SKBiO

Oil-degradation system with SKBiO

Sometimes oil causes problems?
  • Low-perormance of aging pressure floatation device
  • Overload operation due to increased production
  • Inflow of oil content due to changes in production
  • Difficult to separate and collect soluble oil
  • Unstable n-Hex value of treated water

Product Introduction

SKBiO is a microbial formulation for wastewater treatment made of a pure culture of microorganisms that have a particularly high level of biodegradation potential. It is intended for use on persistent substances that cannot be treated with ordinary microbial degradation. The microorganisms adopted in SKB-141 have excellent oil-degrading potential, which makes for a wastewater treatment system with reduced sludge production when compared to the use of pressure floatation device or other similar systems that physically collect oil.

Microorganisms used in SKBiO have undergone safety tests by a third-party organization to ensure your safe use.

Applications

For industrial wastewater treatment at facilities that discharge animal/plant oil, such as prepared meal manufacturing plants, frozen food plants, school lunch centers, bread making factories, and condiment plants.

Not suitable for use in the degradation of mineral oil.

Features

Features of Oil-degrading Microbial Formulation SKB-141
  1. 1.Original microorganisms with great oil-degrading potential

    We acquired microorganisms with high biodegradation potential from nature (applied for patent)

    Immobilized oil-degrading microorganisms can…
    • ・ Achieve stable treatment
    • ・ Reduce the amount of microbial formulation to be used
    Oil-degrading microorganisms swiftly attach to the AQUACUBE

    • * Also applicable to biological treatment systems that use activated sludge process, rotating biological contactor, etc.
    • * AQUACUBE is a microorganism immobilization carrier originally designed and developed by Sekisui Aqua Systems.
  3. 3.The latest genetic analysis technologies for microorganisms in sludge

    Applied genetic analysis technologies as DGGE and real-time PCR are used for microorganism analysis.

    Quantitive data is able to show the dominant microorganisms in sludge, and provide a cost-effective operations.
