The Smell is Gone and the Montage Resort Customers are Happy...

The Montage Resort and Spa in Laguna Beach, California desperately needed a different waste grease management system. Starting with a 'California code approved', but decidedly 'old think' approach, a 6,000 gallon grease interceptor was installed to collect F.O.G. (fats, oils, and grease) from restaurant operations serving almost 30,000 meals per month. Also, the only practical location for the interceptor really wasn't - adjacent to those same Pacific coastline restaurants and the luxury pool area.

Hydrologix designed, installed, and still maintains a grease reduction system (GRS) based on its pioneering bioreactor technology. We've not only eliminated the F.O.G. accumulations but also the need to ever open the interceptor for maintenance operations (and that same release of odors and other combustible gases). This joint partnership with the Montage gives our Hydrologix team a one of a kind, in depth look into the volume, makeup, and chemical/biological properties of discharge from very large food service operations.

We are proud to be intrepidly forging the paradigm of how the F.O.G. problem ought to be addressed, processed and finally establish the way F.O.G. needs to be dealt with to minimize the impact on the current environment and on future generations. The GRS development elegantly demonstrates Hydrologix's commitment and execution of new innnovative solutions that continuously rewrite the history pages of bioremediation technology.

Farmers like these bugs: ESP 333 Microbial Formulations for Agriculture 

A new and innovative way to deliver and maintain microbial cultures in agriculture brings our patented, in house line of formulations and delivery methodology to western U.S. farming regions. Our customers are seeing increased crop yields and nutrient values, reduced irrigation demand, and greater flexibility in how and when chemical applications are managed. In addition, soil tilth and surface/subsurface water qualities are improving.

Last year successful agricultural testing returned on average an extra ton of alfalfa per acre per cutting on acreage in Nevada. Farr Ranch at Battle Mountain, Nevada, saved over US$20,000 in 2004 across 8 full circle pivots (about 1000 acres) because of reduced pivot operation. The additional biomass created by our microbial formulations opens the soil to hold water better at depths as far down as 12 to 24 inches. The microbes work to increase penetration and soil aggregate size, to opitmize water retention around the root zone.

Kenny Cade, Cougar Mountain Hay, Oregon, was elected the 'Dairy Hay" (premium alfalfa) champion by the Oregon State Alfalfa Growers in 2003 after using Hydrologix microbial formulations via our proprietary delivery methodology.

Another farmer treated his dairy lagoon with the microbes to keep the water from clogging (because of a surplus of cow dung). This water was pumped onto the corn sileage and resulted in 13 foot high crops, usually only 9 foot high.

Demand for the Hydrologix Microbial Blocks has risen 400% over the last year. View Brochure or email us for more details.

Upcoming Projects:

In the Hawaiian Islands, we are adapting our pollution reduction technologies to replace the numerous antiquated septic systems at feasible costs to both the public and private sector. Preservation and protection of unique island ecologies are emerging hot button societal issues in modern day Hawai'i. Other areas we are looking to improve:

  • Catchment Water Treatment - new methods that do not require introducing chemicals into the tank.
  • Sugarcane Production - ecological ways to increase production and reduce costs
