Hydrobiodigesters

Introduction
Bacteria
existed on the earth long before we humans made it on the scene.
They are nature's best janitors cleaning up after all of the
earth's flora and fauna. For almost every known biodegradable
substance on earth there is a bacterium that specializes in
its breakdown. The substance to be broken down (degraded) is
referred to as a substrate. Bacteria like humans are adaptable
and will acclimate (adjust) themselves to almost any circumstances.
This includes both food sources (substrate) and their environment.
Step
Degradation
Enzymes
are the bacterium's chefs; they prepare the meal for consumption
by the bacteria. Enzymes are proteins that form chemical reactions
that breakdown the substrate into smaller more palatable bits
for the bacteria. Enzymes are so good at their job they can
create up to 30 million chemical reactions per second. Here
is an example of "Step Degradation": long chain hydrocarbons
(oil) is first broken down into simple fats, then into simple
sugars and consumed by the bacteria in Hydro-Biodigesters.
Matching
Enzymes to Bacteria
Bacteria
produce their own enzymes but will quickly acclimate to the
most readily available food source. By including the correct
enzymes into our formulas the targeted substrate becomes the
most readily available food source. After, when the bacteria
start producing their own enzymes they have adapted to the proper
food source and thereby produce the proper enzyme for breaking
down the particular substrate. Watch out for products that say
"bacteria with enzymes" by reading the fine print you will find
they say "our bacteria produce enzymes". This is very misleading,
all bacteria produce enzymes.
Lab
Grade Purified Enzymes are the most expensive ingredient in
our products. Each strain is hand selected and thoroughly checked
before replication. Make no mistake putting impure enzymes into
your product creates a confused bacterium. Its like giving someone
several road maps to follow and not telling them which one is
to the correct destination.
The
Selection Process
There
are over 3,000 known bacterial strains. Our bacteria and enzymes
are selected for their ability to aggressively breakdown the
targeted substrate. First, we select only facultative strains
that can operate in aerobic (with oxygen) or anaerobic (oxygen
depleted) situations. Our bacteria are most effective in an
aerobic state working 5-7 times faster. We also take into consideration
other factors like resistance to; high and low pH, chemical
shock and temperature. Biodigester products can tolerate a Ph
of 4.5 to 9.5 without dieing off, but.the closer to neutral
pH of 7 the better. They are resistant to disinfectants like
chlorine up to 150 PPM and remain active in temperature ranges
of 50-140 degrees F. DNA matching insures that each correct
strain of bacteria is used.
Grow
Out and Stabilization
Once
the correct bacteria are selected for a particular formula they
are propagated to many, many times their numbers, then flash
frozen and dried. Once put into a state of dormancy they are
microencapsulated to protect them from moisture. This is a patented
process. Targeted enzymes along with micro and macronutrients
are added finishing off the formula.
Micro
And Macronutrients
To
make our bacteria start reproducing immediately upon activation
key nutrients are supplied providing them instant food. These
nutrients supply a well rounded diet until the enzymes provided
in the formula start breaking down the substrate and serving
it up to the bacteria.
Why
Biodigesters Perform
Natural
occurring bacteria are seldom found in high enough numbers to
obtain the fast breakdown rates provided by Hydro-Biodigesters.
By supplying enough viable strains of bacteria with targeted
enzymes in one location the substrate is overwhelmed and consumed
quickly.
Hydro-Biodigesters
are so prolific they multiply by double every 15-20 minutes.
If you start out with one cell in fifteen minutes you have two
and so on. In 8 hours you will have 17-million and in twenty-four
hours you have a 1 with one hundred and twenty six zeros behind
it. Our products have a guaranteed cell count of 2.7 trillion
in each pound of dry formula and 450 billion per gallon in our
stabilized liquid.
