How Bio-Catalytic Bubble Shells Clean Wastewater

Bio-Organic Catalyst (BOC) uses bio-catalytic interfacial engineering to transform standard water aeration into a highly efficient cleaning system.

What It Is:

A low-dose product (1–4 ppm) combining two core ingredients:

• Fermentation Supernatant (~20%): Yeast extracts containing amino acids, oligopeptides, and vitamins—with no live cells or added enzymes.
• Non-Ionic Surfactant (~9%): Plant-based surfactant that lowers water surface tension.

How It Works:

• Microbubble Formation: Yeast biomolecules and surfactants cluster to form tiny microbubbles () at concentrations far lower than standard surfactants require.
• Permeable Shell: Creates a loosely packed, highly gas-permeable shell around an air core rather than a tight barrier.
• Oxygen Reservoir: Sub-millimeter bubbles rise slowly, carrying oxygen through the entire water volume and keeping dissolved oxygen above standard saturation levels.
• Targeted Breakdown: Oxygen delivered across the shell breaks down fats, oils, grease, and biofilm matrices on contact, allowing native microbes to digest the waste without adding chemicals or biocides.

Proven Field Impact:

• Dissolved Oxygen: Boosted DO from 0.1–2.8 ppm to 6.0–9.9 ppm (~5x increase) in industrial wastewater.
• Grease Removal: Reduced Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) in a grease trap from 18,000 mg/L to 160 mg/L in 24 hours.
• Odor & Slime Control: Dissolves biofilm slime layers and suppresses hydrogen sulfide () odors.

By converting air bubbles into mobile oxygen stores and reactive cleaning platforms, BOC improves wastewater treatment with lower energy and zero added bacteria or biocides.
