Doctor Drain septic tank treatment is a dry, free flowing powder consisting of waste
digesting enzymes and select strains of natural bacteria. All of the
specific strains of Doctor Drain are authorized by the Food Safety and
Inspection service of the USDA for use in federally inspected
establishments. The product meets Federal Specifications P-C-440 and GSA
Commercial Specifications #A-A-11.
Dr. Drain is a concentrated source of hydrolytic (degrading)
enzymes and eight strains of natural bacteria that are genetically
capable of producing concentrations of enzymes in waste treatment
systems under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This product is used in
food processing plants, and in municipal and Industrial waste treatment
facilities. It helps in the liquefaction and degrading of organic waste
and odor control in an environmentally-sound manner. Bio-augmentation
using Doctor Drain, improves the efficiency of industrial, municipal
and other waste treatment systems.
APPLICATION RATES
Septic System: Flush one bottle down the toilet each month.
For Best Results: Flush ˝ cup (4 oz.) of Doctor Drain septic tank
treatment down the toilet
for each 1,000 gallons of septic tank capacity. Repeat treatment once
each week for maximum septic tank maintenance.
R.V. Holding Tanks: Flush 2 capfuls down R.V. toilet bowl after
dumping holding tank.
Oxidation Lagoons, Digesters, Sludge Pits, Clarifiers, Imhoff Tanks
and Collection Systems: Application rate is 2 ppm of Doctor Drain per
day. The 2 ppm is determined by the total weight of the waste water in
the system.
Example: In a 400 000 liter lagoon you would multiply the 400 000
liters by 1kg per liter times 2 over 1 000 000. This equals 800g of Doctor Drain
per day to be used for a normal preventative maintenance
treatment.
400 000l X 1kg/l X 2 parts = 800g/day
1,000,000
Application rates vary with retention times, BOD ranges, water
temperatures, pH, sludge build-up, and pond depth. Normal preventative
maintenance rates are based upon:
•Minimum Retention Time of Seven Days
• BOD ranges of 150 to 250 ppm
• pH of 6.5 to 7.5
• Maximum Water Depth of Eight Feet
Should you exceed any of these conditions we will calculate an
application rate for you.
Flow rates can also be used to determine the volume of Doctor Drain required for normal preventative maintenance. Calculate the weight of
the total organic contaminated waste water flowing into the waste system
and add 5 ppm of Doctor Drain by weight.
Example: With 38 000 liters of daily flow, you would
multiply 38 000 liters times 1kg per liter times five over 1 000 000
which equals 200g per day. This would be the normal preventative
maintenance treatment.
38 000l X 1kg/l X 5 parts = 200g/day
1,000,000
The lesser of the two calculations would be the quantity of Doctor Drain
to add daily.
The point of application should be in an area which allows the
product the maximum time in the system.
