If you’ve seen the original Ghostbusters II, you would know that under New York, a massive red, molten lava, thick slime coated the sewers and eventually, pushed up through the manholes and started devouring everything. It took cars in its grasp and people started...

Hydrogen sulfide in wastewater can cause immediate problems, as well as long-term problems. Many products take care of the issue upstream but don’t tackle it at the source, so it doesn’t send the problem further downstream. ATS Innova MB products eliminate...

In the last blog post, we discussed the effects of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on infrastructure and how an excess of the colorless gas can corrode pipes, sewer lines, and other equipment. If that’s not bad enough, hydrogen sulfide effects can also corrode human health –...

The development of H2S in sanitary sewer systems create major problems, including corrosion that carries its own challenges. When the anaerobic slime layer from submerged pipe walls rise into an airway portion of the sewer pipe and reacts with bacteria and moisture on...
