Job Titles:
- City Superintendent - Lake Charles, LA
"The City of Lake Charles, LA, has been using AT-318 and Aqua-Aide for over ten years. I have noticed great results at our two plants. We have heavy rains that put a real challenge on our sludge blankets. We have noticed that one of the biggest advantages in using these products is that they hold our blankets down. Like many municipalities we have excessive I & I. I have also seen lower T.S.S. & B.O.D. They are the only products we have found that can be applied by hand directly into the mixed liquor.
I would highly recommend these two products, AT-318 and Aqua-Aide. If you care to call my office, my number is 337-491-1224.
Without these products from BICI we couldn't met state requirements. This company has worked with us and our operators. They just don't sell a products, They sell solutions!"

"The many products that BICI offers to the wastewater industry are top quality and each product performs its intended purpose without fail.
We have been a customer of Dan's for over thirty years. Dan's ability to place himself in the shoes of his customers and understand the
needs of each specific application are a testament to his knowledge and understanding of the many complications that arise in keeping up with the ever demanding regulations in wastewater operations.
For many wastewater systems, meeting strict limitations of ammonia and phosphorus present somewhat of a challenge. Dan has the abil ity to listen and understand what each system needs to help meet the strict regulations.
Job Titles:
- Director of Public Works - Lake Winnebago, MO
"Recently the Public Works Department had to deal with a very difficult sewer main block. Lake Winnebago is approximately 300 acres and there are 18 manholes along the shore line that feed the city sewers to a main that runs about 1 1/2 miles in the bottom of the lake from the far west shore to under the dam on the east end shore. The lateral was blocked 170 feet from the north shore and 200 feet from the south shore.
We only have access from the manholes since the main is in the center of the lake. The blockage was where the lateral meets the main, and it was made up of restaurant grease, roots, plastic and cloth fibers, a plastic bag or two and some flushable diaper material. We were able to jet multiple times 170ft to the block but the jets would not break through, and we tried several sewer cleaning chemicals including Knockout, to no avail. We were at wits end, the lake is about 30 feet deep at the block and the only option left was to drain the lake or bring in temporary dams, but the cost of those options was way more than this city of 500 homes could handle.
Luckily we received, at that time, a mailing and a phone call from Dan Ward at BICI Chemicals. When I explained our situation to Dan, he suggested that we try Oxygen Stabilizer and Freezone. I was a skeptic because no other chemicals worked, but I also was running out of options so we ordered and used both chemicals. We pumped out the sewer line and removed as much liquid as we could and poured in the chemicals and it was quite impressive, there was a white cloud, loud rumbling and grease shot out of the manhole 15 feet into the air. The main DID NOT open, so per Dan's instructions, we emptied 4000 gallons of clean water from the jet truck, into the manhole.
The next morning, to our surprise the sewer line was open and has been open since then. I have a second set of chemicals in storage at public works, we are prepared for the next problem, hopefully we won't need it. "

"Since we have been using Oxygen Stabilizer and Freezone we have not had to replace a lift station pump in two years. Before using these products, we were replacing our pumps every six months."
