Bio-Organic Catalyst

Bio-Organic Catalysts are proprietary formulations that combine fermentation-derived organic compounds with non-ionic surfactants to create highly reactive catalytic platforms. These catalysts enhance biological oxidation and solubilization processes by increasing molecular bioavailability and facilitating enzymatic pathways in wastewater, sludge, and organic waste systems.

Bio-Organic Catalyst acts as biochemical accelerators that improve substrate bioavailability and oxygen transfer efficiency. By reducing surface and interfacial tension, they increase the interaction between microbial enzymes and insoluble organic matter, significantly enhancing the rate of microbial degradation and reducing sludge accumulation.

The catalyst platform modifies fluid dynamics at the micro scale, promoting formation of micro- and nano-bubbles that expand gas-liquid interfacial area. This results in a substantial increase in the rate of oxygen dissolution, thereby overcoming traditional mass transfer bottlenecks that limit aerobic process efficiency.

Yes. By improving the efficiency of biological oxidation, BOCs reduce the need for mechanical aeration and lower the system’s overall biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) footprint. This translates into direct energy savings, longer blower service intervals, and improved microbial stability in activated sludge systems.

BOCs accelerate endogenous respiration, promoting more complete digestion of biomass and reducing sludge yield. The solubilization of bound water and disruption of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) improves dewaterability, enhancing performance of belt presses, centrifuges, and drying beds.

In anaerobic systems, BOCs function as pre-hydrolysis catalysts. They increase the hydrolytic breakdown of complex organics—such as proteins, fats, and polysaccharides—into volatile fatty acids, improving methanogenesis and boosting biogas yield. Additionally, reduced scum formation and improved digestion rates lead to lower retention times and more stable reactor conditions.

BOC formulations facilitate the oxidative breakdown of reduced sulfur compounds and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). By enhancing redox conditions and disrupting anaerobic pockets within biofilms and sludge layers, they prevent the microbial pathways responsible for H₂S, mercaptans, and ammonia generation.

Yes. BOCs can be safely integrated into MBRs and other high-performance treatment systems. Their ability to reduce fouling, improve permeate quality, and enhance biodegradation kinetics makes them suitable adjuncts to low-footprint, high-efficiency treatment designs.

BOCs are highly effective in mitigating biofouling and mineral scale formation in drip and sprinkler irrigation networks. They enhance water infiltration rates in soil, improve root-zone oxygenation, and maintain clean emitters, reducing the need for acid washes or biocide treatments in fertigation operations.

The surfactant-catalyst synergy in BOC products breaks down long-chain hydrocarbons and emulsifies FOG into bioavailable forms. This enables microbial consortia to metabolize what would otherwise remain as recalcitrant sludge or floating scum, thereby preventing line clogging and improving dissolved air flotation (DAF) performance.

While enzymes target specific substrates, BOCs operate as broad-spectrum catalytic enhancers. They lower activation energy across multiple reaction types simultaneously and enhance the performance of existing microbial enzymes rather than replacing or supplementing them, offering systemic improvement rather than point-solution treatment.

By optimizing bioavailability of nitrogenous compounds and improving oxygen kinetics, BOCs can stabilize nitrifier activity and buffer against ammonia and nitrite spikes. They also improve anoxic phase efficiency by facilitating electron donor access, enhancing overall nitrogen removal without external carbon dosing.

BOC formulations are compatible with most commonly used chemical coagulants and flocculants. However, because they alter colloidal behavior and reduce the need for aggressive chemical dosing, process rebalancing may be necessary to optimize results and avoid overdosing of existing reagents.

Dosing depends on the organic loading rate, system volume, and treatment objectives. Initial shock dosing is often followed by a maintenance regime. Typical applications range from 1 to 4 ppm depending on whether the goal is odor control, sludge reduction, or process optimization.

Yes. BOC products are particularly well-suited for use in constructed wetlands, bio-lagoons, and decentralized community systems. They enhance natural attenuation processes, improve treatment performance without mechanical intervention, and support compliance in low-infrastructure or off-grid settings.
