The pollution-management system invention

 

The subject of the base invention

 

The subject of the base invention is a pollution-management system whose common characteristic is the biodegradation1 of organic contaminations with enzyme2 systems produced by specially selected microorganisms.

In the course of biodegradation – with the presence of mobilized nitrogen, phosphor and potassium – the enzymes produced by the microorganisms transform the hydrocarbons into fatty acids which produce carbon dioxide and water. In the pollution management technology, enzymes extracted from living organisms are allocated directly to the contaminated fluid, so the degradation of the pollution is not done by the microorganisms living in the contaminated area but by the enzyme system. The application of the technology may report the following benefits:

 

• Fast reaction time of the enzyme-catalyzed processes;
• The enzyme systems in contrast to bacteria are not sensitive to toxic compounds;
• The enzyme systems are not sensitive to the demolished compound concentrations of hydrocarbons;
• Nutrient dosage is not necessary;
• Aquatic environment use;
• Turns dirt into ecologically recyclable natural materials;
• Non-poisoning, there is no irritant effect on the human body (skin, eyes, respiratory system);
• Using protective clothing is not required.

 

The common principle of the pollution-management system is the biochemical, enzymatic transformation of contaminations into environment-friendly products, occasionally suitable for further use. The enzyme preparation consists of enzymes produced by microorganisms and living, specially selected strains of bacteria. The preparation performs the disintegration of pollutions taking place in nature concentrated, as it was „self-catalyzed”. Its application eliminates the disadvantages of the traditional management systems, not only by protecting the environment, but also by benefitting the further biochemical processes of the contaminated area (ground, water).

 

 

1. Biodegradation – the controlled biological disintegration of hydrocarbon contaminations. The biodegradation grants therefore in some sort the decay, the disposal of toxic contaminations and the termination of the damaging effect, usually in the course of multiple-step  degrading processes.
2. Enzyme – catalyst of biochemical processes
