Ultra-Archaea are a naturally occurring collection of archaea microbes developed by UltraTech for bioremediation, meaning they are used to break down oil, grease, and other organic waste. Cultivated from harsh environments like volcanic vents, these microbes are hardy, fast-acting, and can digest a wide range of hydrocarbons. They are sold in various forms for different applications, such as shakers with bentonite clay for smaller spills, water-soluble packets for grease traps, and tablets for general use.

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.
