For this reason each Sannitree product has been specifically formulated to react with a specific substrate.

On average, the active ingredient in each product will have a Heterotrophic Plate Count per 1 gram at 25ºC (72h) of 5,5 billion. (Tested by CSIR Environmentek, 20 August 2004 Ref: WT101\2004ext\Sannitree.1 Telephone:27+21+8882581)

Each product is a different combination of some or all of the following ingredients:

1. Facultative Bacteria - Bacillus subtilis (to digest and utilize general waste materials, including protein, oil, fat &  starch)

2. Facultative Bacteria - Cellulomonas sp (to digest and utilize cellulose materials)

3. Anaerobic Bacteria - Nitrosomonas sp (to convert ammonia to nitrite)

4. Anaerobic Bacteria - Nitrobacter sp (to convert nitrite to nitrate)

5. Anaerobic Bacteria - Aerobacter sp (to digest and utilize some carbohydrates and for denitrification)

6. Protease Enzyme - (to decompose protein materials)

7. Amylase Enzyme - (to decompose starch materials)

8. Hemicellulase Enzyme - (to decompose hemicellulose material)

9. Lactase Enzyme - (to decompose lactose)

10. Lipase Enzyme - (to decompose oil and fats)

Decomposition cycle using Sannitree products

1. Ammonia is converted to Nitrates and Nitrites, leading to Atmospheric Nirogen.

2. Reduced gases like Carbon Monoxide and Hydrogen Sulphide, which is used up as an energy source to increase bacterial biomass.

3. What this really means to the industrial user is an increase in the decomposition rates and a reduction of gases, resulting in a more effective utilisation of capital resources and importantly, a healthier and cleaner environment.

At a molecular level what is really happening is that bacteria gain energy by speeding up and facilitating reactions that entail breaking down chemical bonds. When this happens electrons are transferred away from the waste contaminant. This loss of electrons from the contaminant is known as oxidation-reduction (Oxidation is losing electrons, Reduction is gaining) and is the cause of the waste being broken down.

Application Conditions

1. Acidity- Bacteria and enzymes work between in a ph range of 5 - 9,5.

2. Temperature - Applicable range of between 15 - 40 Deg C ( 59 - 104 Deg F).

3. Aerobic conditions - Power aeration is recommended.

Special Cautions

Disinfectants, acids or alkali's may harm the effect of bacteria and enzymes and should not be used in conjunction with our products.
