PRO-BIOTICS – Beneficial Bacteria
As opposed to Anti-biotic the term Pro-biotic in general means the use of good microbial bacteria to beneficially improve the health of a human, animal or ecosystem.
The use of Pro-biotic beneficial bacteria is widely used in the aquaculture industry to improve water conditions which inturn decreases disease and mortality rates in stock.
The use of Pro-biotic products is now being applied to many industries that produce human, animal or organic waste.
Our Pro-biotic products contain specially selected beneficial bacteria to digest waste such as effluent, grease, fats, oils, ammonia and blood. Once added to your waste system the beneficial bacteria will go to work digesting waste and improving wastewater quality.
With the use of our Pro-biotic products you will be able to reduce the following wastewater problem areas to below legal regulatory levels – Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids, Oils & Grease, Total Biological Phosphorous, Nitrates, Nitrites, Ammonia, Faecal Coliforms and Odour. (see Test Results)
Pro-biotic beneficial bacteria also dominate pathogens and can eliminate them from a system.
As the products come in liquid form they are very easy to apply. Generally products such as Bio Plus are mixed with 1 part product to 10 parts water and left for 10 minutes. This then activates the dormant bacteria, which then can be added to your pond, drains, grease traps etc. Being in liquid form allows the mixture to permeate into concrete and any porous material digesting waste and eliminating odour.
An added benefit if you are irrigating your end wastewater is that the bacteria create nutrients in the water to be more acceptable for plant uptake. Picture below is a pond pump out area that previous to the use of Bio Plus was scarce of vegetation.
