We help ensure that your success is measured, documented, and repeatable by offering treatment report resources.
Our application-specific programs are designed to make you confident and competent when you treat. Here’s a sampling of what we offer:
Lift Stations and Collection Systems
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas emissions, solids buildup, odors, and safety risks are just a few of the main challenges faced by lift station and collection system operators. MDG’s treatment program is designed to address these issues in an environmentally friendlier way that helps you and your customers see higher ROI. Take a look at our in-field success with mitigating H2S in a municipal lift station.
Lagoons
The accumulation of sludge and fats, oils, and grease (FOG), as well as the production of H2S and odors and reduced effluent water quality, are common problems when working with wastewater lagoons. Additionally, dredging lagoons and dewatering sludge often incur significant overhead costs for facilities. MDG’s lagoon treatment program significantly reduces these common pains to increase facility efficiency and save money in the long run. See how our program helped reduce sludge and increase retention time in a series of lagoons.
Sludge Tanks
Sludge is a costly byproduct of all wastewater treatment facilities. These costs include sludge processing, dewatering, hauling, and disposal; chemistry usage; and expenses associated with odors and H2S levels. For facilities equipped with sludge tanks or ponds, MDG provides a treatment program to alleviate these expensive challenges improving facility operation and helping with downstream challenges. Discover our program’s ability to increase sludge digestion while lowering odors and disposal costs.
