Enzymatic
Waste Treatment Lagoons, Clarifiers, Digesters, and Leach Ponds

ENZYMATIC is a highly concentrated, proprietary blend of selected natural micro-organisms, essential nutrients, and synergists which help degrade the high concentrations of fat, grease, blood, floating matter, and organic matter found in processing wastes from meat plants, (poultry, fish, beef, pork, etc.). It is effective in anaerobic and facultative lagoons, aerated systems, and trickling filters. It degrades materials, which reduce BOD, and COD, improves settling in clarifiers, and reduces suspended solids. ENZYMATIC will quickly destroy grease and fat build-up in grease Interceptors, drains, sewer lines and pump and lift stations, and is suitable for use in Meat, Poultry, Piggery's, and Egg Production. Regular use will also help-- 

  • Reduce overall sludge volume in clarifiers, DAF plants and treatment lagoons through enhanced biodegradation and help cause good settling characteristics.
  • Provide optimised degradation of organic wastes; including fecal, blood and fats from animal slaughterhouses, meat and poultry produce processors.
  • Reduce the population of hydrogen sulphide forming bacteria and odours associated with them.
  • Improve anaerobic digestion and increase production of useful methane gas from indigenous Metho genic bacteria, by providing partially digested substrate for these bacteria to further metabolise.
HOW IT WORKS :

ENZYMATIC is a high performance, non-toxic and biodegradable multiple enzyme at the forefront of the modern Australian biotechnology industry. It breaks down oils and greases in septic tanks, sludge treatment ponds, grease traps, holding tanks, floors, drains and pipes making it easier for the bacteria to consume any organic waste matter.  At the same time, it rapidly eliminates Odour.  ENZYMATIC is effective over a wide range of pH levels and temperatures.  Because it is in a liquid form, bacterial stimulation is immediate and there are no residues.  It can also be sprayed and used for a wide range of general purpose cleaning problems. 

FEATURES :
 

  • Deodorises by destroying the molecular structures which cause odour problems
  • Reduces levels of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) by enzymolysis through decomposition or conversion of the contaminants
  • Fully neutralises contaminants as a bio-degradable cleaner
  • Removes grease and oils
  • Improves bonding and adhesion
  • Safe to use, is non-toxic, non allergenic and nonflammable
  • Is totally environmentally compatible
  • Biodegrades the removed organic contaminant
  • Leaves no residue
  • Functions equally in fresh or salt water
  • Function in aerobic and anaerobic systems


ODOUR ELIMINATION:

ENZYMATIC works to eliminate odour by changing the molecular structure of the host environment. Reaction time is instantaneous
When placed into an aqueous system containing certain essential nutrients, ENZYMATIC cultures become the dominant organisms in the system and bio-convert the organic contaminants into fractions of smaller molecular size. When maintained as the dominant organism in the treatment system through control of environmental conditions and periodic addition of fresh cultures, BOD and COD reductions of over 80% can be anticipated for many organic wastes within a few weeks. 

ENZYMATIC cultures are facultative anaerobes and achieve the bioconversion of organic compounds through both catabolic and metabolic enzyme digestion, under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Although ENZYMATIC cultures function well in both conditions, their efficiency is improved if oxygen is plentiful in the treatment environment. Usually, shallow circulating bodies of water contain adequate levels of DO (dissolved oxygen).

Confined treatment sites such as stagnant lakes, ponds, drainage ditches, and municipal or industrial waste treatment clarifiers, DAF plants and lagoons should be artificially aerated to optimise bio-treatment efficiency.

In addition to carbon and oxygen, the natural bacteria require certain trace elements for successful growth. These include nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, sodium and sulfur. Enzymatic treatment includes trace elements so that this growth is assured and the environment is natural and effective. 

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY :

ENZYMATIC cultures are a blend of facultative anaerobes originally derived from the soil, which utilise non living organic matter as a food source. The cultures at the correct dose rate are not harmful to either aquatic or land plants or animals and have been released into marine and fresh water treatment areas with ecological safety.

PACKAGING :

ENZYMATIC Is in liquid form and packed in 20Litre, 200Litre plastic drums

STABILITY :

When stored under normal conditions of temperature and humidity, the cultures are stable for a minimum of 2 years. Freezing has no significant effect on the cultures; however, they must be thawed prior to use. Excessive moisture may cause premature reactivation of cultures and a loss of potency.

 NOTE TO PHYSICIAN ;  TREAT SYMPTOMATICALLY

The effective use of ENZYMATIC cultures in a bio-treatment program is dependent upon the environmental conditions present at the site. Adverse conditions such as cold temperatures, oxygen, nitrogen, or phosphorus deficient water, chemical toxic load, highly acidic/alkaline Ph or excessive dilution of biomass through inadequate dosage, may retard or prevent the cultures from becoming dominant in the treatment system. Under such conditions, a pilot scale application study should be made to determine the organic degradation efficiency and dosage schedules.
