BIO-ORGANIC CATALYST TECHNOLOGY
ABOUT US
ECOSYSTEM PLUS™
This Bio-Organic Catalyst is specifically designed for municipal wastewater treatment and organic trade waste where reducing energy costs, sludge production, odour and corrosion provide a significant economic, environmental and/or social gain.

Our products cannot be categorized as bacteria, enzymes, polymers, or as a traditional chemical, rather, the inventor has created its own unique product category within the wastewater treatment industry. Bio-Organic Catalyst (BOCs) are comprised of a fermentation supernatant, derived from plants and minerals, which is blended synergistically in combination with a non-ionic surfactant to create a broad spectrum bio-organic catalyst. Unlike conventional surfactant, which can limit oxygen transfer, BOC’s self-organize and create loose microbubbles having very high oxygen transfer characteristics.
Occupational, Health, Safety and Environment (OHSE) considerations are significantly mitigated with our non-toxic, non-caustic, non-corrosive, non-irritating, hypoallergenic, bacteria-free and biodegradable approach.

ECOSYSTEM PLUS™
SOLUTIONS
EcoSystem Plus™ provides economically compelling benefits to environmental professionals, bringing practical and cost saving advancements to wastewater treatment, water clarification, agriculture, food processing plants, bio-film eradication, and odour control applications.
Highly concentrated liquid organic formulated for wastewater and odour control applications
• BOCs solubilise the molecular structure of organic contaminants including fats and greases to carbon, making it more available to the heterotrophic microorganisms as a food source.
• BOCs significantly enhance the ability of an activated sludge treatment process to reduce organic waste.
• BOCs establish the conditions for rapid oxygen use by microorganisms at reduced energy costs.
• BOCs reduce the volume of sludge being processed through solubilisation of organic components and enhanced biological oxidation.
• BOCs breakdown biofilms and FOG reducing anaerobic conditions in reticulation systems (odour, corrosion)
Pipe
Anaerobic bacteria forms inside the pipe
1. A protective layer of slime builds up over the bacteria2. The slime prevents oxygen from getting to the bacteria
At the same time oxygen in the sewer water is depleted
The entire sewer becomes ANAEROBICthis causes ODOURS to be produced

OUTCOMES
Municipal wastewater operators are faced with multiple challenges, juxtaposed between regulatory compliance, adequate carrying capacities and operating costs. Each of these areas can be favourably impacted by the use of BOCs. The cost/benefit correlation of using BOCs versus other alternatives can be quite compelling.
Highly concentrated liquid organic formulated for wastewater and odour control applications
Regulatory Compliance: Increased regulatory discharge levels require operators to evaluate the most cost effective approach to achieving maximum reduction in discharges. BOCs help by addressing bio-processing optimization of existing facilities and therefore are exceptionally cost effective.
System Capacity: Total bio-processing loading can be improved through use of BOCs in certain key areas. Sewer systems can be both alleviated of chronic FOG congestion and deployed as “pretreatment” components where higher aerobic microbiological conditions are created to reduce the total organic load to plant.
Operating Costs: Numerous elements of system costs can be lowered through use of BOCs. Studies show that aeration requirements, along with bio-solids processing costs, can be reduced by approx. one third. Many chronic maintenance procedures can be eliminated and personnel deployment savings, along with the worker health risks and public complaints, which are tied to these problems.

ABOUT US
ECOCATALYSTS™Powerful organic catalyst formulated for wastes such as fats, oils and greases (FOG)
SOLUTIONS
Bio-Organic Catalyst (BOC’s) improve environmental waste treatment in a number of critical maintenance and processing areas. Key attributes that make BOC’s uniquely attractive are its ability to elevate the level of dissolved oxygen (DO) in solution, regardless of aeration technique; ability to solubilise the molecular structure of organic wastes, including the insoluble fats, oils, and grease (FOGs) components; eliminating chronic and dangerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as ammonia and H2S gases; and the ability to enhance biological nitrogen removal (BNR) systems.
Sewers: Maintaining aerobic environments within collection systems is essential to avoid chronic service problems and dangerous conditions due to hazardous gases, which are also the source of most public complaints. Eliminating slime layers and FOG clogging are excellent maintenance applications for BOC’s. They can also be used to increase dissolved oxygen levels within gravity and forced mains, as well as other aerobically compromised parts of the system.
Aeration Systems: BOC’s has been shown to make a substantial improvement in aeration systems through raising dissolved oxygen levels, increasing gas transfer rates, and improving bioprocesses. Improving aeration system performance can lower energy requirements (up to 30%), along with acting as a method for maintaining higher dissolved oxygen (DO) levels during heavier loading periods, which provides operators with a means to better manage optimum microbiological activities.
Sludge Processing: Processing of bio-solids can be substantially improved with addition of BOC’s. Sludge volumes have been significantly reduced (up to 40%) while methane production quantities were maintained in full-scale applications. Subsequent treatment and handling of bio-solids can be improved due to reduction in odour and better bio-processing of the bacterial components.
ABOUT US
ECOCATALYSTS™Powerful organic catalyst formulated for wastes such as fats, oils and greases (FOG)
APPLICATIONS
BOC’s are highly concentrated, completely non-toxic liquid formulation, which are either injected directly into wastewater streams or deployed through spray or fogging systems. It is complimentary to virtually all microbiological systems and chemical purification processes and contributes to the enhancement of these operations. Able to work in conjunction with oxidizing agents, BOC’s can substantially reduce the amount of oxidizing agents needed to perform purification requirements, and aid in improving removal of bio-films, which is critical to eliminating pathogen growth and the fouling of filters and membranes.
Metering Pumps: Generally, it is recommended injection of BOCs, with a metering pump, directly into the wastewater stream. Dosage rates are based both upon the flow volumes and organic contaminate (BOD) loading level. For elimination of FOG clogging, BOCs can be injected into sewers at wet wells or other access points.
Injection System: Reduction of ammonia VOCs or wastewater discharges can be substantially improved through injection of BOC into waste stream or sludge transport system.
Air Diffusion Systems: To enhance aeration processing, injection of BOC is made directly into an air diffusion system, at a dosage rate calculated by the flow rate or rate required to meet ongoing performance levels. Increased dissolved oxygen levels have been known to be possible through increasing the dosage rates of BOC.
