Bold & Gold ® Nutrient Removal from On-site Wastewater and Stormwater Systems Plastic Tubing Industries, Inc. (PTI) Licensed Distributor of Bold & Gold ® Media Bold & Gold ® Pollution Control Media Drip Irrigation, Drain Field or Household Gray Water PTI B&G Supplies Mixes provided by PTI, Main Distribution Centers in Georgia, Texas, and Florida
Bold & Gold ® (B&G) B&G – Biosorption Activated Media (BAM) for Pollution Control Developed and Patented by the Stormwater Management Academy at UCFStormwater Management Academy 16 Patented Mixes Composed of Tire, Sand and Clay Low Percentage of Organics in the Mixes Non Degrading Media Soil Substitute Typically, Installed on Top of Native Soil and Covered with Native soil or Landscaping m
What is B&G Pollution Control Media Media for Pollutant Removal Has Sorption Properties Sorption (Adsorption [surface] and Absorption [in]) Physiochemical process Occurs with Solid Media Primarily Build-up or Concentrate Pollutant(s) onto the Media Activated by Interaction of Media and Working Environment Environment such as DO, moisture content is Altered to Improve Removal Distributed Locally and Nationally m
Properties of B&G for Nutrient Management Mix of Natural and Recycled Materials Sorption (Adsorption/Absorption) Properties Long Life Expectancy (Lasts the duration of the system) High Surface Area No Biological Toxic Effects Ease of Filtration Reasonably Non-degradable Residual Moisture Content (for Biological Activity) m
B&G Nitrogen Reduction Process Nitrogen Removal – typical Filtration Biological Nitrification (aerobic condition) Denitrification (anaerobic condition) Bacteria Facilitation Electron Donor – examples C, CO 2 for nitrification, S, Fe, Mn Long Life Expectancy NO 3 - → NO 2 - → NO → N 2 O → N 2 (Gas) Nitrate – Nitrite – Nitric Oxide – Nitrous Oxide – Nitrogen gas m
B&G Phosphorus Reduction Process Phosphorus Removal – typical Sorption Precipitation Ion exchange Filtration Sorption Sorb onto soils and media (during Infiltration) May be removed by either Aerobic or Anaerobic Conditions Typically has a Life expectancy (Limited) – Based on: Sorption media; Nutrient loads; and Stormwater Intensity, Frequency & Duration m

99% BOD 97% SS 78 % TN 70% TP Removal BOLD & GOLD BLACK WATER ie. 126 mg/L TN
Option 1 Nutrient Removal In Separate Tank Septic tank To Drain Field BAM Design life for Phosphorus is 20 years For Nitrogen it is for the life of the tank Advantage: Easy to replace BAM if concerned with TP And if you have no need to replace the drainfield
Option 2 Nutrient Removal in Drainfield Septic tank BAM Maintenance cost = to that of a conventional system Passive or no energy cost, Footprint is the same space as a conventional system Design Life for Nitrogen (long or more than 40 years) Advantage: BAM for TN and can be done with drainfield replacement
