How to Eliminate H₂S with Pit Raider and Nutri Pro
Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas is a common yet dangerous issue in wastewater collection systems. At high concentrations, H₂S can be harmful to workers and the surrounding environment, while even at low levels, it emits a strong rotten egg odor that can lead to complaints from neighboring businesses and residents. Beyond the nuisance and health concerns, H₂S is also highly corrosive, causing significant damage to sewage pipes over time, leading to expensive repairs and replacements.
If you’re facing H₂S buildup in your wastewater collection system, Pit Raider and Nutri Pro offer a reliable and effective solution. These two products work together to reduce H₂S gas and sludge buildup in collection lines, lift stations, and other wastewater facilities, helping to keep your system running efficiently while preventing costly damage.
What Are Pit Raider and Nutri Pro?
Pit Raider is a biological lift station and collection line treatment formulated with 30 strains of facultative bacteria, including a unique purple sulfur strain specifically designed to target H₂S gas. This treatment can be applied in multiple areas of your collection system to address problem zones, break down fats, oils, and greases (FOG), and ensure smooth operation of wastewater lines and lift stations.
In many cases, Pit Raider alone is sufficient to keep H₂S levels under control. However, for severe H₂S problems, Nutri Pro can be used alongside Pit Raider to enhance its effectiveness. Nutri Pro is a highly concentrated nutrient package that supercharges the beneficial bacteria in Pit Raider, accelerating the breakdown of waste and improving H₂S reduction performance.
Who Can Benefit from Pit Raider and Nutri Pro?
Pit Raider and Nutri Pro are ideal for any wastewater facility experiencing H₂S buildup. These solutions are particularly beneficial for:
-
Municipal wastewater treatment plants looking to reduce H₂S-related corrosion and odors.
-
Industrial facilities that need to control H₂S levels in their wastewater systems.
-
Property management companies dealing with sewage odor complaints from tenants or businesses.
-
New developments adding strain to existing wastewater infrastructure.
-
Preventative maintenance programs aimed at avoiding future H₂S issues.
Since these treatments work in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, they are perfect for difficult-to-reach collection lines and lift stations.
Who Should Consider Other Solutions?
While Pit Raider and Nutri Pro are excellent for H₂S control, they are not always the best solution for every wastewater problem. If your primary issue is blockages caused by FOG buildup, you may need a different treatment like PrimeZyme or Line Bac'r, which contain bacteria strains specifically designed to target grease buildup.
If you are dealing with odor issues that are not related to H₂S, a floating deodorizer such as Cherry Float can provide a more effective solution.
Why Invest in H₂S Control?
Uncontrolled H₂S levels can cause significant damage to wastewater infrastructure, leading to expensive repairs and replacements. Additionally, strong odors can generate complaints from nearby residents and businesses, creating regulatory challenges and potential fines. If your system is under strain due to new construction or increased wastewater loads, investing in a preventative solution like Pit Raider and Nutri Pro can save you money and prevent future operational headaches.
How to Use Pit Raider and Nutri Pro
These treatments are easy to apply and integrate seamlessly into existing wastewater management systems. They can be fed directly into collection lines or lift stations, depending on the specific needs of your facility. Your State Chemical representative will survey your facility to determine the best treatment plan and recommend the appropriate dosage to solve your problem.
If you enter into a wastewater treatment agreement with State Chemical, your representative will periodically visit your site to adjust the program as needed. In most cases, application can be automated using a pump, which your representative will install and program free of charge to ensure maximum effectiveness.
How Much Does a Wastewater Agreement Cost?
The cost of entering into an H₂S control program varies depending on the severity of the issue and the size of your wastewater system. While pricing will depend on specific needs, investing in a proactive solution like Pit Raider and Nutri Pro can significantly reduce long-term maintenance costs by preventing corrosion and system failures.
