Natural cleaning products
BECs are Bio enzymatic cleaners that use nature’s process of biological decomposition in its technology. Natural biological decomposition has kept the environment in perfect equilibrium since the beginning of time. This ongoing process is the work of trillions of tiny, naturally occurring, living microorganisms that use organic waste as their food and energy source.
Cleaning agents based on this technology harnesses this natural process to meet today’s need for cleaning, odour control and waste elimination without the use of potentially harmful chemicals. By harnessing natural processes, bio-products provide both immediate effect and long term residual for cleaning and odour control. The residual cleaning effects and the extended microbial cleaning capabilities provide penetration and organic removal efficacy unmatched by any standard chemical products.
Cleaning and odour control applications
Spills not only stain visible surfaces, they seep also into cracks & crevices and the microscopic pores of surfaces such as tiles, concrete, wood and grout. Over time, surfaces can appear dull and dirty because the organics have only been partially removed. Malodours are generated by residual organics.
Chemical products provide cleaning plus after-cleaning effects of microbial action. The microorganisms penetrate into cracks, crevices and pores of surfaces, the same places spills and grease collect. The microbes use grease and organics as a “food source”, converting it to harmless water and gas, thus leaving the area absolutely clean and odourless.
This residual deep cleaning is effective in many different applications.
Floor Cleaning
Many chemical products clean floor surfaces, but they don’t provide the residual cleaning effects of microbes. Says J. Lakhani, Managing Director, Lemmens Shardlow (India) Pvt. Ltd, “the microorganisms in Biosol cleaning products go to work after the initial cleaning is done. They penetrate into cracks and crevices of floor surfaces to degrade and digest spills, grease and other accumulated material leaving floors cleaner. Additional benefits include removing organic soils from grout to make floors visibly cleaner and removing accumulated grease to reduce slippage. Moisture is a limiting factor and accumulated organics may not be removed in one washing. With routine cleaning, the effect is enhanced with each application until floors are truly deep cleaned. Undesirable environmental microbes may also be displaced by safer Biosol microbes.”
Carpet Cleaning
Microbial technology is ideal for cleaning carpets. When food or urine is spilled on carpets, these organics seep into the carpet backing and padding and into the pores of the wooden sub-flooring or concrete under the carpet. Standard cleaning agents may be effective at cleaning the surface fibres, but cannot remove residual organics that cause stains and odours to reappear, even after cleaning. The microorganisms in cleaning agents follow organics into the pores or “micro-niches,” where they destroy the organics leaving carpets clean and odour free.
Drain line & grease trap applications
Bio-products keep drains clog-free and grease traps functioning efficiently. Products for drains and grease traps employ the same technology used by municipalities to clean grease-laden collection systems and by industrial waste treatment facilities to optimize oily waste water treatment.
When used in drain lines and grease traps bio-products work in conjunction with indigenous organisms to develop thin, active bio-films that line the surfaces of pipes and traps. These highly active microbes continue to grow on the surfaces by degrading grease and organics found in line deposits and in the waste stream. New microbes produced by this growth continue to eliminate grease and organics in several ways. In additions to further developing this active bio-film, they may pass into the waste stream to colonize pipes downstream. Or they may grow in the waste stream itself where they continue to eliminate grease and organics. They activate the entire system for grease removal. Regular addition of microbial products maintains a highly active system.
Drain systems generally flow by gravity and are prone to problems such as stoppages or backups. Elimination of the greasy deposits keeps drains and drain lines free-flowing.
Grease traps are designed to collect grease; preventing its passage downstream. However, since microorganisms can survive in the grease trap environment, natural microbes are always present. Some of the grease and organics are broken down to feed these natural microbes. By replacing the naturally occurring strains with highly effective grease degrading strains, much larger quantities of deposited grease can be degraded.
Odour treatment applications
The same biological action that provides deep cleaning could also deliver long-term odour control. By binding, surrounding, and removing the organics that cause odours, bio-products eliminate odours and prevent their return.
Specialized formulations like Biosol cling to hard surfaces, allowing microbes to degrade trapped and adsorbed organic material. It is ideal for cleaning and odour control in toilets, urinals, walls, floors and fixtures in bathrooms.
“Unlike standard treatments, bio-products act to remove the odour at its source, thus preventing its return. Combining immediate control and long term destruction of the sources of odours, bio-products offer more effective odour control than standard chemical treatments. No other technology works as well to eliminate persistent odours.
In addition to cleaning applications, bio-products can be used as a direct spray to control odours in applications such as bathrooms, garbage collection areas, pet cages, auto interiors, musty basements, campers, and summer homes,” says Lakhani.
Waste degradation/ waste water treatment
Nature evolved a fundamental biological process to keep components of our environment in perfect equilibrium. Microbes degrade waste organics converting them into simple building blocks, which are then used to rebuild complex organics. This Cycle provides a balance of resources and gives nature the ability to renew itself. However, man’s ability to contaminate the environment can exceed the rate of natural biological processes. Environmental contamination such as polluted water and airborne malodour chemicals occurs because the natural microbial population cannot degrade the organics as fast as they are building. “Bio-products technology helps nature clean itself by introducing highly specialised, naturally occurring microorganisms with enhanced degradation capabilities.
It can successfully be used in treating septic tanks, sewage treatment plant and related areas of waste degradation. We believe the use of safe microbial technology is a sustainable solution for cleaning and maintenance while protecting our workers, our children, and our environment.”
Other areas
Specialized bio-formulations are designed to remove motor oil, grease, and heavy grime from concrete walkways, garage floors, and driveways. These environment-friendly cleaners continue to work to initiate the degradation of the contaminants removed.
Safe, effective bio-enzymes cleaners remove embarrassing and bothersome pet strains and odours. Bio-products are excellent for heavy-duty sue in zoos or kennels or homeowner use on pet bedding, in pet cages, and on hard surface areas such as concrete, tile, or wood where pet stains and odours are a problem.
