PROJECT E-1

Septic Sewage and Grease Trap Treatment Projects
Automobile Service Center, Seabrook, NH

PROBLEM:
Motor oil waste in septic tank

In Seabrook, NH, a septic tank at an automobile service center was required to be pumped in preparation for closure as a result of a new sewer connection. When the cover of the tank was removed, the pumper refused to remove the contents, as a 1/4 inch of used motor oil waste was floating on top of the septage. A hazardous waste contractor also refused to take the oily waste because of the septage.

SOLUTION:
Apply MicroSorb®SC, aerate, circulate

Two pounds of MicroSorb® SC were applied to the tank along with an aeration and circulation system. Another pound of MicroSorb® SC was applied over a two-week period.

RESULTS:
Oil is gone in two weeks

At the end of the two-week period, the oil was gone. The treated water in the tank was pale gray and the septage hauler removed the tank water.
