Biological Products:
Bioaugmentation products for Wastewater applications in Papermills, Refineries, Chemical, Tanneries, Municipalities, Textiles, Steel, Agriculture, Animal feedlot, Gun Powder plant, Food and Beverage- Dairy Products, Orange Juice factory, Wineries, Cookie factory, Vegetable processing plant, Meat packing, Barbecue Restaurant, Aquaculture, Ornamental Ponds with algae , CAFO, Nursing homes, Military, Campgrounds, Universities, Regulatory agencies, River and Lake remediation
Lab Services:
Filamentous Identification Lab Service. One reason to identify filaments is to determine the filaments characteristics and then determine the type present. If the type is found out, a root cause can usually be associated with a particular filament. If the cause is known, then a correction can be made to alleviate problems. Chlorination is only a quick fix. Without process changes, filaments will grow back after chlorination. Wastewater Biomass Analyses and Cooling Tower Analyses also available
Training Materials:
Training is an integral part of any job. Not everyone is at the same level of training. Many people want beginning concepts and basics. Some need technical information or troubleshooting. Some want equipment, technology or process information. We have developed a full set of Basic training, Advanced training, Filamentous Identification the Easy Way as well as custom training CD's Manuals. We also provide hands-on training classes and soon will have an Online "E-University".
Audits and Consulting:
At Environmental Leverage® Inc., we have a team of experienced individuals who come into your plant with a fresh pair of eyes. The system is checked from influent to effluent. System optimization, equipment efficiency and operational excellence are key components explored. Key Benefits Equipment efficiency Total Cost of Operation reductions Reliability and safety An onsite audit is conducted to examine system parameters, process controls, and current monitor and control procedures. A physical walk-through is conducted, process flow diagrams are examined, previous design criteria are examined and current standard operating procedures are evaluated along with data logs.

Troubleshooting Algae in Lagoons: Algae Control & SolutionsLatest News!
What's New!
We have just added "Virtual Audits" to our capabilities. Check out our new Services. We are in the process of developing new courses for our ""Online E-University" in order to meet the needs of our global customers that cannot travel to our public classes.Visit our new website www.WastewaterElearning.com/Elearning
Pests or natures helpers. . . . .
Well, there are mixed opinions on Algae- are they truly pests or do they help clean up some of the excess chemicals found in our waterways and provide a food source for aquatic life?
Algae can be found growing in ponds, lakes, in clarifiers,
de-chlorination tanks, etc.
Algae Control: With summer time here, and lots of plants, ornamental ponds, lakes and lagoons having difficulties with algae control, we are going to put together a few pages on plants and their issues. Then we will put together the types of algae that can be found as an fyi, because in reality, most of the algae that are growing in your plant, regardless of species, need to be controlled and removed!
Algae Controls
for wastewater treatment systems:
See our Troubleshooting guide for Algae problems. Problems associated with Algae:
These photomicrographs were taken from many wastewater treatment plant Lagoons.
Canadian Geese control is one way to keep out excess waste in lagoons that can add supplemental nutrients that cause algae growth.
Here you can see the wires stretched across the lagoons. Geese need a long runway to land and take off, so the wire stops them from visiting the lagoon. The same effect helps with migrating ducks.
Duckweed can grow very quickly if there is sufficient BOD and nutrients available. Duckweed though usually means you did not get rid of the BOD, not that you have too much N and P present.
Aeration is a must in large lagoons as well as mixing and circulation.
Here is a huge papermill with algae and duckweed problems. Technically they were short on P and the bacteria in the system did not remove the organics. Check your N and P levels vs. influent BOD
After plant audit, minor process changes and implementation of our dual bioaugmentation program-Duckweed harvester helped clean up the wastewater lagoon
