Sewer dosing

Septine sewer dosing

Septine is our bespoke chemistry option for hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) and sulphide control in sewer utility networks. It is assessed against the network duty and available data alongside other distinct chemistry options, with dosing and engineering support available from the same team.

Who this is for

Utility operations managers, sewer network engineers and chemical procurement teams

Your operating priority

Assess a bespoke sewer H₂S-control chemistry on treatment performance and whole-of-operation cost, not the drum price alone.

Before you specify or buy

Establish a baseline, comparable dosing duty, monitoring locations and delivered treatment cost before comparing Septine with your current chemistry. Calibration and performance review can also be commissioned independently of product supply.

Septine V2: reported field development results

An owner-supplied evidence summary records a later Septine V2 development phase in an anonymous sewer network. The reported 16 September analysis describes the following operating observations.

Reported Septine V2 delivered volume
100–110 L/day
Reported downstream mean gas-phase H₂S
2.27 ppm
Reported upstream-dosing treatment reach
≈3.6–3.65 km

The summary describes an earlier 30% magnesium hydroxide liquid period at approximately 175 L/day, from a different dosing point with approximately 1.95–2.0 km reported reach. The periods had different flows, treatment duties and operating conditions: this is not a season-matched or controlled comparison. Lower supplied litres alone do not prove lower cost or equivalent performance.

The Septine V2 analysis included weekends but excluded the recorded 23 August–9 September blockage period. The figures are retrieved historical analysis results, not independently recalculated from raw logger exports here. The mean is not a peak, a personal exposure measurement or a safe-entry assessment.

Septine and Suppressor are separate formulations. These Septine observations must not be combined with Suppressor results or with projected later formulations. Site trials need an identified batch, verified dose delivery and comparable downstream monitoring.

What is covered

  • Developed for sewer utility H₂S and sulphide management where site conditions and agreed treatment objectives make it suitable.
  • Our reported Septine comparisons have shown advantages in strength and concentration per supplied volume, dose rate and generally treatment cost in the applications assessed; results are site- and comparator-specific.
  • Septine supplied with dosing equipment, connection and calibration support.
  • Performance and total treatment cost are application dependent. Compare options on site-specific data, including dose rate, delivered volume and the whole dosing arrangement.
  • Dosing calibration and performance reporting can also be provided independently of the chemistry selected or its supplier.
  • Dosing location, network conditions and monitoring reviewed with in-house RPEQ capability.
  • Deployment is available for suitable projects across Australia, subject to scope, access and mobilisation logistics.

What we will ask you

  • Network layout and dosing location
  • Current chemistry, dose rate and delivered cost
  • Access, power and security at the dosing point
  • Monitoring data available for comparison

Frequently asked questions

How should a utility compare Septine with its existing sewer dosing chemistry?
Compare a defined treatment duty using baseline network data, actual delivered dose, relevant downstream measurements and total treatment cost. Include storage, resupply and operator effort. Septine is a separate formulation from Suppressor; neither product name nor concentration alone proves a lower operating cost.
