FAQ & References
What exactly is the Enzyme Product?
It is
a
non bacterial, extremely concentrated, readily biodegradable product
deriving its efficiency through three primary sources. The three primary sources are: A readily biodegradable blend of select surfactants chosen for their emulsification attributes and relatively low order of aquatic toxicity. A concentrated, supplemented, mineral and nutrient-rich extract derived from a carefully controlled fermentation. The incorporation of a broad-spectrum enzyme package from a proprietary fermentation of innocuous yeast strains.
What is the mechanism by which the Enzyme Product performs?
Due to the extreme complex chemical composition of the product, the exact nature of how the product actually works would be nearly impossible to define. What is known is that an intricate interplay between the active ingredients of enzymes and indigenous bacteria results in
a
dramatic reduction of organic contaminates
(BOD, COD, TSS, order, etc.) depending upon how the product is applied and friendliness of the environment it is used in.
What is the function of the surfactant blend in the Enzyme Product?
The surfactant blend serves to
emulsify organic contaminates
. The action
helps to reduce
fatty particle sizes, and
breaks apart
surface accumulation of oily materials. In doing so, a greater total surface area of organic contaminate results. This enables the enzymes to
rapidly enhance
the indigenous bacteria to synergistically act upon these contaminants.
What is the function of the Nutrient-rich extract in the Enzyme Product?
Critical to the overall performance of the product, the highly-concentrated, supplemented nutrient package plays a pivotal roll in product efficiency by introducing select nutrients designed to "kick-start" the indigenous bacteria population in order to improve their continuous assault on problems contaminants.
What is the function of the broad-spectrum enzyme base in the Enzyme Product?
All products are
very concentrated
and contain
hundreds of organic compounds
. Settling is perfectly natural and will not affect the performance of the product.
How "SAFE" are the Enzyme Products?
Since enzyme products are designed to be incorporated into water at very low levels; its introduction into the environment will not create an unsafe situation. All regulated components of the products have been rigorously tested for human safety, bio-degradability and aquatic safety using the guidelines listed below:
FDA
(Food & Drug Administration)
GRAS
(Generally Regarded As Safe) List, parts 184 and 186.
USDA
(U.S. Department of Agriculture)
FSIS
(Food Safety & Inspection Service): Regulated components have been authorized for use in federally inspected meat and poultry plants.
EPA
( Environmental Protection Agency) Bio-degradability test 40 CFR, parts 796-3100 to 796-3360 confirms all regulated components are "Readily Biodegradable".
Standard Methods of the Examination of Water and Wastewater
demonstrates a "Los Level Of Aquatic Toxicity" due to the regulated components classification for bio-degradability.
Acute Mammalian Toxicity Studies on regulated components
shows "Low To No Toxicity" levels. Please refer to
MSDS
.
OSHA
(Occupational Safety Hazard Association): Hazard Communication Standard CFR Title 29 1910.1200 "Non Hazardous" FDA 21 CFR (176.170 &180) (178.340 &.3910) (180.1001 c & e) (181.30) (182.99) (582.99)
Regulated components
may be used in the manufacture or articles or components of articles intended for us in production or manufacturing, packing processing, preparing, treating, packaging, or holding food.
CWA
(Clean Water Act) regulations define the regulated components as "Non Hazardous".
SARA
(Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 Title III) Regulated components are under levels that require reporting or do not contain toxic chemicals.
CAAA
(Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990) Pursuant to Section 611 per 40 CFR Part 82, These regulated components do not contain or were not directly manufacture with any Class I or Class II ozone depleting substances.
RCTA
(Resource Conservation and Recovery Act) per 40 CFR 261, should a regulated component become waste, it would be "Non Hazardous".
According to qualified experts
these components fall under six or more of these guidelines and therefore are
generally regarded as safe
. Even so, in its neat form, products can possibly cause irritation to the skin and eyes and should be handled with care. Never taste or swallow products. Please refer to the
MSDS
