Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) (5 days, 20 ° C), is the amount of dissolved oxygen used by microorganisms in the biological process of metabolizing organic matter in water. The more organic matter there is (e.g., in sewage and polluted bodies of water), the greater the BOD; and the greater the BOD, the lower the amount of dissolved oxygen available for higher animals such as fishes. The BOD is therefore a reliable gauge of the organic pollution of a body of water. One of the main reasons for treating wastewater prior to its discharge into a water resource is to lower its BOD—i.e., reduce its need of oxygen and thereby lessen its demand from the streams, lakes, rivers, or estuaries into which it is released.
- They are safe for piping and users.
- They do not damage the biological treatment in biological treatment plants, unlike chemical products.
- They act for hours or even days after their initial use and not just locally like chemicals.
- They are not caustic or corrosive and they are not harmful to pets (if they come in contact with them).
- They are safe for the environment, do not burden it and contain natural microorganisms (not genetically modified).
- They do not accumulate on aquifers and do not contain chlorinated solvents.
The microorganisms contained in Biofree break down the fat that accumulates in the pipes and thus prevent “clogging” and bad odors.
All types of waste treatment are found in nature.
From a simple septic tank system to a complex biological treatment system, the same basic principles are used.
Organic waste is broken down by the creation of natural bacteria that metabolize the substrate (sewage).
Created or existing bacteria are often destroyed due to the daily use of detergents in septic systems and greas retention systems (grease traps) or by chemical overload or additional hydraulic load.
We help the processing system, occasionally adding more bacteria.
The added bacteria under suitable conditions multiply and dissolve organic residues (sewage).
The products of microorganisms offer a purely environmental solution for the control of the treatment of organic wastewater, in combination with proper mechanical construction of the treatment system and its organized management.
Proper use of microorganism products offers an economical and reliable method of waste management in biological treatment and sewerage systems.
Our products operate in a wide range of temperatures, from 5 ° to 45 ° and at pH from pH4 to pH10.
