Ammonia and Hydrogen Sulfide Control with Non-Active Biocatalysts

Anaerobic degradation of organics and solids is known to produce hydrogen sulfide, ammonia and methane gases. Occurrence of anoxic conditions due to maldistribution of dissolved oxygen in aqueous systems is a major problem in wastewater treatment plants.

A new solution contemplates the use of Non-Active Biocatalysts as OrTec to improve biodegradation rates of both aerobic and anaerobic bacterial cultures and to prevent the reduction of sulfate and/or nitrate to hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, respectively.

Non-Active Biocatalysts Application for Retrofitting Chemical Scrubbers into Bioscrubbers

The two most commonly used chemical scrubber designs are packed bed and mist. While considerably different in design and operation, their shared historical purpose is to collect and absorb nuisance malodors into a liquid solution containing water and an oxidant chemical like chlorine, sodium hypochlorite or chloride dioxide as well as pH adjusters such as caustic soda and phosphoric acid so that treatment for hydrogen sulfide and ammonia can occur in the liquid phase.

Bioscrubbers have been historically handicapped by the difficulty of developing and maintaining the bacterial seeding. Nutrients and other additives has been proved quite inefficient.

But with the use of Non-Active Biocatalysts as OrTec the bioscrubbers need less maintenance, less water use and have a longer life and you can easily retrofit chemical scrubbers into bioscrubbers.

Compost Improvement & Odor Control with Non-Active Biocatalysts

Are you afraid of composting because you’re worried about bad smells?

Now the Non-Active Biocatalysts as OrTec applied to any compost protocol will result in the following benefits:

Odor elimination.
Increase in compost quality.
Promotion of compost formation accelerating the degradation process.
Waste stabilization of the putrescible forms of organic waste.
Nutrient Availability breaking down complex organic forms allowing crops to absorb nutrients as soon as the compost is applied as fertilizer.
Oxygen Source increasing the oxygen availability to allow a more rapid and complete degradation of organic waste.

Applications of Non-Active Biocatalysts in Rendering Plants

Two of the more important waste management problems faced by rendering plants are Odor and FOG (Fat, Oil & Grease).

These situations can be easily and economically addressed using non-active biocatalysts as Eco-Clean for plant maintenance instead of chemicals. Continue reading Applications of Non-Active Biocatalysts in Rendering Plants

Use of Non-Active Biocatalysts in Feedlot Operations

Feedlots face important environmental and cattle health problems, namely odor, flies and emissions of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and other unwanted compounds.

The Non-Active Biocatalysts as OrTec will solve most of these problems offering a new safe, efficient and cost-effective way to treat them.
