Ultra-Archaea Microbes for Oil Spill Pollution Cleanup, 28 oz Shaker

UltraTech 28-ounces is an Ultra-microbes shaker. The Ultra-microbes are in bentonite clay powder which offers a moist environment that is needed for them to survive.

Features:

• Offers a moist environment needed to survive.
• Suitable for application on contained areas and smaller spills.
• Features waterproof, resealable and waterproof containers which keep all microbes dry and dormant till needed.
• Typical shelf life of 4 years.
• Weight - 1.8 pounds

ULTRA-ARCHAEA, SHAKERS

• Ultra-Archaea are housed in a bentonite clay powder that provides the slightly moist environment needed for them to live.
• Two sizes of shakers available for application on smaller spills or contained areas.
• Resealable/water-proof containers keep microbes dry/dormant until they are needed.

Ultra-Archaea Microbes: Supercharging Mother Nature

What is the best way to clean up oil spills after they occur? Nature has this down to a science. Wherever there is a natural oil seepage on the earth, nature has placed oil-degrading microorganisms into that environment. Nature is able to clean up after itself, but it takes time. It's a slow, natural healing process — nature's own pollution control. The problem is that mankind now puts far more hydrocarbon pollution into the environment than nature can quickly remove. UltraTech has a 100% natural way of speeding up nature. By adding Ultra-Archaea to a contaminated environment, we can speed up the rate of natural degradation and help the bio-remediation process occur in days and weeks rather than months or years.

Where do they come from?
Ultra-Archaea are an archaea-based consortium of over one hundred different species of microbes that are cultivated from rugged environments such as undersea vents or sites where there is volcanic activity. They are then bred and naturally enhanced in sea water and ammonia using sweet Texas crude oil as their only food source. 100% Natural.

The result is 100% natural, hardy and fast-acting microbes that have an affinity for oil and other hydrocarbons, as well as organic waste. This specific consortium of microbes (Ultra-Archaea) has not been genetically altered or engineered. These naturally occurring microbes have been on the EPA National Contingency List since its inception.

How do they work?
Ultra-Archaea will digest hydrocarbon molecules and break them down into harmless byproducts of water, carbon dioxide and lipids (a natural, soluble fatty material that is food for fish and plants). The more complex the hydrocarbon, the longer this process may take (for example, kerosene and diesel will be consumed more quickly than motor oil). This naturally occurring process is supercharged by adding these specific microbes to any oil spill or contaminated area (see list of known applications in the table below). It infuses as many as 5 billion microbes per gram into an oil spill, greasy catch basin, oil/water separator, etc. and within hours these microbes have reproduced from billions per gram to trillions. With water, oxygen and an organic food source (such as oil) these microbes will form vast colonies and digest and remediate oil on land and on water, as well as grease traps, septic tanks, storm drains and almost any other area where contaminants are present.

What happens to them when they are done?
After approximately ninety days or when the microbes have been deprived of water, oxygen, or a food source, the microbe colony will begin to naturally die off, allowing the indigenous microbes to return to pre-contamination levels.

How are they shipped?
The Ultra-Archaea are shipped dormant in a bentonite-clay based carrier. When the carrier dissolves in water, the microbes become activated and water may become temporarily murky due to the infusion of the clay. This is to be expected.

What else do I need to know?
Ultra-Archaea products should be stored and applied between 40°F and 120°F. Temperatures outside that range may cause the microbes to become ineffective. Ultra-Archaea should not be exposed to radiation. Ultra-Archaea should only be used in applications where the pH is between 5.5 and 9.5.

MICROBES ARE NOT JUST FOR OIL SPILLS. HERE ARE SOME OTHER KNOWN APPLICATIONS:

• Waste Water Treatment Plant — Industrial (refineries, pulp mills, chemical
  plants, steel mills, textile plants)
• Waste Water Treatment Plant — Municipal (collection systems, food processing)
• Plumbing Maintenance — sinks, grease traps
• Spill Control
• Septic Tanks
• Odor Control
• Bioremediation — soil, water, stormwater
• Agriculture/Aquaculture — eliminating ammonia, stormwater
• Oily Water — oil/water separators, containment sumps,
  lagoons

Ultra-Archaea Finish First In BP Report   In 2011, Louisiana State University conducted testing at the request of British Petroleum, Ltd. (BP).  The mission was to conduct tests using bioremediation products listed on the USEPA National Contingency Plan Product List (NCPPL) with weathered crude oil deposited on marsh and sands in Bay Jimmy, Louisiana.   Of the ten products on the USEPA National Contingency Plan Product List (NCPPL) that were tested, the Formula used to make the Ultra-Archaea finished first. This data clearly suggested that the Ultra-Archaea have the capability to quickly degrade all hydrocarbon products and reduce or eliminate the toxic conditions of an oil spill.
