Bionetix^® International is pleased to release a new brochure for the portable sanitation industry! This collection of portable sanitation products stands out from traditional treatments by putting the power of nature to work to clean, deodorize, and biodegrade. It is an excellent resource for any provider of portable sanitation services looking for practical, effective solutions to improve maintenance.

Beneficial Microorganisms at Work

Bionetix^® biologicals are a perfect match for portable sanitation because they contain beneficial microorganisms that digest organic wastes such as human waste, greases, oils, undissolved soap residues, paper, and other odor-causing substances. Paired with pleasant fragrances, they not only mask odors but reduce the compounds that cause them. Better yet, Bionetix^® biologicals can be adapted for use as portable toilet surface cleaners, odor neutralizers, urinal treatments, and more!

Biocide-Free Portable Toilet Deodorizers

Probiotic portable toilet treatments like those in the new Bionetix^® brochure are a welcome alternative to harsh treatments of the past containing formaldehyde or other biocides. Bionetix^® portable toilet treatments rely on beneficial microorganisms to digest organic waste and continue working long after application in the retention tank. They leave behind a pleasant fragrance of bubblegum, orange, cherry, or Tutti Frutti, depending on the customer’s preference. Formerly called by the PORTA-TREAT^™ name, these portable toilet probiotics have been rebranded under the BIO-BOOM^™ brand, reflecting the powerful biological boost they offer to holding tanks. They are available in both powder-filled-pouch (P) and liquid (L) form for use in bronze, silver, and gold applications for low to high traffic.

Portable Toilet Maintenance

The new Bionetix^® brochure also contains biological treatments for general maintenance inside portable restrooms. ECO-CLEAN-ALL^™ Super Concentrate is a biological surface cleaner that incorporates probiotics for extra cleaning and odor removal power. ECO-SCENT^™ L Super Concentrate contains microorganisms that directly target odors and neutralize them. It can be sprayed into the air around and directly onto odorous surfaces or added to mop water for floors. Finally, URINAL BLOCKS^™ enhance the standard of urinal treatment with a unique formula that helps clean away scaling problems, cure odors, prevent blockages, and digest organic waste in urinals.

Grease Trap and Septic Tank Treatments

Since many portable sanitation companies also offer grease trap and septic tank pumping services, the brochure includes specialty treatments these servicing companies can offer to their customers. ECO-TRAP^™ grease trap treatments contain specialty additives to reduce oil and fat accumulation and speed up their biodegradation, thus preventing emergency blockages and reducing BOD and bad odors. ECO-TRAP^™ products can be applied directly to grease traps or added through kitchen sinks and floor drains. Similarly, septic tank treatments such as ECO-SEPT^™ P or FIZZY-TAB^™ contain diverse microbiology designed to activate digestion of solid waste, reduce sludge buildup and pumping frequency, improve pipe purification and drain seeping, and prevent pipe and drain blockage.

Improve the Portable Sanitation Experience

While many of us do not enjoy portable sanitation facilities, we are glad they are there when we need them. With this new portable sanitation brochure, Bionetix^® bids to make that experience more pleasant overall—both for those that use and for those that maintain portable restrooms and grease traps / septic tanks. Explore the new brochure to get started!

Soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons is a widespread health and environmental concern. Cleanup methods can be complicated, expensive, and sometimes harmful to the environment. Bionetix^® International offers a friendlier path via bioremediation with its new BCP35S™ Premium, an upgraded version of BCP35S™ that enhances cleanup and specifically targets PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons).

The Widespread Problem of Soil Contamination

Since petroleum hydrocarbons play such a major role in today’s economy, it is not surprising to encounter widespread soil contamination. Pipeline oil spills, leaky gas station tanks, and various industrial activities make hydrocarbon pollution common. Often, landowners are faced with the need to clean up contamination that took place years ago. New construction sites may need soil rehabilitation where gas stations once stood. Even landfills may need to be reclaimed from contaminated soil disposal. Remediation is important both for the restoration of the ecosystem and to minimize corporate pollution liability.

Bioremediation in Action

BCP35S™ opens the door to the exciting benefits of bioremediation. BCP35S™ contains highly specialized microorganisms that degrade a wide range of petroleum hydrocarbons (gasoline, diesel, crude oil, and other petroleum products), thus reducing their environmental impact. It is suitable for many different soils and varying levels of contamination. For even better targeted bioremediation of soil contaminated with PAH, Bionetix^® has designed BCP35S™ Premium, which includes fungi and a higher percentage of special bacteria for enhanced performance. It was designed for a company performing ex situ bioremediation on soils that showed higher PAH compared to previous specimens. Laboratory testing with BCP35S™ Premium caused the PAH levels in the soil to drop significantly from 102.446 mg/kg to 17.264 mg/kg after 60 days. At the end of 90 days, this had dropped even lower to 0.212 mg/kg.

Benefits of Bioremediation

Use of BCP35S™ Premium can potentially reduce costs of contaminated soil cleanup and disposal by eliminating the need for excavation and extreme cleanup measures. Rather than excavating the contaminated ground, sending it to a landfill, and replacing it with new dirt, soil cleanup services can perform bioremediation onsite, eliminating unnecessary costs for new soil and hauling services. Bioremediation is among the most environmentally attractive options because it cleans the soil for further use instead of throwing it away, solidifying it into a block, or incinerating it. It does not require special equipment as for vapor extraction. The process can be performed in situ or ex situ, allowing greater flexibility for the landowner and remediation service.

Get Started on Enhanced Soil Remediation

Hydrocarbon pollution is widespread, demanding viable solutions for owners of contaminated land. Bioremediation with BCP35S™ Premium offers enhanced contaminant degradation, promoting soil health and ecosystem restoration. It also offers cost benefits and minimizes pollution liability for those who are stuck with the job of cleanup. Contact Bionetix^® to learn more about getting started with enhanced bioremediation on contaminated soil.

Bad odors know no language barrier. That is one reason Bionetix^® International is pleased to offer updated product data sheets for HYGIEA2200^™ in both English and Spanish! This liquid odor control is a powerful biological-blend specifically formulated for large volume accounts. It is an effective and economical path to odor control for hundreds of millions of potential users in the English- and Spanish-speaking market!

Neutralize and Eliminate Odors

HYGIEA2200^™ liquid odor control is a pre-stabilized multiple spore blend that not only masks but also neutralizes and eliminates odor-causing compounds. It does so through a synergistic combination of odor-neutralizing agents, surfactants, bio-strains, nutrients, and stimulants. One of its first actions is to attack and neutralize bad odors. As time goes on, beneficial microorganisms ensure excellent breakdown of starches, carbohydrates, protein, FOG (fats, oils, and greases) and other organic waste so the compounds creating the odors are also destroyed. HYGIEA2200^™ leaves behind a fresh mint or custom fragrance; it can also be ordered fragrance-free if odor reduction is the sole purpose.

High Volume Odor Control

HYGIEA2200^™ comes in 10X and 20X concentrations, which means a little goes a long way when mixed and diluted in DI water. This is ideal for cleaning supply formulators, who may add it to their own products for an odor-neutralizing boost or dilute it and distribute it as a ready-to-use odor control product for consumer retail. Cleaning services or industries with large scale odor problems may also stock it for their own direct use. Possible uses for HYGIEA2200^™ are many!

• Garbage Containers
A natural target for HYGIEA2200^™ is odor control in garbage pails, dumpsters, garbage trucks, and landfills. With constant holding or hauling of waste materials, these containers are rife with bad smells that create an unpleasant atmosphere for workers, neighbors, or customers who frequent the area. This can present an especially negative image where shopping centers or restaurants are concerned. Use of HYGIEA2200^™ can help improve that image.

• Wastewater Treatment
Unsurprisingly, waste treatment facilities also generate unpleasant odors that sometimes get bad enough to prompt complaints from nearby residents. HYGIEA2200^™ can help reduce these odors and promote good public relations by neutralizing odorous chemicals and facilitating the digestion of the organic wastes that cause them.

• Institutional Cleaning Services
Restrooms, laundry facilities, and fitness centers are other areas at risk for bad odors. Custodial service companies can use HYGIEA2200^™ to help mitigate the odor problems so patrons have a more pleasant experience. Even carpet cleaners may want to stock HYGIEA2200^™ for odor control at the institutions they serve.

Odors are everywhere, but many who suffer from them may not be aware that neutralizing and eliminating—not just masking—them is possible on a large scale with formulations such as HYGIEA2200^™. Bionetix^® hopes to make that solution readily accessible to English- and Spanish speaking customers through its updated data sheets in both languages. Contact Bionetix^® to learn more about biological odor control and its availability in various countries.

Excess toilet paper, clogged pipes, overflowing toilets, and bad smells are all too common encounters for those who clean and maintain restrooms. Bionetix_® International is working to change that by introducing a revolutionary bio-enzymatic “paper-eating” solution called PAPERATOR^™!

The new PAPERATOR^™ contains specialized probiotics and enzymes that efficiently break down cellulose-based materials frequently found in toilet paper, seat covers, and paper towels. This action significantly reduces the risk of paper clogging pipes and sewer systems and leading to expensive plumbing interventions. It also speeds up the overall organic waste digestion process, cutting down on bad odors in the meantime. Better yet, by harnessing the technology of nature, PAPERATOR™ presents a sustainable solution that does not harm plumbing or septic systems. 

PAPERATOR^™ is especially suited to use at events and facilities that serve a high density of people. Hotels and resorts, restaurants and cafes, office buildings, event centers, and other locations with public restroom facilities can all benefit from the paper-digesting action of PAPERATOR^™ to counteract paper overload from heavy use or improper paper product disposal etiquette.* Application is as simple as dissolving a water-soluble pouch of PAPERATOR^™ in water and flushing the solution down the toilet once a month.

To show how quickly and effectively PAPERATOR^™ works, one Bionetix^® distributor filled two jars with water and placed four sheets of pink toilet paper in each. PAPERATOR^™ was also added to one of the jars, and the next morning, the water in the treated jar was much clearer with significantly less paper residue. Bionetix^® also tested PAPERATOR^™ on bathroom tissue, a toilet seat cover, a paper kitchen towel, and pieces of cardboard. After only two hours, the toilet paper and toilet seat cover were almost completely disintegrated. The paper towel had also begun to disintegrate around the edges. After 18 hours, the cardboard sample had started to show digestion and was already separated into smaller parts. Results were expected to continue improving with time. Similar benefits await cleaning professionals and facility owners interested in taking advantage of PAPERATOR^™ in their own restrooms and septic systems. Say goodbye to constant toilet paper clogging by contacting Bionetix^® to try PAPERATOR^™, one of the most cost-effective “paper-eating” products on the market today!
