PENN State Study on Biomat

How and why biomats form?

Biomats form because the infiltrating surfaces, designed to receive wastewater and be maintained in an oxygen rich (aerobic) condition, have become wet and oxygen starved; anaerobic. Biomats form due to; (a) overloading an area hydraulically, or (b) overloading an area organically.

Organic Overload. The development of a biomat on the top surface of a pretreatment filtration unit is usually the result of applying organic matter (BOD) to the filter at excessively high rates. As described above, when the filter media becomes wet/saturated to the point where the aerobes can no longer live, the anaerobes will take over and produce the slimy, jelly-like, slowly permeable layer we call a biomat.

After the small area under the first few distribution pipe holes has developed a biomat, which will no longer permit the wastewater to infiltrate into the soil it rests on, the excess wastewater will naturally flow over the biomat to adjacent unclogged soil, see Figure 1. In time this once permeable soil will also develop a bio-mat. This process will be repeated over and over again until the entire aggregate-soil interface has a biomat on it at which time, the wastewater will begin to pond and backup into the septic tank and then your home. Note: pumping your septic tank will NOT correct this problem.

Reports

**Conclusion from the report issued after six months of testing the Pirana:**

“Given the simple installation and operation of this system there is little question that the Pirana provides the most cost-effective method for septic system remediation.”

The MASSTC Graph below shows the flow rate improvements in drain field absorption utilizing a Pirana vs other test systems.

Pirana flow rate increase is shown in purple. Note the 250% improvement in just a few months.

Report conclusion after testing the Pirana system:

“When the energy consumption and the retention time in the aeration basin is factored in the Pirana system proves to be almost twice as efficient as the best reading achieved by the other systems, and almost four times the average of the other systems.”

“Recent data shows that Pirana treatment efficiency is increasing with increased
load as the septic tank begins to mature.”

UPSTATE NY PIRANA REMEDIATION REPORT – CONCLUSION

Over the next three weeks, the site was regularly monitored for mechanical function, condition of the raised bed, effluent characteristics and levels.

The first dramatic observation (after 4 days) was formation of thick flocks of white bacterial colonies in the dosing tank. This was concurrent with a disappearance of all black sludge and slime in the tank. Water levels in the monitoring well stayed constant for the first 18 days. There was however a marked change in the color and quantity of the effluent at the surfacing point with a gradual change from black and green to gray. It also became noticeably less damp over the entire surface of the raised area.

Between the 18^th and 21^st days of operation the water level in the trench area dropped from grade to 12” below grade and the surfacing halted.

This system now is considered “not failing” as defined by the NYS Department of Health.

					  Michael is fantastic and I cannot recommend him highly enough! After purchasing a new home I came to find out the homes septic system had several undisclosed issues, so I... read more called Michael out for a second opinion. He did a very thorough inspection and recommended I install the pirana system. He dealt with my endless questions, never once seemed annoyed, and always answered my questions with thorough answers. It has been almost 2 months now since Michael and his team installed my pirana unit and the issues of the past have seemed to be resolved just as he promised, my septic tank is working perfectly! I cannot thank Michael enough for saving the day (and my wallet). I will recommend him and his company to anyone who will listen!

					  Septic Remedy provided exceptional performance and tremendous savings to me with the Priana System.  Other septic services we pushing me to hire them to replace my failing, 30 year... read more old septic drain field at a cost of $50k(+).  Michael from Septic Remedy introduced me to the Priana System.  After researching the system and the science behind it, I chose the Priana System at only a $5k investment.  One year into the having the Pirana System in operation, my septic drain field is fully restored and is functioning as it should. Michael at Septic Remedy is true to his word and saved me over $45k with the Pirana System.

I was not allowed to bring my husband home from the... read more hospital until this sewage issue was fixed. If it weren’t for Michael the owner, we would undoubtedly still be trying to find  someone to come out and help us.  Michaels associates, Tim & Jacob, worked tirelessly until we had running water back. I cannot say enough of how professional & timely this company was. I recommend  this  company 200% to anyone that is having sewage issues.

					  Michael was absolutely fantastic! I called a few companies in that area to get an inspection done on anew property of mine. The tank was pumped shortly before the sale,... read more but every other company insisted that they needed to pump it themselves first, charge me for it, then charge me for the inspection. I called Michael, and he was able to get out there the next day and was fine doind the inspection without pumping. He gave me the option to dig up the lids myself, or proposed a very reasonable rate if $15 an hour if he had to do it. I chose to dig it up myself. However, when he arrived, I hadn't found the second lid yet. He just hopped in and helped me finish digging it up without ever asking for extra money (I gave him a cash tip out of gratitude). He did a thorough inspection  and explained the Pirrana system to me. It sounds like a very unique and interesting way to care for your septic health. Though he did express that he believes most septic systems should have a Pirrana as a way to help expand their lifespans, he concluded that it's not a necessity in my case. "I don't want to sell you something you don't need" what a guy!  He did suggest adding risers so that I would never need to dig up those lids again. A few hundred bucks and a week later they are installed and look fantastic! Thank you Michael for your integrity, timeliness and excellent work!
