Geraldton Tannery Remediation of the Old Tailing Dams through polyphosphate conversion

Before treatment pond 1 was of dark color with a foul smell, just under the soil it was black and smelly with high hydrocarbon levels and high heavy metals levels

After Treatment pond 1 is a light
Now brown colour and full of life and under the soil is now a good healthy clean brown colour. All hydrocarbon and heavy metals have been seriously reduced.
C10-14 5.5mg/L to o.25mg/L C15-28 28mg/L to 0.58mg/L C29-36 9.5 mg/L to 0.08mg/L C36 2.9mg/L to 0.00 Aluminium 140mg/L to 0mg/L Chromium 32mg/L to 0.15mg/L Copper 0.36mg/L to 0mg/L
Soil / Aluminium 13,000 mg/L to 3,100 Chromium 24,000mg/L to 43mg/L Copper 31mg/L to 4mg/L
It was noted 6 months through the treatment process pond 1 now had millions of living sea monkeys in it. Not treated pond 2 had no life and it was full of dead bugs and birds that had landed in it.

Dampier Salt Hydrocarbon Reduction

Wash down waste is held in a 9000L wedge pit, then goes through a triple tank interceptor, before going through an Ultra Spin polisher.
Hydrocarbon digesters were added with 4 x 1kg The Water Cleanser blocks from Marine Easy Clean which provides a powerful stimulant and home for the hydrocarbon digester microbes to do their job.
Hydrocarbon Liquid digester was added at a rate of 25L/ 1000L of waste water for first two pump outs, this gets a good culture of specific microbes through the system. From there on 5L /1000L of waste water is added as an ongoing maintenance dose.
The water Cleanser blocks are replaced every 8-10 weeks, as the oil eating microbes will use up the stimulant and reduce their effectiveness.
With constant incoming hydrocarbons the Hydrocarbon Digesters with The Water Cleanser blocks have dramatically reduced the amount of hydrocarbons within that system.

Dairy Farms Fonterra NZ Reusing Waste Water after The Water Cleanser has lowered the phosphorus

As stated by the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NZ) one of the two key contaminants to lakes and river systems is dissolved reactive phosphorus. The tests undertaken by Marine Easy Clean have clearly shown that through the use of The Water Cleanser, a 66% reduction of dissolved reactive phosphorus been achieved in dairy effluent ponds by converting it from unavailable phosphorus to available phosphorus. The water from these ponds is then sprayed onto paddocks as available phosphorus which allows for higher paddock yields. This then allows for lower unavailable phosphorus runoff which will only benefit the future health of all ponds, lakes and rivers adjacent to dairy effluent systems.
The test results also show that in this intense waste environment The Water Cleanser needs to be replaced every 10 to 12 weeks, with a two week overlap of product rotation to maintain constant water conditioning.
After 12 weeks we saw the extensive reductions.

Aspen Parks & Resorts Monkey Mia Resort Surge Ponds Test  Cyanobacteria (Blue Green Algae) Bloom

Treatment on their evaporation pond
On the implementation of a new $10 million surge system for Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort, Monkey Mia management allowed Marine Easy Clean to conduct tests on their soon to be closed surge ponds, which were experiencing a cyanobacteria bloom.
After 1 month of Marine Easy Clean’s treatment, if I didn’t know it was a surge pond I would of gone swimming in it.
Money Mia Dolphin Resort General Manager Martin Greenside
This project clearly shows that a surge pond, when treated with The Water Cleanser, allows the existing good bacteria to process the surge waste more efficiently, which stops the disease causing cyanobacteria bloom. This project also highlights the savings that can be achieved with existing surge systems, by not needing to be updated. This treatment plan came in at a cost of less than $4,000 per annum per pond in comparison to spending $10 million on a new surge processing plant that was needed to stay within government standards.

Solomon Mine Site String Algae Outbreaks

In February 2014 Marine Easy Clean was brought in to advise on how to treat their string algae outbreaks in 7 dams that were causing around $1.2 million costs in plant shutdowns per day from filter blockages to their processing plant.
We instantly implemented a treatment plan, which was to attack this invasive algae with The Water Cleanser blocks and Organic Oil Consuming Bacteria. This stops string algae outbreaks by removing the nutritional value in phosphate, which are organic oils. Not allowing the string algae to store such oils in the algae mats starves the algae, leading to controlling its invasive growth.
The photos clearly show we have maintained the string algae outbreaks and have taken control of the string algal mats, therefore putting a stop to the filter blockages and plant shutdowns.
Our treatment plan has now been in place for 10 months with 3 treatments being conducted.

Removing the Stink Using The Water Cleanser to clean Sewerage Ponds

PROBLEM:
The client came to us with the problem of their Sewerage Ponds being extremely smelly and dirty. Local residents were complaining to the Shire that in certain wind conditions the smell of sewerage emitting from the ponds was blowing right through town and ran the risk of causing a down turn in tourist activity.

SOLUTION:
The blocks were thrown into the water away from the edge and spaced evenly around the ponds. In this case 4 blocks were used (5kg per pond).
The Result
After 25 days, 20kg of the water cleanser has made a dramatic difference to the quality of the water. The overflow pond was completely clear (for the first time ever). The Residents were happy that the Sewerage ponds no longer had a foul smell.
