From January to April 2023, the Delta Airlines Sky Club at a bustling Midwest terminal faced 46 plumbing backups and blockages, each costing at least $1,000 per plumber visit.

These disruptions impacted operations and escalated maintenance expenses.

In Q2, Eganix introduced a proactive wastewater management plan, leveraging proprietary products to address the issue’s root cause. The solution, implemented through the year, significantly reduced blockages and maintenance costs while enhancing efficiency.

In Southfield, Michigan a growing population of 125,000 daily residents generated significant amounts of FOG, leading to recurring challenges for the Department of Public Works (DPW).

Monthly jetting was required for 42 sewer pipe segments, and four lift stations needed vactoring twice a month, consuming excessive labor hours.

Despite investing heavily in various cleaning agents and enzymatic solutions, the DPW struggled to reduce FOG levels and associated labor costs effectively.

Eganix streamlined Southfield’s FOG management and reduced operational costs with our proven wastewater solutions.
