In the
process of converting over from zinc orthophosphate, the
customer allowed their supplies to drain down to a very
low level, then flushed their storage tanks clean, and then
filled them with SeaQuest Liquid. Water quality monitoring
done daily and monthly, continued with SeaQuest use as it
had been for the zinc orthophosphate, so after 12 months
of use, there was excellent comparative data to insure that
the SeaQuest was doing at least as good as the zinc orthophosphate,
if not better. This municipality was not looking for improvement,
but only maintaining what they were used to with the results
from use of the zinc orthophosphate, while eliminating the
zinc from their waste water sludge which was about to become
a very expensive regulatory disposal matter if left unattended.
The following benefits have been noted after use of SeaQuest
for one year:
1) Prior to SeaQuest treatment, the zinc levels in the
distributed water was as high as 0.25 ppm and
after one year of SeaQuest the level came down
to 0.039 ppm.
2) The phosphate level in the finished treated water
prior to SeaQuest was 0.75 ppm and after Sea
Quest treatment went down to 0.50 ppm.
3) Prior to SeaQuest, of 1,548 sites tested over
9 months, 350 sites (23%) were showing chlorine
residuals below 1.0 ppm
4) Since SeaQuest, these same 1,548 sites tested,
only 203 sites (13%) were showing chlorine
residuals below 1.0 ppm. This represents a 42%
decrease in the number of sites below 1.0 ppm
since the start of SeaQuest treatment.
