BioCOPE, Inc.

A liquid multi-enzyme product that contains no bacteria, degreasers, surfactants, or soap products. It is not hazardous to workers and can be handled without special protective equipment.

Does Biocope work?

A true enzyme product is a catalyst that promotes a reaction, but is not used up in the reaction. Catalytic enzymes require no outside energy to initiate the reaction.

Biocope hydrolyzes grease, reducing it to smaller molecules that are no longer grease and are unable to recoagulate. The organics resulting from treatment with Biocope are smaller, more soluble, and easier for bacteria to process to biomass, water, and carbon dioxide in more aerobic environments or to biomass, water, carbon dioxide, and methane in anaerobic environments.

Biocope has been the subject of several masters' theses at Texas Tech University. The studies include Biocope's reduction of volatile solids, and the comparison of the degree to which several wastewater treatment additives are able to degrade volatile fatty acids.

Where is Biocope used?

Grease traps

In prison grease traps pumping was decreased from once per month to once every six to eight months.

Lift stations

Used for grease and odor control that results in less maintenance and less corrosion.

Thins the slime layer, which reduces the amount of H2S produced. Odor and corrosion are reduced.

Reduces sludge, filamentous bacteria, algae, and decreases the amount of aeration needed.

In aerobic digesters, aeration can be reduced or stopped, and volatile solids can be reduced by 30% or more.

In anaerobic digesters, more methane is produced, volatile solids are reduced, and volatile fatty acids are degraded to acetic and propionic acids.

Reduce the need for sludge dredging and stabilizes nutrient levels.
