Nature provides us with a system to convert the waste products of humans and animals into materials that plants need to grow and produce the food source that are required to sustain life. In a very simplified definition of nature’s cycle, various forms of facultative bacteria are a part of the digestive system. Facultative bacteria can live in two conditions or states. The job assigned to the facultative bacteria along with support bacteria is to convert waste into plant food. Facultative bacteria can live and do the job assigned by nature in two defined conditions.

Anaerobic or the septic state is the condition where the bacteria do not have a readily available source of oxygen, (such as in the digestive system of humans and animals). The anaerobic state also exists out of the digestive system in un-aerated concentrations of waste such as a septic tank or any type of sewage holding tank.

Aerobic state is the condition where the bacteria have a readily available source of oxygen, such as from air or from compounds that can supply the bacteria with the oxygen necessary to produce and maintain the aerobic state. The aerobic state is waste decaying in the forest or an open field without producing odours.

Clear streams, the ocean, a clean lake or pond, are examples of the aerobic state of decomposition.

In the anaerobic state bacteria must obtain the oxygen needed to survive by utilising the oxygen in various compounds in the biomass. Because the oxygen is not readily available, the bacteria work around this by producing enzymes. The enzymes allow the various available compounds to be reduced to release the oxygen contained in the various molecules so that the bacteria can use it.

The basic by-products of the anaerobic bacterial process are sulphides, ammonia gas, and methane gas. Small quantities of sulphides will produce Hydrogen Sulphide gas (H2S). The H2S gas is a particularly nasty product. The bad smell of H2S gas serves to warn humans of the danger. H2S gas mixed with moisture or water forms Sulphuric Acid.

Sulphuric acid destroys the odour sensing nerves in the human odour detection system and also destroys the ability of the lungs to absorb oxygen. The corrosive acid will dissolve metal, concrete and just about any structure or equipment that it contacts.

H2S gas in concentration is deadly to humans and animals, it is explosive and has been shown to cause irreparable damage to the human neurological system.

Aerobic bacteria or bacteria with a readily available source of oxygen do not have to do (a work around to survive) and have been found to be many times more effective at digesting waste. It has been shown that aerobic bacteria can achieve in as little as 6 to 8 hours what anaerobic bacteria would take over 60 days to achieve. In the aerobic state production of sulphides, ammonia and methane is eliminated and the bacteria produce only small quantities of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Nitrogen gas (N2) as well as the nutrients required by plants.

To Sum up: the aerobic state digests much more waste than the anaerobic state and produces no toxic by-products such as H2s.

BioMagic products have the ability to supply more oxygen than is normally available in nature. The super-oxygenated condition creates what is described as hyper activity in the aerobic bacteria. We do not have data to quantify the benefits of the hyper activity, but it is commonly acknowledged that the hyper active aerobic condition should or could digest more waste and do it faster than the normal aerobic condition.

The concept behind the development of BioMagic products was to be able to accelerate the conversion of a biomass to the aerobic state, without the necessity of spreading the biomass out over a large area for contact with air. Or mechanically pumping air into the biomass, which some sewage systems use.

The proprietary formula of BioMagic products supplies a safe and easy to apply source of oxygen to a biomass to obtain the benefits of the aerobic state.

The oxygen in BioMagic products causes two reactions when added to a biomass.

INSTANT ODOUR ELIMINATION

This is the one of the greatest advantages of using BioMagic.

The instant odour or elimination of the H2S is accomplished via a chemical reaction. The oxygen in the BioMagic reacts with the sulphides to reduce the sulphides to non-smelly compounds and/or elements.

The more sulphides in the biomass, the more BioMagic is required to reduce the sulphides. Misting BioMagic products in H2S laden air instantly eliminates the H2S. Adding BioMagic products to a H2S producing biomass will instantly eliminate the odour.

The second action of the oxygen in BioMagic products is to produce the aerobic state in the biomass. The biological reaction does not happen instantly it can take about twenty minutes to hours. The conversion time is a function of parameters of the biomass.

BioMagic products are formulated with compounds that provide as rapidly as possible conversion to the aerobic state and a long-term component that provides a longer lasting oxygen releasing action.

BioMagic products have the minerals bacteria need to accelerate growth and digestive capabilities.

2...Residue or residual compounds after bacterial action. NONE

When BioMagic products are added to a biomass it’s the equivalent of supplying oxygen by aeration. The big advantage of using BioMagic products is that the amount or quantity of oxygen available to bacteria may be set by the dosing rate to about the same as good aeration. By increasing the dosage more oxygen can be made available to bacteria than is possible through aeration.

Grossly over dosing with BioMagic can supply oxygen levels high enough to be classed as a killer of bacteria, IE a disinfectant.

BioMagic products supply oxygen in a liquid stable compound containing massive amounts of loosely associated oxygen molecules, loosely bound to nitrogen molecules. Bacteria are able to use the oxygen and the nitrogen is released as a gas.

The result of the action is that bacteria are supplied with more oxygen than is possible with aeration and the BioMagic product is totally consumed and/or released as a harmless odourless gas.

Chlorine bleach and other similar disinfectants will react with the BioMagic and produce less than desirable results.

1...In the concentrated state that BioMagic products are normally used, mixing a product that contains chlorine, (such as bleach), will produce a reaction, releasing gasses that are harmful.

2...Mixing highly diluted BioMagic products with chlorine products may not produce noticeable harmful gas or products. However, the disinfectants will eliminate the bacteria thereby eliminating the desirable properties of BioMagic.

3...Various chemical compounds are used to disinfect or kill bacteria. Many chemicals available for portable sewage systems, (as used in boats, RV and camping etc), will, when mixed with BioMagic products, render them totally ineffective.

4...Many disinfectants such as bleach and hydrogen peroxide have a short or limited effective time. Dosing a biomass with most disinfectants reduces or eliminates the bacterial action until the disinfectant is dissipated. When this happens the odour returns. BioMagic products remain effective until the bacteria use up all the oxygen supplied.

1...If the BioMagic product used is to primarily eliminate odours, and the biomass is not held nor has very low retention time, the dosage required is generally determined by the dissolved sulphides present in the biomass. The larger the amount of sulphides present, the more BioMagic product will be required, to neutralise it.

2...The quantity of sulphides in a biomass are generally determined by the state of the active bacteria and the age of the biomass. A highly anaerobic, high BOD biomass will produce undesirable quantities of sulphides, the longer it is allowed to age.

3...Dosing with a BioMagic product as close to the source and as soon as the biomass is generated is the most effective dosage method.

4...In conditions where longer-term odour control is desired, the retention time and the BOD of the biomass should be used to determine the dosage. Assuming that the initial dosage of the biomass eliminated the sulphides, dosing to maintain the aerobic condition so that new sulphides are not produced is determined by the BOD of the biomass and in general, the length of time the aerobic state is desired.

5...If a biomass is held in the aerobic state until the BOD is low, (like a mountain stream or a clear and clean pond), normal aeration will, in many situations, supply enough oxygen to retain the aerobic state. Adding waste to the stream or pond will increase the BOD and if the waste is more than normal aeration can handle, the biomass will become anaerobic or septic and starts producing sulphides.

Misting a diluted BioMagic product into an air mass will allow the oxygen to react with H2S gas. The reaction chemically eliminates the H2S gas.

The smaller the droplet size of the BioMagic, the more effective it will be. Droplets of 2 or 3 microns tend to float and stay in the air longer than larger droplets but generally 10 microns is more effective enough.

Depending on the application, BioMagic products can be diluted up to 25:1 (or more), with water.

The dilution ratio is a function of the concentration of the H2S in the air.

If the droplets are small enough they do not cause wetting of the ground or of any equipment in the protected area.

Tests have shown that misting diluted BioMagic products is not harmful to people working in the protected area. The EPA does not regulate the use of BioMagic’s products.

1...Human and animal waste is composed of bacteria cultivated in the digestive system and the material that is not used in the digestive system. It is commonly accepted that human and animal waste is about 50% bacteria by weight and 50% waste. Bacteria that are indigenous to the digestive system are the bacteria that reduce the waste back to plant nutrients.

2...Enzymes is natures system for breaking down compounds into elements that bacteria can utilise as nutrients and oxygen and allow them to perform the task of recycling waste. Anaerobic bacteria must produce enzymes to function. Adding an enzyme to a biomass reduces the work bacteria must perform to digest waste. Enzymes allow the bacteria to obtain oxygen from existing compounds but the quantity of oxygen available via the enzyme reaction is limited to the quantity and type of compounds available in the biomass.

3...Enzymes do work, but the addition of oxygen to the biomass by aeration or with BioMagic products is many, many times more effective in producing and maintaining the aerobic state. Oxygen available via an enzyme is limited and eventually no amount of enzymes will make any difference.

4...Using cultured bacteria and/or enzymes is generally not cost effective for achieving either accelerated digestion of waste or odour control.

Nature has taken billions of years perfecting the cycle for controlling waste. Applying the principals of nature to control the massive volume of waste produced by humans and animals by using BioMagic products is, (until we get a lot smarter), the best available.
