EM•1® Case Study: Corrosion Control

Effective Microorganisms® and Ag1000® can help decrease the cost on equipment maintenance and replacement by preventing and reversing corrosion or salt buildup. Antioxidants are chelated minerals and vitamins that can reverse oxidation. Metabolites in EM•1® can reverse putrefaction and oxidation through the secreted antioxidants. 

This helps balance pH, control odors inside piping and reverse corrosion and salt build up on equipment. When Ag1000® is consistently used in the irrigation system for crops or used to clean equipment, corrosion can be prevented from the beginning.  

In wastewater and irrigation lines, antioxidants have a scavenging effect in the treatment system, pulling compounds out of suspension by combining with salts, thus causing a crystallization formation into a benign salt. By preventing various salts and mineral formation build up, the pipes will be polished without the need for mechanical cleaning. This all equals saving the municipality and the taxpayers money.

APPLICATION METHODS

TREATING ALREADY CORROSIVE EQUIPMENT

Depending on the condition, an application rate of 1:10 to 1:100 of Ag1000®  or Wt1000®  is recommended. Smaller items, like pipe parts can be soaked in a solution until the corrosion is reduced.

MAINTENANCE TREATMENT

Spray equipment with a solution of 1:10 to 1:100 of Ag1000® or Wt1000®. If used daily or weekly to irrigate crops, Ag1000® should keep pipes clean. Can be used in a fogging unit and injection pump with timer. 

Ag1000® is a probiotic liquid for soils and plants. Through the use of Ag1000® in the drip and irrigation lines, the beneficial microorganisms can keep your lines clean and corrosive free. In addition, Ag1000® can be used to clean equipment and soak corrosive equipment to reverse any build up. 

EM•1® Septic Treatment is a naturally fermented live microbial blend of beneficial, food-grade microorganisms. EM•1® Septic Treatment is a safe probiotic for digesting solids and deodorizing. It is completely non-toxic and safe for humans, animals, and the planet. Use it for your home septic system, in portable toilets such as RVs, Boats, and buses to eliminate odors and make pump-outs easier. 

EM•1® Waste Treatment is a naturally fermented live microbial product. It is a safe alternative to synthetic chemicals that can be used for all waste treatments, wastewater and freshwater treatments, and deodorizing. It is non-toxic and safe for humans, animals, fish, and the planet.
