SLIDE 2

Conventional Oil and Water Separator

 Oil and Water separators work on a gravitational system that settles solids at the bottom oils rise to the top and water flows in between.  Gravitational oil and water separators are not design for

ther contaminants aside from oil and petroleum.

 Water is then pumped and transported to a water treatment facility to be treated.

SLIDE 3

 The use of microbes to clean contaminated water  Microbes eat and digest contaminants

Bioremediation

SLIDE 4

Effectively integrated with the existing work processes Grease traps and bacterial buckets at food facilities. Water runs to LAFB water treatment facility and certified to redistribute wherever.
