100% Natural and Fast-Acting Oil-Eating Microbes
Supercharging Mother Nature's Own Bioremediation Process
Ultra-Archaea are an archaea-based collection 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 cultivated with crude oil as the only food source. The result is 100% natural, hardy and fast-acting microbes that have an affinity for oil and other hydrocarbons, as well as organic waste.
How Does it Work?
Ultra-Archaea infuses as many as five billion natural microbes per gram into an oil spill, greasy catch basin, oil/water separator, etc. Within hours, these microbes will reproduce from billions per gram to trillions.
With water, oxygen, and an organic food source, Ultra-Archaea microbes will digest and remediate oil on land or on water, as well as in grease traps, septic tanks, storm drains, and almost any other area where contaminants are present.
Once digested, the hydrocarbon molecules are broken down into harmless byproducts of water, carbon dioxide, and lipids—a natural, soluble fatty material that is food for fish and plants.
After approximately ninety days or when the microbes have been deprived of water, oxygen, or a food source, the microbe colony will naturally die off, allowing the indigenous microbes to return to pre-contamination levels.
What Else Does Ultra-Archaea Treat?
Ultra-Archaea is excellent for reversing the adverse effects of not only oil spills, but also agriculture waste, algae, septic and leaching field sludge, and wastewater FOG (fats, oils, and grease). In fact, Ultra-Archaea has been used to remediate the soil and eliminate odors of sensitive environments such as wetlands after major hydrocarbon contamination incidents.
Ultra-Archaea has also been used on farms to consume manure and ammonia from urine, coliform bacteria, and fly larvae, thereby eliminating disease potential in livestock and other animals.
