Tailwater Systems services

Our team will provide the inoculum (specially cultivated bacteria).  You can expect to wait 1 -3 weeks for the inoculum to colonize the inside of the bioreactor "towers".  We will make arrangements to provide an external carbon source (required by the bacteria).  Normally we use locally available waste water with high levels of organic material but we can also provide waste glycerol, for example, from a local biodiesel refinery.  You may use your own source of external carbon, providing that Tailwater can see the material safety data sheet (MSDS) first.

We can come to your site and assess what will be required to treat your well water or process effluent. Key things you need to provide us: Recent water sample showing nitrate, phosphorus, pH, conductivity, and turbidity. Recent flow rate information showing the volume of water required for treatment. Installation requires you to provide a source of AC power and a pressurized source of water.
