Jensen Precast Introduces BioConcrete™ To Combat Corrosion In Wastewater Structures
Anti-microbial concrete additive stops bacteria growth that leads to microbial induced corrosion (MIC) in concrete wastewater systems.
Armour® introduced Dial antibacterial soap in 1948. Burlington® developed BioGuard® socks in 1976. For more than 60 years we have been surrounded by antimicrobial products. From spray disinfectants such as Lysol®, to hand sanitizers like Purell®, antimicrobial goods abound with more hitting the market every year. But antimicrobial concrete septic tanks and wastewater products? Why?
Under certain environmental conditions some areas of the country are experiencing failure of concrete wastewater systems due to Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC). MIC is a type of corrosion that takes place inside concrete wastewater products above the liquid level. Concrete products such as residential and commercial septic tanks, grease interceptors, wet wells, lift stations, concrete pipe, and manholes are all susceptible to MIC under certain conditions.
