About Pipeline Maintenance and Wastewater Treatment
“Out of sight, out of mind”
− We often take a well-functioning sewer system for granted and forget about it. We only notice and understand its importance when it’s too late.
We often take the sewer system for granted. We only pay attention to how important it is and how well it functions when we notice the symptoms of a clogged drain, such as a flooded toilet, a slowly draining sink, or a rotten smell. If you have ever had to open a sewage pipe in your home to remove hair or other clogs from the drain, you probably noticed that there is an ugly layer of sludge in the pipe. Over time, this layer continues to grow, which worsens the overall functioning of the sewage system.
− The most common solution is to rush to the nearest supermarket and buy a strong drain cleaner and clog remover. While these products may help in the short term, they pose problems in the long run. When millions of liters of chemical drain cleaners are poured into the sewer each year, it places a significant burden on wastewater treatment plants and ultimately causes problems for the environment.
Moreover, the regular use of strong chemicals can severely damage the pipes and the entire drainage system, leading to serious problems and financial damages later on.
The cause of the sludge layer in wastewater
The sludge layer forms from various materials that enter the pipeline with the water. These include fats, oils, greases, hair, soap, and detergent residues, etc. Sewage systems rely on gravity, meaning that water flows forward first and then downward. In practice, the pipelines are continuously flushed with water, but this alone is not enough to remove residual or organic materials from the surface of the pipeline. Grease is by far the trickiest, as it does not dissolve in water and easily adheres to the surface of the pipe. With each use of the drain, more materials accumulate in the pipes. Without maintenance of the pipelines, the layer will become thicker over time, eventually causing clogs, flooding, and unpleasant odors.
Clogged drains drive away your customers
When organic waste begins to rot, a smell of hydrogen sulfide starts to develop. The smell, similar to rotten eggs, is very unpleasant. It attracts various insects, such as fruit flies, which is a clear sign of a lack of hygiene and creates a bad impression of any home or professional facility.
− The saying “out of sight, out of mind” does not apply when we talk about sewers. If clogged drains are left untreated, the neglected pipes will start to emit a rotten smell everywhere. Even the most wonderful service will go unnoticed if customers are driven away by insects and bad odors.
Finally, an end to new biological sewer maintenance
Fortunately, there are new, sustainable methods for permanently solving the most common drainage problems. The new products are based on biological sewer maintenance, leaving only water and oxygen in the pipeline after use. − SmartPipe’s environmentally friendly and completely biologically derived products will permanently solve these problems. The millions of non-GMO microbes in the products activate as soon as they enter the sewer and literally consume any clog in their path.
Simple, quick, and convenient to use almost anywhere that drainage problems are an issue: in household kitchens, bathrooms, hotel rooms, etc. With regular use, the products not only eliminate clogs (and the associated inconveniences) but also provide a lasting solution to the problem, all while being easy to use, safe, environmentally friendly, and a step forward in sustainability.
