A NATURAL MEANS 'OF TREATING ORGANIC WASTES From the oceans through the energy of the sun , life began with the crea- tion of organic chemical molecules . The first orders of life were single celled organisms . Bacteria can lay claim to being one of the most suc- essful representatives of life on our planet . Man ' s existence has been short compared to their own of some 32 billion years . Over these millions and millions of years , life has begun and ended time and time again , Nature has wisely chosen plans to continually renew and recycle , rather than merely accumulate organic matter through the means of microbial processes . Scientists refer to these processes as element cycles , there being a nitrogen cycle , a carbon cycle , a sulfur cycle and the like . Fortunately to carry out this work , microbial life abounds . In fact , it has been estimated that the combined weight of microbial cells on earth is about twenty-five times that of the earth ' s animal life . So obviously only a minute proportion is not beneficial . Their size is incredibly small . One cubic inch of pure typical bacteria ,.,ou1d contain over nine trillion organisms . Yet , they have continued to effectively cleanse our planet . In the large population areas of developed countries , wastewater treat- ment plants have been built to enhance the efficiency of biodegradation processes and thereby minimize the harmful effect of pollution to streams , lakes and adjacent areas . Wastewater treatment is man ' s Largest use of biological processes . • THE STANDARD OF THE INDUSTRY Advanced Bio Cultures formulations are based upon natural occurring bacteria , which have been specifically selected and carefully matched to give outstanding performance . Through extensive quality control methods , individual organisms are grown in pure form , preserved , and then combined . This minimizes any unwanted contaminants that would inter- fere with the desired organisms . This accounts for the superior organic breakdowns by the Advanced Bio Cultures formulations over ubiquitous organisms and competitive products . Individual organisms have been chosen by their ability to work in concert with their counterparts in handling the complex array of compositions usually present in wastestreams , particularly phenols , oils , greases , hydrocarbons , pesticides and tars , and to reduce them to harmless end products . Formulations have been designed for use in existing facilities . Solmar Corp . offers several different formulations . These have been tailored to effectively give better organic breakdowns in a variety of industrial wastestreams as well as domestic sewage . No single formu- lation can possibly deal with all wastestreams as well as domestic sew- age . There are numerous , complex interrelationships between the multi- tude of organisms necessary to complete the task of giving acceptable cleanup . These interrelations may even change depending upon the chem- ical compositions present within a given system . The organisms used in the Advanced Bio Cultures formulations are pri- marily facultative organisms which can be used under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions . None of the organisms are capable of generating hydrogen sulfide under anaerobic conditions .
