5 The Breakdown of Domestic & Industrial Waste of Animal & Vegetable Origin AVANTU P.O. Box 111, Sunninghill, 2157 Tel: (011) Fax: (011) PITKING PITKING is a blend of bacteria and free enzymes specially formulated to breakdown domestic and industrial waste of animal and vegetable origin.. APPLICATION OF PITKING PITKING has been applied in a variety of areas including pit latrines and septic tanks, all types of municipal sewerage works and in the treatment of waste from industries which produce an organic waste eg. Wine industry, fruit processing, meat processing. The application of PITKING in these areas are as follows: PITKING rapidly breaks down a solids build-up to a liquid form and finally clean water. The anaerobic bacteria in PITKING are very effective in biodegrading a submerged solids build-up such as in septic tanks, pit latrines, flooded biofilters etc. PITKING can be used to establish a biomass in a waste water treatment system or to enhance the biomass in an overloaded system. PITKING improves the biodegradation efficiency per unit volume of the treatment plant and hence reduces the BOD/COD and suspended solids levels of the effluent of the plant. The use of PITKING in pit latrines, especially in rural areas, reduces the incidence of water borne diseases and removes the malodorous smell usually associated with raw sewerage. Form Colour Contents Nutrients PRODUCT SPECIFICATION Powder Light Brown Freeze-dried Bacillus & Pseudomonas group of bacteria Enzymes Cereal base Nutrients Phosphates Sulphates PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PITKING contains a wide range of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria selected for their enhanced biodegradation capabilities. The product includes free enzymes: amylases, cellulases, proteases and lipases. MODE OF ACTION The bacteria in PITKING become metabolically active once added to water and begin secreting the extra cellular enzymes required for biodegradation. The free enzymes are included to initiate the breakdown process while the bacteria become acclimatised to their environment. The enzymes in PITKING include the following: - amylase which enhances the breakdown of carbohydrates to soluble glucose molecules. -glucanase which enhances the breakdown of glucose to CO 2 and water. lipase which catalyse the breakdown of fats and oils to alcohol, fatty acids and glycerol. protease which split protein molecules into smaller units (peptides), which will be broken down by peptidase to amino acids. The anaerobic bacteria break down organics in environments where there is little or no dissolved oxygen, hence ensuring a liquid state throughout the biological system. Continued application of PITKING will ensure a high quality effluent, maintain liquefaction of organic solid matter and rapidly reduce offensive odours TREATMENT PROGRAMME The dosing regimen of PITKING is dependent upon the nature of the waste, the volume and flow of the effluent and the concentration of pollutants in the waste water to be treated. The product is first applied as a shock dose to introduce a high biological activity and then a maintenance dosing programme is implemented to ensure a high biological activity at all times. The freeze dried bacteria must first be reactivated in clean water at between 25C and 30C. The product is most effective under the following conditions in the treatment system: Temperature: 5C to 40C ph: 5 to 9 Metals : none
