Biocope - Treatment Solutions...

Biocope is a multi-enzyme product that contains no bacteria, degreasers, surfactants, or soap  products. It is not hazardous to workers and can be handled without special protective equipment.

Does Biocope work?

A true enzyme product is a catalyst that promotes a reaction, but is not used up in the  reaction.  Catalytic enzymes require no outside energy to initiate the reaction.

Biocope hydrolyzes grease, reducing it to smaller molecules that are no longer grease and are  unable to recoagulate.  The organics resulting from treatment with Biocope are smaller, more soluble, and easier for bacteria to process to biomass, water, carbon dioxide, and methane in anaerobic environments.

Biocope has been the subject of several masters' theses at Texas Tech University.  The studies include Biocope's reduction of volatile solids, and the comparison of the degree to which several wastewater treatment additives are able to degrade volatile fatty acids.

Where is Biocope used?

Grease Traps:  In prisons, grease  trap pumping was decreased from once per month to once every six to eight months.

Lift Stations: Used for grease and  odor control that results in less maintenance and less corrosion.

Collection Lines:  Thins the slime layer, which reduces the amount of H₂S  produced. Odor and corrosion are reduced.  Speeds up bacterial activity and turns the collection system into a linear pretreatment system, thus improving the condition of the influent entering the treatment facility, thereby reducing the treatment needed at the treatment plant.

Wastewater Plants:  Reduces sludge, filamentous bacteria, algae, and decreases the amount of aeration needed.

Digesters:  In aerobic  digesters, aeration can be reduced or stopped, and volatile solids can be reduced by 30% or more. In anaerobic digesters, more methane is produced, volatile solids are reduced, and volatile fatty acids are degraded to acetic and propionic acids.

Lagoons: Reduces the need for sludge dredging and stabilizes nutrients' levels.
