Case Study: Sarasota, FL Collection System Solves Odor, Corrosion And FOG Problems With In-Pipe Technology

In May 2006, In-Pipe Technology Company, LLC (IPTC) was requested by Alex Hernandez, Collection Systems Manager, to present our In-Pipe Technology (IPT) to City of Sarasota personnel. The purpose was to evaluate IPT as a cost effective alternative to their current and highly priced odor control chemical Bioxide. IPT treatment began on August 24, 2006 to remedy odor, corrosion, and Fats, Oil, and Grease (FOG) in the collection system. Upon successful completion of the demonstration in November 2006, the City of Sarasota entered into a month-to-month agreement with IPTC to extend treatment of part of the Lift Station 16 collection area
