03GTL Technology
With extensive R&D and numerous field trials, Arxzyme GTL Technology an industry-leading group of products designed with patented technologies to tackle common issues with grease traps, lift stations and drain lines. Ideal for the following situations in your systems:
• Clogs of influent, effluent, and crossover piping
• System overflows
• Odors
• Emulsification of fat, oil and grease (FOG) that is passed downstream with compounding clogging issues
• High maintenance cost of pumps and systems
• High cost of field odor complaints
THE SCIENCE
The Arxzyme GTL Technology is a blend of bacteria and enzymes that work to effectively mitigate collection system overflows, odors and FOG accumulation.
PRODUCT FORMAT
• Arxzyme GTL Technology Dry
Packaged in our water-soluble bags or loose, our blend of bacteria and enzymes come in 4 oz, 8 oz, and 1 lb. packages which can be easily thrown into a lift station or grease trap to improve overall treatment.
• Arxzyme GTL Technology Liquid
Dosed both by batch and continuous feed, Arxtera’s liquid GTL allows operators to use a liquid feed to improve collection system treatment. Utilizing the same technology as the dry product, this can be dosed weekly or daily using a small metering pump.
• Arxzyme GTL Technology Pucks
The GTL puck is a 50 g puck which is a slow dissolving application technology that uses the GTL technology to provide a weekly application which will dissolve slowly over 7-days to improve collection system treatment.
• Arxzyme GTL Technology Blocks
Our block technology or “Bugs on a rope” provide customers industry leading GTL technology in a 5, 10, or 30 lb. block which can be hung in a collection system to slowly release our patented bacteria and enzyme formulation over a 30- day period.
04Ponds & Lagoons Research
Understanding the unique challenges that ponds and lagoons represent, Arxtera has assembled an industry-specific research team to develop a full line of bioaugmentation and biostimulation products.
While building a stable and resilient biological inventory is important to treatment success, the distribution and application of these products are equally important.
