15. BACTERIA

16.  Bacteria are seen by most people as “undesired and dangerous”, which
is not really true.
 Many bacteria are imperative to certain processes and are used to our
advantage as long as a good balance can be maintained.
 A few examples are:
 Digestion of plants (cellulose) by ruminants as well as monogastric animals.
 The making of antibiotics by fermentation processes of certain bacteria and
fungi.
 Fermentation bacteria are used in the production of beer, wine and alcohol.
 Bacteria used to manufacture cheese and other dairy products.
 In the degradation of human and animal waste, like in sewage plants,
bacteria are vital.
BACTERIA

17. What happens in the TANK…
 Depending on the type of bacteria, bacteria needs
oxygen (aerobic bacteria) or nitrogen (anaerobic
bacteria) to grow.
 Bacteria work in 3 different ways to digest it’s feed
source (organic solids):
 Aerobic –uses oxygen in the digestion process. This
process is +/- 38 times faster than the anaerobic way.
 Anaerobic –uses sulfates in the digestion process.
 Anoxic –uses nitrates in the digestion process.

18.  Adsorb organic or other compound and then secrete an
enzyme to break it down into smaller “pieces” that are
assimilable .
 This “pieces” are then absorbed into the cell and are then
further broken down as it is used by the bacteria in it’s own
cell metabolism.
 Bacteria are very specific to the enzymes they use to break
down their nutrients, so, watch out for products that consists
of only enzymes.
 Bacteria grows exponentially (population doubles), i.e. starts
slowly and then faster and later levels out.
 It is not a chemical process and therefore bacteria needs
time.
How does bacteria work?

19.  DISINFECTANTS:
 Be careful with the use of products that is used to clean
toilets, baths and sinks – etiquette says “Safe for septic
tanks” and in the next sentence “Kills all bacteria”???.
 Soaps that contains disinfectants.
 STRONG ACIDS AND ALKALI'S:
 Acids that are used to “blow out” traps kills all bacteria. A
pH of 5-9, is optimal.
 SUNLIGHT:
 Ultraviolet rays from the sun kills bacteria.
 HEAT:
 Extreme temperatures kills or inhibits bacteria. Ideal
temperature is between 5 and 60 C.

22. The Natural Solution to
Tough Environmental
Problems

23. HISTOSOL
 The product was researched and developed over 18
years at various Laboratories and Universities.
 It is a fossilized peat mined in Georgia, USA.
 It is presumed to have formed due to a meteorite hitting
the area millions of years ago.
 The raw material consists of approximately 95% lignin.
 Histosol Bio 10 contains 6-7% free lignin.

24.  The main component, free lignin, is highly reactive.
 Can adsorb approximately 1000 times it’s own mass in gaseous and
pollutant compounds.
 The reactive surface of 1kg lignin is estimated at 90 hectares.
 Lignin has a negative cation exchange capacity of 1500 to 3000 moles
per kilogram and are able to adsorb chemical compounds that are
“charged positive” up to a 1000 times it’s own molecular mass.
 Lignin is extremely effective in controlling odorous
compounds, specifically hydrogen sulfide (H2S), mercaptans and
ammonia (NH3). It will break up and bind these smelly compounds to
form less volatile material.
HISTOSOL

31.  Histosol OP-Bio 10 contains non-pathogenic Bacillus spp. spores (15
different strains) and Paenibacillus and Nitrobacillus bacteria, that were
specifically selected to digest the following:
 Protein.
 Starch.
 Cellulose.
 Detergents.
 Fat and natural greases and oils.
 It has a bacterial count of approximately 90 billion per liter in the dormant
(spore) form.
HISTOSOL

32.  Histosol Bio 10 contains aerobic, facultative aerobic, anaerobic as well
as aero-tolerant anaerobic bacteria.
 As aerobic bacteria grows approximately 30 times faster when ample
oxygen is available.
 The bacteria utilize the compounds adsorbed by the free lignin as an
energy source, to adsorb, break down and absorb nutrients which then
forms part of the cell structure.
 Methane gas, oxygen and carbon dioxide is then released to the
atmosphere.
 By doing this, harmful organisms such as Salmonella spp. and
Escherichia coli populations are reduced by limiting it’s food source.
HISTOSOL

33.  Micro- and macro-nutrients present in the
product is an excellent stimulant to
indigenous microbial populations in
aerobic and anaerobic environments.
 Will double the degradation rates of
organic matter.
HISTOSOL

34.  Bacteria in Histosol OP-Bio 10 perform in a
pH range of 5.0 – 9.8 with the optimum
near 7.
 The effective temperature range is
between 5 and 60 C.
 As sunlight kills bacteria, it must be stored
in a covered, cool, dry place.
HISTOSOL

35.  Histosol OP-Bio 10 is non-toxic, non-
hazardous and non-corrosive.
 Friendly to the environment.
 Totally harmless to humans, animals,
birds, plants and marine life.
