A range of chemical odour counteractant technologies have been developed and are now used in major retail brands. Genesis Biosciences has taken the best of these technologies and combined it with bacteria, which gives a dual approach on odour problems:
– The eco-benign® chemical odour counteractant binds any existing odour molecules, preventing them from being detected by the nose
– The application-specific bacteria within the product possess a diverse metabolic capability to degrade a wide range of both odour compounds and nutrient sources that have the potential to generate odours.
How it works
The product works through a complementary relationship between the chemical and biological components. The chemical component acts to give an immediate to medium term reduction in odour whilst the biological component acts to tackle the root cause of odour delivering long-term control.
Both classical microbiological techniques and genomic methodologies have been used to select specific strains of Bacillus that are capable of degrading a wide range of polymeric materials and different volatile compounds which generate malodour such as amines, volatile fatty acids and sulphur containing organics.
A wide range of extracellular enzymes help to degrade various organic solids helping combat the long term causes of odour generation at source.
The Bacillus consortium within Evogen General Odour Controller are not only metabolically diverse but are capable of performing over a range of temperature and pH ranges, offering the operator a versatile technology to tackle odour across a diverse range of settings from landfills and piggeries to industrial wastewater treatment works.
The product can be used to improve plant performance to meet emissions directives.
