Aquipond BactoRain 1 KG - Rainwater Tank & MicroStation Treatment - Stop Odors

Due to its non-soluble formulation, the product, once spread, will settle and settle on the bottom of the rainwater tank. The various micro-organisms will then carry out their work by feeding on the organic matter present in the sludge, thus breaking it down into CO2 and water. In order to feed themselves, aerobic bacteria produce "exo-enzymes", substances that cut the long carbon chains into increasingly smaller chains.

This first step will generate degraded components small enough to be ingested by the bacteria. Subsequently, inside the bacteria, other types of enzymes, called "endo-enzymes", will degrade the assimilated components and use them for the proper functioning of their metabolism. Through this process, all that will remain from the organic matter is CO2 and H2O. In these aerobic conditions, the microorganisms multiply very quickly: they reproduce every twenty minutes.

The multiplication of bacteria consumes matter. Indeed, to exist a new bacterium uses carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen (CHON) Thanks to this proliferation of bacteria, protozoa (microorganisms higher than bacteria in the trophic chain) will develop little by little, these feeding on bacteria. They will in turn be eaten by other more developed organisms... Through this degradation, we finally obtain a significant reduction in the initial height of the sludge, this reduction being variable according to the organic matter content of the sludge at the time of treatment.
