Evogen Clarity is a powder product specially formulated to help reduce odours, tackle sludge build-up and combat algal growth. It is ideal for use within both wastewater systems and large bodies of water such as lagoons and ponds.
The product utilises a specially selected inorganic carrier and a unique application specific consortium of Bacillus, designed to combat excess sludge and algae issues for a range of water types (fresh, brackish and saline).
The inorganic carrier within Evogen Clarity contains a slow release oxygen source that when fully hydrated, is converted to molecular oxygen and sodium carbonate. This helps to oxygenate anaerobic zones and balance the pH to favour the growth of the Bacillus component within the product.
The oxygenation of anaerobic zones combats odours generated from septic conditions by raising the local redox potential of the area and by providing a higher energy electron acceptor in the form of oxygen. This in turn switches off processes such as sulphate reduction which results in a lower sulphide production potential.
The use of Bacillus which possess a broad extracellular enzyme capability combined with an ability to grow in both aerobic and low oxygen environments, enables the product to effectively tackle sludge from a wide range of sources. From plant matter and fish wastes of ponds to septic sludge at the bottom of lagoons, the diverse extracellular enzyme capability of the Bacillus within Evogen Clarity ensures a good proportion shall be broken down and metabolised.
The use of several Bacillus species which grow synergistically, provide a consortium that are not only metabolically diverse but capable of performing over a range of temperature and pH ranges.
With good growth rates under both high strength industrial type effluents and lower strength municipal wastewaters, Evogen Clarity provides the operator with a versatile technology to tackle a multitude of scenarios. From treating stagnant water bodies to industrial wastewater systems, the heterotrophic growth parameters of the Bacillus consortium are well suited for wastewater treatment across a range of effluent types.
Through genomic profiling Genesis Biosciences has identified strains of Bacillus that produce algacidal compounds such as bacilysin, that are capable of impacting the growth of harmful algal bloom species.
A cocktail of enzymes combined with diverse secondary metabolite profiles ensure the Bacillus provide a sustained capacity to breakdown polymeric materials such as cellulose, FOG, proteins and DNA. Thus, keeping effluent cleaner and clearer.
