Ultra Archaea
Ultra-Archaea is an archaea-based collection of over one hundred different species of microbes that are cultivated from rugged environments such as undersea vents or sites where there is volcanic activity. They are then cultivated with crude oil as the only food source. Therefore they grow on thousands of organic compounds from benzene to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 100% natural. Odors are eliminated within a few hours to a day.
The result is 100% natural, hardy and fast-acting microbes that have an affinity for oil and other hydrocarbons, as well as organic waste. This specific collection of microbes (Ultra-Archaea) has not been genetically altered or engineered. These naturally occurring microbes have been on the EPA National Contingency List since its inception.
Practical Applications:
Microbes are not just for oil spills—here are some other known applications:
• Waste Water Treatment Plant — Industrial (refineries, pulp mills, chemical plants, steel mills, textile plants)
• Waste Water Treatment Plant — Municipal (collection systems, food processing) Plumbing Maintenance — sinks, grease traps
• Spill Control
• Septic Tanks
• Odor Control
• Bioremediation — soil, water, stormwater
• Agriculture/Aquaculture — eliminating ammonia, stormwater
• Oily Water — oil/water separators, containment sumps, lagoons RV and boat black water holding tanks
• Bilges of boats
Ultra-Archaea – Booms
• Specially-treated polyethylene (LLDPE) foam used in Ultra-Archaea Booms allows it to float on the water’s surface while also absorbing oil.
• Microbe tablets (6) are inserted into slits in the foam sleeves — extended water contact causes the tablets to slowly dissolve, releasing the microbes into the water.
• Booms can be dropped in, or tied off in catch basins (lanyards included), oil/ water separators or other areas where oily water can collect.
• Dimensions: 6″ x 4″ x 1″ (152mm x 102mm x 25mm).
• Sold in 6-packs.
