New Environmentally Friendly Enzyme Based Solution for Wastewater Remediation

The effluent generated by livestock at agricultural operations all over both North and South America has a significant environmental footprint that flows far downstream from its source. Most notably present in these effluents, or agricultural runoffs, are manure and urine as well as other contaminants resulting from the continuous requirements and byproducts of livestock production. The increased global population has meant an increased demand for food and a subsequent high demand for livestock and farm products, which has also meant a larger environmental footprint is produced.

Blue Ribbon, a company who manufactures various pork products, has an operation near Panama City, Rep. de Panama where they raise approximately 1000 - 1500 hogs. Blue Ribbon was very concerned about their environmental footprint due to the drainfield of their effluent ponds flowing directly into a nearby stream. For well over a year now, Blue Ribbon has been using a product called “UltraZyme” produced by a Canadian Firm “Cypher International Ltd.”, to effectively clean up their effluent so that the threat of polluting the nearby stream has now been eliminated and thus their environmental footprint has been reduced. UltraZyme is a 100% environmentally friendly technology and was the ideal point-source solution to Blue Ribbon’s problem.

UltraZyme is a unique product that utilizes enzymes to increase the rate of microorganism activity to significantly enhance the rate of degradation of any present organic contaminates while providing simultaneous odor control. UltraZyme is effective in a diverse number of applications such as wastewater treatment, oil & grease traps and interceptors, septic tanks, landfills, contaminated soil, aquaculture and a number of other agricultural and industrial related applications including waste lagoons. UltraZyme is equally effective in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, is 100% biodegradable and is applied using conventional spray equipment.
