The White Knight™ Microbial Inoculator/Generator has been designed to bioremediate biologically failed soil treatment systems without the problems associated with a complete replacement of the soil treatment system. The device consists of the microbial generator which is placed into a sound treatment tank, a linear air pump to supply air to the generator, and a patented inoculant matrix which is periodically placed into the generator.
The “White Knight™” is a Patent Pending technology developed by International Wastewater Solutions Corporation and manufactured and marketed under authorization from them by Knight Treatment Systems, Inc. The White Knight™ is designed to continuously inoculate a septic tank or other treatment vessel with large numbers of very powerful non-pathogenic cultures of IOS-500™ bacteria. Through airlift mixing, recirculation, and fine bubble aeration principles the White Knight™ brings these bacteria into contact with fixed film substrate and the suspended organic compounds in a septic tank, or other process treatment vessel. These pure cultures of bacteria grow at logarithmic rates as they voraciously digest most of the organic pollutants that are found in wastewater and contaminated soil.
The Fine bubble driven airlift features of the White Knight™ are designed to allow for more efficient transfer of oxygen and low maintenance; while providing high rate circulation of wastewater through the device, and across the fixed film media. This more abundant oxygen supply supports a greater number of more robust bacteria providing more rapid digestion. Approximately one cubic foot of specifically designed internal media provides an abundant surface area for the establishment of a fixed-film culture.
The IOS-500™ bacterial blend possess a ravenous appetite for organic carbon and nitrogen. They are capable of explosive population growth under favorable conditions. They possess characteristics that are typical of organisms evolved to dominate seasonal environments, because they are tolerant of a wide range of temperatures. Many of the natural bacteria found in wastewater such as the coliform group are not as aggressive at decomposition and cannot compete with the IOS-500™ selected cultures.
