Bioremediation is the degradation and/or decomposition of contaminants and other waste materials. It is a safe, effective and economical alternative to traditional methods of remediation through the use of microorganisms (e.g. bacteria). Bioremediation is by no means a new term, but in recent years its definition has increasingly become important to the continued longevity of both terrestrial and aquatic environments. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development Committee stated in February 1993, that bioremediation is not only acceptable, but the best possible treatment alternative.
Municipal waste treatment plants, septic tanks and cesspools are used throughout the world in the elimination of human, animal and plant waste. The breakdown of these waste materials is performed by natural occurring bacteria. But one of the main problems with this process of eliminating waste is the slow hydrolysis, or decomposition, of macromolecules (starch, proteins, fats, etc.) to soluble compounds. This results in back-ups in the above mentioned sites and creates environmental hazards which are very costly to clean. The cause of this problem is often the result in a lack in size and activity of the materual population of bacteria found in the site. To rectify this problem, one needs to stimulate the natural population with bacteria capable of digesting the macromolecules found in the system. Bio-2000 is composed of selected bacteria with the ability to grow, and in turn, break down the macromolecules found in these systems.
Bio-2000 is an unique granular formulation that has been developed to utilize ex situ remediation and accelerate the natural bacterial process of turning solid waste into liquids. Bio-2000 is a safe and natural biological product consisting of specifically selected enzymes and enzyme producing bacteria that have been cultivated to be more aggressive in digesting solid waste material.
To digest the solid waste, Bio-2000 bacteria first produce enzymes. These enzymes break down the waste into an "organic soup." Once the waste is broken down, the bacteria can digest the material through their cell walls. Through consumption, Bio-2000 eliminates odors which are caused by the deterioration and decomposition of solid waste materials. Thus leaving behind only water, natural gases and a small amount of sludge-like matter.
Every gallon of Bio-2000 contains 190 billion bacteria which are suspended in a dormant state. Once exposed to water they will activate and begin their normal life cycle. When released they multiply every 20 minutes.
