Mold Growth in Sewer Lines

Mold Growth in Sewer Lines

Mold Growth in Sewer Lines

(OP)
Industrial discharger is discharging high sugar content process waste water.  About every three weeks, sewer line clogs up.   According to observations and their tests, the line is getting clogged with a naturally occuring mold that is growing in the sewer line feeding on the high sugar wastewater.   It coats the inside of the sewer line and eventually breaks off and clogs the line.    Does anyone have any past experiences with similar situations???

RE: Mold Growth in Sewer Lines

Too bad that sugar is wasted.
How about shock chlorinating with bleach every once in a while?
Good luck.
