1. Significance of new products in your industry?

Bio-Organic Catalyst, Inc. has created and patented a novel and completely unique method of purifying and treating water, soils and other substrates that is totally safe for the environment. Bio-Organic Catalyst, Inc.’s bio-organic catalysts (BOCs) are an entirely new and unique line of products and, most importantly, a new product category of biochemistry. BOCs provide capabilities that integrate solubilization (physical), oxidation (chemical), and catalysis (biological) characteristics (S - O - C). BOCs are not enzymes, bacteria, or oxidants. BOCs are liquid organic catalysts, completely safe for human, animal, and marine life.

2. Competitive advantage of new products in your industry?

BOCs product formulations perform multiple positive functions, and are not only non-toxic, they are biologically enhancing. BOCs’ ability to increase dissolved oxygen and gas transfer rates, at the same or lower energy levels, and accelerate biodegrading, provides the solution to fundamental chronic maintenance and operational needs universal to all cleaning and wastewater treatment applications worldwide. BOCs improve worker safety and quality of life for communities, eliminating complaints about odors, transforming the conditions that create odors, and providing critical attributes for meeting the purification of our water resources.

In contrast, although chemical oxidation agents are widely used and may provide good utility; they are detrimental to biological processes and therefore unable to provide the complete life cycle optimization of BOCs in environmental waste management. Biological additives can provide more specialized benefits, such as when indigenous biological media may need seeding. However, as currently used, the effectiveness of biological additives can be limited, potentially harmful, and do not significantly impact the underlying environmental biological vitality. BOCs work from a "supply side" approach where both chemical and biological reactions are enhanced through the functionality of the integrated attributes of BOCs. Waste treatment and water purification are then harmonized, resulting in less overall chemical usage, optimization of wastewater treatment within existing facility infrastructure, and better discharge quality.

In every wastewater facility, industrial manufacturer, food processor and server, hotel/resort or hospitality location, office building, school, and hospital, harsh chemicals are used to solve the multiple challenges of water purification and elimination of pathogenic wastes. These are almost all based upon a chemical model which uses a powerful, but dangerous oxidative ‘punch’ to kill off potential disease carrying pathogenic contaminants. BOCs approach the problem from an entirely new direction, where organic contaminants are catalytically broken down to their fundamental elements. This allows BOCs to replace or augment traditional chemicals, by its safe and very effective cleaning agent, which presents no immediate danger to the user, and doesn’t produce dangerous byproducts that present ongoing risks to people and our environment.

3. Product innovation in terms of unique or revolutionary technology?

The integration of solubilization, oxidation and catalysis (S - O - C) provides for the first time a universally applicable biochemistry platform that addresses the need for a complement to existing chemical and biological processes, an ability to eliminate or substantially reduce toxicity in waste management, and strong economic values in reducing waste management treatment costs. The formulations work by creating a nearly instantaneous catalytic breakdown of organic molecules, making them more readily digestible by indigenous bio-organisms, as well as more rapidly oxidized by chemical agents. Rather than attempting to break down specific organic elements, as an enzyme would do, a broad cascading action is created, accelerating biological degradation throughout the entire spectrum of organics contaminants.

This breakthrough technology provides many benefits throughout all aspects of water treatment and cleaning applications. BOCs solubilize organic materials, increasing the nutrient availability for indigenous bacteria and reducing the volatile organics for odor control. BOCs improve aeration efficiencies, thereby enhancing biological activity. BOCs accelerate ionic interactions, helping inorganic oxidation reactions and making nutrients more available to bacteria. BOCs activate biomass and increase biodegradation, including petroleum hydrocarbons, within a shorter period of time, and at a lower cost.

BOCs are the only cleaners that also accelerate the biodegrading of residues being cleaned. The increased oxygen availability, higher dissolved oxygen levels, and enhancement in the solubility of cellular material, lead to significantly faster molecular interactions and creates an immediate catalyzing effect on contaminants. This unique ability of BOCs to rapidly break down organic contaminants leads to a whole new class of cleaning and remediation agents, where contaminants are not only removed, they are also degraded into their more fundamental components, and hence are more easily eliminated.

4. Product acceptance in the marketplace?

The acceptance of BOCs has been a challenge of identifying and exploiting points of entry as the cleaning and wastewater treatment industries are conservative and skeptical by nature, and where the engineering mindset is to build. Our integrated (S-O-C) approach effectively utilizes solubilization (physical), oxidation (chemical) and catalysis (biological) (S-O-C) is a new and disruptive technology, bringing transformative culture and mindset changes on the part of the marketplace participants.

Bio-Organic Catalyst, Inc. is partnering with long-time industry veterans to enter the market, including the recognized industry experts. Ours is a relationship-based business built on trust and comfort zones. Confidence and word of mouth referrals are growing as BOCs are successfully solving problems where current product options are unable to meet client requirements. Market acceptance is now accelerating as the broader market demands for practical and superior non-toxic chemical alternatives are coinciding with greater demands upon wastewater discharges to meet higher levels of regulatory compliance.

• they are a synergistic and integrated solution,
• they are concentrated, are potent and convenient, and work heavily diluted in water,
• they are dose responsive, i.e.; increasing the dose increases the effect.

In practice, equipment manufacturers can complement their system performance with a biochemistry that enhances biological processing, thereby extending the utility of existing equipment and facilities, linking formally isolated components in a total life cycle improvement of waste treatment. Chemical suppliers can complement their current product offerings with a synergistic additive to enhance their performance capabilities, such as biofilm degradation, and extend the benefits of their current product lines, develop new product/service lines, and lower downstream issues of toxicity waste byproducts. Petroleum hydrocarbon remediation, across many fields of economic activity, can be linked to a general cleaning/washing procedure that will reduce costs, and provide overall enhancement of total environmental quality control.

6. Number of competitors with similar products?

To date there are no competitors that deliver all three S- O- C values in one solution. No other chemical or biological agents available today have the broad range of benefits and safety features of BOCs. Traditional chemicals, such as oxidation agents and polymers, are used extensively in water treatment systems. However, they do not improve biological processing rates. Biological additives have yet to develop any meaningful role in wastewater treatment, due to their inherent limitations of time, temperature, and safety to existing biological processes. Ozone, enhanced oxidation systems, and high biological density media substrates (membranes) are being used more extensively, and all should benefit from BOCs.

There are new product offerings constantly being brought to market that are both non-toxic chemistries, and/or biological enhancement agents due to the marketplace’s demand for solutions that work in more environmentally friendly ways. However, it does not appear that anyone has combined the synergistic and integrated characteristics of BOCs to date.

We welcome other firms joining us in valuing and honoring the relationships that underlie all ecological systems. Bio-Organic Catalyst, Inc. has trademarked a "Seal of Safety" program identifying our commitment to higher community values of environmental stewardship. We want to share our “Seal of Safety”, enabling users of Bio-Organic Catalyst’s cleaning product line to identify themselves as making a commitment to their customers to be using "non-toxic and safe" cleaning products that are harmless to "human, animal and marine life". Let our work bring a better life to all life.
