Hydra Bio Accelerator is used for enhanced aerobic bioremediation.

This is a process in which organic

contaminants found in soil and/or groundwater are degraded by indigenous or inoculated microorganisms
transforming them to innocuous end products.

Enhanced bioremediation with the use of Bio Accelerator is achieved through the extended release of oxygen into
the sub-surface to supplement the rate limiting oxygen requirement by aerobic micro-organisms.

The most common pollutants that can be treated include:
BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes).
MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether).
TPH (total petroleum hydrocarbons) from light and heavy fuel oils.
Non-halogenated volatile solvents such as methylethylketone, methanol,
ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, tert-butyl alcohol (TBA), etc.
Phenols such as phenol and cresols.
PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) such as naphthalene and
methylnaphthalenes.
Some halogenated compounds such as vinyl chloride (VC), chloroben-
zenes, pentachlorophenol (PCP), etc.
High explosives.
Heavy metals can also be oxidized using Hydra Bio Accelerator

All these advantages result in a very slow oxygen profile for Hydra Bio-Accelerator which translates into enhanced
bioremediation.

Many factors affect successful bioremediation using Hydra Bio Accelerator. These include:

Concentration
Hydra Bio Accelerator has a very high active oxygen, typically 17.3% or higher.

Formulation
Hydra Bio Accelerator has a proven extended oxygen release profile. In remediation the duration of oxygen release
depends upon many factors including soil type, its pH and buffering capacity, kind of contaminants and their
concentration, the presence of other organics or metals in the soil, etc.

Stability
The stability of calcium peroxide is also a factor of its formulation. A stable product does not release its oxygen
immediately in contact with water. This would result in premature loss of oxygen before injection, which leads to
excessive foaming. Hydra Bio Accelerator is a very stable product with very little foaming propensity when mixed
with water.

Purity
Hydra Bio Accelerator complies with the Food Chemicals Codex for food use. Its high degree of purity further
reduces its rate of decomposition, and avoids contamination of the environment.

Solubility
Hydra Bio Accelerator has a very low solubility in water which allows the product to continue to release its active
oxygen content for many months.

Particle size
A small particle size is most suitable for producing a homogeneous slurry. It is also essential when the product is to
be injected in the soil allowing for greater horizontal penetration in the soil without clogging the pores. The low
particle size distribution of Hydra Bio Accelerator enables efficient injection into the soil.

Other Applications

In agriculture it is used:
As fertilizing rich with oxygen.
For stimulating seed growth and their germinating power.
For pre-sowing treatment of rice seed, which allows to do planting not by seedlings, but by dry seeds. such a
technique sufficiently decreases work expenditure and increases crop capacity.

In cattle-breeding it is used:
For prophylaxis of casein-stone formation in the abomasums and diarrhea with newborn calves.
As an anti-microbic effect.
For stimulating protective organism strength
For normalizing activity of the alimentary canal
For activating digestion work.
For great increasing live-stock safety.

In poultry-raising it is used:
To decontamination of fodder
To increase productivity.
Hens safety and improving their eggs

In bakery industry it is used:
To improve bread crumb and its porosity.
To keep moisture in dough during its baking.
To initiate yeast growth.

In aquaculture it is used:
Provide sufficient dissolved oxygen.
To adjust pH value
To reduce the sub aqueous content of ammonium and nitrogen
To eliminate carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphate.
To prevent and/anaerobe from proliferation and killing nosogenetic bacteria, defecating aqueous body of water.

In precious metal production it is used:
For leaching precious metals in the formation of cyano complexes (particularly complexes with gold or silver)
from ores, ore concentrates, and other particle-shaped, solid materials.

In waste water treatment:
Stops bad odour in sludge / municipal drains / industrial waste water caused by toxic and inflammable hydrogen
sulphide.
Improves dissolved oxygen in water by continuous and slow release of oxygen.
Destroys organic compounds and reduces COD and BOD values in effluent waters.
Neutralises acids in waste water.
Precipitates heavy metals from industrial waste water.

Dosage Rates
Bio Remediation:
Once you know the total mass of contaminates, you can calculate the amount of oxygen required. As a rule of thumb
3 kilos of Hydra Accelerator are required per 1 kilo of hydrocarbon.

Dosage for Oxygen-lacking Pond - Depth per metre, Dosage rate kilo per 666m2:
1 metre depth @ 2-3 kilo, 1.5 metre depth @ 3-4 kilo; 2 metre depth @ 4-5 kilo;
2.5 metre depth @ 5-6 kilo; 3 metre depth @ 6-8 kilo.
