Country Club Johannesburg — Rocklands Dam

A golf course dam required improved water quality without any aeration infrastructure in place, and several estate water bodies — including two eutrophic ponds with a noticeable odour — needed recovery.

Product used
Baczyme Sewage Liquid+
One reported result
Rocklands Dam achieved a 94% reduction in E. coli using biological treatment alone, verified by WATERLAB. Five weeks after a single estate-wide dosing round, dissolved oxygen improved across six monitored water bodies, and two previously eutrophic ponds recovered to healthy levels.

Municipal wastewater works, Highveld — treating a non-functional WWTW

A 7 ML/day municipal treatment works where not one mechanical item was functioning — waste in, waste out. Both clarifiers were out of service, the main treatment tank was filled with solid sludge that had to be opened with an excavator, and downstream ponds carried four years of accumulated material.

Product used
Baczyme Sewage Powder & Baczyme Sewage Liquid+
One reported result
COD was reduced from 2,903 mg/L to 181 mg/L (93.8% reduction). Turbidity was reduced from 1,371 NTU to 60 NTU (95.6% reduction). This was achieved out of a tank that was effectively solid at the start of the programme.

Diepsloot day care centres — pit toilet sanitation

Five day care centres in Diepsloot were experiencing sanitation problems from full pit toilets, requiring difficult conventional pumping.

Product used
Baczyme Sewage Powder
One reported result
By the third week, accumulated solid waste had been digested into grey water and carbon dioxide, leaving a residue that is easier and cheaper to pump out, and safe for irrigating plants. The system is closed, so nothing drains into the surrounding soil.
