure proper function (After system has been drained
a quick dissolve monthly inoculation microbe pack should be used when the system is charged again).
5. When placing either the dry product or injecting the liquid bacteria into the system, it should be a microbe product
appropriate for your waste stream and should be dosed close to the inlet of the system..
The Mi-T-M microbes are most active and effective when the water temperature is between 70°F and 100°F. For climates
where freezing temperatures are experienced, the Biological System should be enclosed in a heated room.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:

1. Pits should be kept free from large amounts of sludge.
2. For most applications, 1 package of dry bacteria or 1 slow dissolving puck should provide enough "new" bacteria to
maintain a healthy colony (with liquid dosing 6oz./day should provide the same coverage) The media pack should
feel "slimy" to the touch when the microb colony is established. (If you are not seeing an appropriate water quality
your applications may require more microbes because the contaminant level or your flow needs to be reduced.
3. The pH of the water should not be lower than 5.5 or higher than 8.5 at any given time.
4. If soap is necessary for washing, the soap should be of a neutral pH (approximately 7).
