  HBD-O, Oil Treatment Formula
The Problem
Excessive fats, oils and
grease (FOG) in lagoons, grease traps and sumps. Decomposition of
matter by naturally occurring bacteria and/or chemical reactions
will release gases (H2S) to the atmosphere that have a very offensive
smell. Hydro Engineering’s Hydro-Biodigesters (HBD-O) is the answer
to control of odors in wastewater.

Target The Problem
Remove the food source for
naturally occurring bacteria. Hydro- Biodigesters (HBD-O) product
quickly eliminates fats, oils, grease and hydrocarbons in wastewater
and out compete the natural occurring bacteria.
Hydro Biodigesters (affectionately
referred to as “bugs”) are a combination of all natural bacteria,
lab grade purified enzymes with micro and macronutrients. HBD-O
bacteria and enzymes are targeted to the food sources available.
By out competing the natural occurring bacteria for the food sources,
odor causing bacteria die off and thus the objectionable smell is
eliminated.
Hydro-Biodigesters are so
prolific they multiply by double every 15-20 minutes. If you start
out with one cell in fifteen minutes you have two and so on. In
8 hours you will have 17-million and in twenty-four hours you have
a 1 with one hundred and twenty six zeros behind it. They simply
out number the bacteria present in the system.
The Selection Process
There are over
3,000 known bacterial strains. Our bacteria and enzymes are selected
for their ability to aggressively breakdown the targeted substrate.
First, we select only facultative strains that can operate aerobic
(with oxygen) or anaerobic (oxygen depleted) situations. Our bacteria
are most effective in an aerobic state working 5-7 times faster.
We also take into consideration other factors like resistance to;
high and low pH, chemical shock and temperature. HBD can tolerate
a Ph of 4.5 to 9.5 without dieing off, but, the closer to neutral
pH of 7 the better. They are resistant to disinfectants like chlorine
up to 150 PPM and remain active in temperature ranges of 50-140
degrees F.
Safe To Use
All Hydro-Biodigester products
are guaranteed pathogen free; every batch is checked for purity.
Our bacterial strains are Not Genetically Engineered
, they are all naturally occurring strains.
Dry And Liquid Formulas
HBD-O is supplied in two
forms, liquid and dry. The patented process used to microencapsulate
our product protects it from activation in its dry form. We guaranty
an active cell count of 2.7 trillion cells per lb. for two years.
Once stabilized in a liquid that does not break the micro encapsulation
process HBD-O remains 100% viable with a cell count of 450 billion
per gallon for one full year.
Dosing Rates
HBD Dry formula is used
for seed dosing (initial propagation) at a rate of one pound per
2,000 gallons of wastewater. You simply mix the product into warm
(not hot) water and evenly introduce it into all water holding tanks
within the system.
HBD Liquid can be automatically
dosed into the water holding body with our unique Hydro-Ultra Dose
system. For every one minute of run time the auto-doser adds 3 oz.
to the system. Application rates are 3 oz. per 1,000 gallons of
water per day. In a 6,000 gallon system you will dose six times
evenly spaced through out a 24 hour period (every four hours) seven
days per week. Liquid HBD can be purchased in 6, 15, 30 and 55-gallon
drums.
How They Work
Hydro-Biodigesters enzymes
and microorganisms work in concert to digest long chain hydrocarbons,
light fuels, sludge, fats, and grease. HBD’s targeted enzymes breakdown
the substrate for digestion by the bacteria. In high hydrocarbon
applications nutrients supplement the bacteria’s diet. The result
is a significant reduction of BOD/COD and TSS. The byproducts produced
from this biological transformation are absolutely harmless and
“stink” free – only carbon dioxide and water remain.
They propagate the bottom
solids reducing them and liberating oils and grease into the water
column for digestion. Floating fatty crust is broken down and eliminated.
Our bacteria take up residence in the entire system constantly eating
it clean, coalescing plates are kept clean, pipes and valves don’t
plug up.
Proven Applications
Biodigesters can be used
just about everywhere that (FOG) problems exist. This includes:
Septic Tanks, Animal Process Waste Lagoons, Settling Tanks, In-Ground
Separators, Oil Coalescing Systems, Grease Traps, Above Ground Separators,
Waste Holding Tanks, Evaporation Ponds.

Oil Water Separator
This is the first of a two compartments in an oil water separator, as you can see there is a great deal of oil trapped. The resultant odors are what drove the customer to call us. After introducing Hydro-Biodigesters (HBD-O) within one week the smell had gone and after two weeks the oil did as well.
