Prodex Helps Municipalities Boost Renewable Energy Production And Improve Operational Efficiency At Wastewater Treatment Plants
The Prodex division of JSH international (JSHi), a global bio-environmental company, has introduced Biological Activity Enhancer (BAE), a proprietary liquid organic formula. As proven through scientific studies and real world application, this material boosts renewable energy production and improves plant operational efficiency, reducing a plant's carbon footprint. Designed to stimulate microorganisms, BAE is like a powerful energy drink for existing microbial populations, improving sludge settling, replacing common chemicals, producing cleaner effluent, and increasing methane gas production.
Derived from a natural peat extraction process, BAE has the unique ability to increase existing microbial populations and enhance their activity in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. As the green component to the engineered infrastructure, this low cost organic liquid provides operators an alternative to costly system upgrades and reduces operating costs, while complementing environmental initiatives.
By biologically enhancing the anaerobic digestion process, BAE helps operators take full advantage of the energy source at their fingertips. For example, The Landis Sewerage Authority (Landis SA) in New Jersey used BAE to achieve a 28% increase in methane gas production from their anaerobic digesters, providing a significant savings in electrical and heating costs. The Landis SA was recently honored with the 2010 Energy Star Combined Heat & Power (CHP) Award, presented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In activated sludge systems, BAE has resulted in cleaner effluent, improved dewatering of sludge, and proven energy and chemical cost savings. The Cinnaminson Sewerage Authority in Cinnaminson, NJ saves more than $100,000 annually in operating and sludge hauling costs as a result of BAE. Furthermore, an additional 125 pounds per day, or 46,000 pounds annually, are removed from the treated water prior to entering the Delaware River.
JSHi's founder, the late Jirair Hovnanian, was a nationally recognized land-developer based in Mount Laurel, NJ. An avid environmentalist, Mr. Hovnanian understood the powerful impact unique products derived from natural materials could have on our lands, waters and energy production.
