Hydrocarbon Remediation

Epicore microbial products offer environmentally friendly ways to remediate contamination produced by man or nature. EPIZYM-HC Microbial Ecosystem for Hydrocarbon Digestion uses microbial degradation to breakdown contaminating hydrocarbons, enzymatically converting them under aerobic conditions into carbon dioxide, water and microbial cells.

EPIZYM-HC Microbial Inoculant is a unique multi-component formulation which promotes the biodegradation of crude oil and petroleum products in contaminated soil and fresh or salt water under aerobic conditions. EPIZYM-HC contains natural microorganisms that possess broad-spectrum oxidizing activity that biodegrades aromatic, paraffinic or asphaltic crudes to carbon dioxide, water and microbial cells. The microorganisms in EPIZYM-HC also metabolize chemical intermediates such as organic acids, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and esters produced from biodegradation of crude oil.

Bioremediation System

The system of products used in conjunction with EPIZYM-HC is designed to emulsify, disperse and solubilize crude oil or refined petroleum products, converting these materials through microbial and enzyme action into non-polluting end products. Efficient action is dependent on the establishment of a definitive relationship between:

• Salt tolerant EPIZYM EMULSIFIER, which efficiently disperses hydrocarbons in fresh or sea water and which wets oil contaminated soil to facilitate microbial contact.
• Specialized hydrocarbon metabolizing microorganisms in EPIZYM-HC that function in fresh or sea water, or in soil.
• Nutrients in EPIZYM NUTRIPAK that are necessary for microbial growth.

Wastewater Treatment Products

EPIZYM-100 Microbial Ecosystem is a highly concentrated microbial ecosystem containing specialized natural microorganisms selected for maximum efficiency in the biodegradation of industrial and municipal wastewater. With its unique blend of aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms, EPIZYM-100 secretes significantly greater concentrations of highly effective enzymes than most natural strains. The formulation promotes the biodegradation of various toxicants, increases digestion rates and improves terminal flocculation in wastewater treatment systems, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of aerobic wastewater treatment systems. EPIZYM-100 enzymatically alters the physical structure of suspended organic solids, causing them to separate more efficiently. The reduced sludge volume resulting from the more thorough digestion of waste is due to the more complete liquefaction and gasification of organic materials in the wastewater and the destruction of water-binding molecules.
