Biological Water Treatment
WaterStax uses all natural bioremediation technology, which economically removes oils, grease, hydrocarbons, herbicides, pesticides and insecticides from wastewater. Unlike other systems that must dispose of the filtered contaminants, WaterStax literally consumes the wastes, converting it to harmless water and carbon dioxide.
The process of converting the hydrocarbon contaminants into carbon dioxide and water is called beta-oxidation, and more specifically catabolism.
Since beta-oxidation is enhanced in aerobic conditions, the WaterStax is aerated at night when washing doesn’t occur." Bacteria break down complex organic compounds through a series of coupled chemical reactions termed catabolism. For respiratory bacteria, the central pathways involved in metabolism are glycosis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport system.
The overall generalised reaction is:CH O (complex carbon) + O2 = CO2 + H2O + energy
This equation represents the complete conversion of the complex carbon compound, also called the substrate, to carbon dioxide and water, a process called mineralisation. Energy attained in the form of the ATP is used for a variety of cellular activities, including synthesis of new cell components and motility” (Source: Baker and Herson. Bioremediation. (1994, 1999) McGraw-Hill).
BioStax microbe solution is non-toxic and free of pathogens and meets all current and proposed regulations for biological treatment.
