Blue going green going well

Autumn10-2In the Spring 10 edition of Organic Waste News we promised an update on the trials involving the newer 'green' additive products for chemical toilets.

Two companies, Eagle Plant and Brandon Hire, have been particularly involved in these trials over the summer months and the results so far have proved very encouraging.

Taunton has been receiving a combination of toilet wastes treated with EverPro Euro tablets or with Bioquickscent toilet deodoriser, Yeovil has been trialling the Bioquickscent. Site staff have been closely monitoring any effect that the additives have had on the process, the biological process seems to be coping well.

After the first six months of operations and monitoring the effects of the additives, we may not yet have the 'green' light but it is looking promising for a decision by the new year.
