REFRESCOS NACIONALES S.A. PANAMA CITY, PANAMA AQUA CLEAN APPLICATION SUMMARY DATE: APRIL 15, 2002 On February 27, 2002, a live bacteria product called AquaClean was applied to our grease traps and lagoon system. The primary reason for applying this product was to dissolve the heavy concentrations of grease and oils in the system and to control the terrible odors that were present as a result of the high quantity of dairy based products that we process. On April 15, 2002, the solids were completely dissolved and the odor was almost undetectable. Lagoon life reappeared in the form of turtles and small fish, and the resulting water was free from odors and solids. Lcdo. José A. Pérez Quality Control BluePlanet LLC
Initial Aqua Clean Application on February 27, 2002 Dosage Rates: Inoculation: 4 gallons Monthly: 2 gallons
The condition of the tanks and lagoons upon application were intolerable. There was horrible odor that saturated clothing and a high population of worms and solids.
Within 5 days of the Aqua Clean application, odor in the tank was significantly reduced and the insect and worm population was noticeably lower.
Within days of the Aqua Clean application, the thick covering of grease began to dissolve, and the water became liquefied.
The Aqua Clean salesman made the following recommendations that were immediately implemented: • Reattach some unused grease traps that had been disconnected. This will increase retention time for grease and oil degradation. • Dig an additional trap underground that will allow the grease to settle back into the earth and reduce the presence of odors and insects.
Within 3 weeks of application, the oils and grease became completely dissolved, and the water changed colors. Turtles that had not been present for years began to reappear.
The condition of the lagoon continued to improve. All odors were eliminated, as was the presence of insects.
After 6 weeks of Aqua Clean application, the system was free of solids and odors. The traps were odor free, and the lagoon had no detectable presence of solids. No further complaints from the surrounding community have been received. Before Aqua Clean After Aqua Clean
