Step-by-Step Instructions for CL-Out Inoculation
Instructions for freeze-dried powder:
- The CL-Out arrives in drum liner bottle bags packed in dry ice. Keep the product on dry ice or in a freezer until ready to use. If kept frozen, the product is stable for up to one year.
- On the day prior to inoculation, place each bottle bag in a separate 55-gallon drum. Open the bottle-bag bung and fill the bags with approximately 50 gallons of clean tap water. Note: Be sure to pull the slack from the bag above the drum rim for future use. Keep the full bags (inside the drums) at room temperature for the next 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, inoculate the wells. Cut open the top of the bottle bag with a utility knife and fold the drum liner over the top rim of the drum. Add 50 pounds of dextrose to each drum of CL-Out. Stir the solution to completely dissolve the dextrose.
- Once the dextrose has dissolved, place a submersible pump, with hose attached, into the drum of CL-Out and attach the hose to the wellhead. A Webco rubber fitting or PVC bushings may be used to secure the hose to the wellhead.
- After the inoculation is complete, to prevent biofouling in the wells, pour or pump fresh water into the wellhead to clean the CL-Out/dextrose solution out of the well screen.
Instructions for liquid:
- The CL-Out arrives in concentrated liquid form (or premixed in a 55-gallon drum).
- Keep the containers at room temperature until ready to use. The product is stable for up to six months at room temperature.
- Add 50 pounds of dextrose to each drum of CL-Out. Stir the solution to completely dissolve the dextrose.
- Once the dextrose has dissolved, place a submersible pump, with hose attached, into the drum of CL-Out and attach the hose to the wellhead. A Webco rubber fitting or PVC bushings may be used to secure the hose to the wellhead.
- After the inoculation is complete, to prevent biofouling in the wells, pour or pump fresh water into the wellhead to clean the CL-Out/dextrose solution out of the well screen.
