White Knight™ Water Treatment
The
purpose of the White Knight™ (Patent
Pending) Microbial Inoculator/Generator
system is to enhance the performance
and restore biologically clogged septic
absorption systems without physical
replacement of the absorption area.
It is generally accepted that many septic
system failures are caused by "Biomat"
clogging. Some estimates put the number
of failing systems as high as 1 million
per year."
Septic
systems are continuously inoculated
with intestinal bacteria when we flush
human waste down the toilet.
To
survive in our intestines these bacteria
protect themselves by secreting a heavy
mucous coating. Septic tanks are anaerobic
and because of this the organic load
they receive is only partially digested.
These organic materials (food for bacteria)
pass out of the tank to the leach field
in dissolved forms. The intestinal bacteria
carried by the effluent continue to
secrete the sticky mucous (polysaccharide
slime) and adhere to the soil particle
surfaces of the trench and other types
of soil based treatment systems.
Over
time this blocks the soil pore space
with slime (commonly referred to as
the "Clog Mat" or "Biomat").
As the Biomat builds the trenches fill
with effluent. Eventually effluent from
the septic tank cannot pass into the
surrounding soil where aerobic bacteria
can purify it and the system fails.
Noxious septic waste surfaces over the
leach field or backs up into the house
causing a crisis.
The
White Knight™ is unique in the
onsite wastewater treatment industry
because of the combination of physical
components, patented microbial inoculant
(IOS-500™ from International Organic
Solutions, Inc.), and the lifetime performance
and component warranty, which is tied
to the ongoing maintenance program.
A comprehensive site appraisal assures
that the system will effectively eliminate
the clogging Biomat and the warranty/maintenance
program insures that it will not reoccur
in the future. This is good for the
environment, public health, and the
property owner. The White Knight™
can be inserted into any sound, appropriately
sized septic tank. It receives an initial
"charge" of the patented IOS-500™
aerobic and facultative bacteria, which
continues to grow and reproduce on the
system's fixed film media. A small linear
air pump supplies dissolved oxygen to
the unit while providing airlift pumping
action to circulate the tank contents
over the media. This leads to the discharge
of highly efficient IOS-500™ bacteria
to the soil treatment area causing the
elimination of the clogging mat and
maintains treatment and water flow after
installation.
The
success of this technology has been
extensive. To date less than ten systems
of the hundreds that have been placed
into service have been removed under
the warranty program. In all instances
the site appraisal failed to reveal
a problem that was not biological in
nature. The White Knight™ is being
used as an economical and efficient
component of the onsite treatment train
for two poultry processing facilities
in New York and used to recover a community
sand filter system that was showing
signs of failure after 10 years of operation.
Approvals and acceptance is being gained
in many states nationwide as the dealer
network is expanded. Specific data is
available upon request.
