amnite pc100
Chlorinated Organics Degrading Product
Composition
The product contains:
- selected, naturally occurring Hazard Group 1 micro-organisms to degrade substituted aromatic chemicals
- surfactants to aid the degradation process
- free enzymes and nutrients
- cereal based carrier
Microbial Content
The product contains 12 strains belonging predominantly to the Pseudomonas genera. The component strains include both aerobic and facultative organisms. The total viable count in the ready to use product is not less than 5.0 x 108 cfu/g.
Operating Conditions
The bacteria in the product need to be reactivated in warm water (temperature range 25 - 30°C) for about 30 to 60 minutes before application. The product is most effective when the operating conditions during treatment are close to the optimum listed below:
| Parameter | Optimum | Range |
|---|---|---|
| pH | 7.0 | 6.5 - 8.5 |
| Temperature | 25°C | 8 - 40°C |
| Dissolved oxygen | 2.0 mg/l | >1.0 |
| C.N.P | 100:7.5:1 | 100:5:1 - 100:10:1 |
| Heavy Metals | Absent | Absent |
Applications
Amnite PC100 is suitable for treating substituted organic wastes from the pharmaceutical, chemical and petrochemical industries. The product can degrade halogenated and methylated compounds such as those generally associated with disinfectants, herbicides, pesticides and pulp and paper manufacturing. The product is also suitable for sludge farming and land remediation.
