The biological foundationProprietary composition.
Proprietary composition.
One biological principle.
BIOFOX supports biological processing of organic matter in water, sludge, manure and poultry litter. We combine a proprietary formulation, assessment of operating conditions and technical support.
Proprietary composition
Naturally occurring microorganisms, organic substances and catalysts form a proprietary composition in one product. It is designed to support the breakdown of organic pollutants, including proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
Microbial activity
Available organic compounds enter microbial metabolism and contribute to biomass formation. We relate the biological process to each site’s operating conditions.
Enzymatic activity
Enzymes help break complex organic matter into more accessible compounds as part of the biological processing of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
How it works
How complex organic matter breaks down
BIOFOX combines enzymes and live probiotic cultures. Under suitable conditions, the cultures release their own enzymes into the material being treated.
- 01
Contact with organic matter
The solution is distributed through the treated medium. Dosing points follow the facility’s process layout.
- 02
Enzymatic hydrolysis
Enzymes break down proteins into peptides and amino acids, starch into sugars, and fats into glycerol and fatty acids.
- 03
Microbial activity
Microorganisms use the products of hydrolysis for growth and energy. During aerobic treatment, some organic carbon becomes part of the biomass and some is oxidised to CO₂.
- 04
Checking the outcome
At treatment plants, effluent BOD and COD are compared under similar loading conditions. In lagoons, sediment condition and odour intensity are monitored separately.
Within a real system
Technology responds to its environment.
Loading and composition
How much organic matter enters, how inflow varies and what has accumulated in the system.
Biological conditions
Oxygen conditions, pH, temperature and contact between the product and treated medium.
Measurable outcomes
Defined sampling points, analyses and operator observations, with separate indicators for water and sludge.
Laboratory control
Viability. Under control.
We monitor the product’s microbiological parameters in the laboratory. CFU means colony-forming units, a measure of viable microorganisms. Our analytical team prepares a site-specific application and monitoring programme.
