What is UltraZyme?
UltraZyme is a blend of environmentally-friendly and naturally occurring cultures designed to remediate organic wastes and provide simultaneous odour control. UltraZyme is available in different powder forms to combat various water treatment needs.
How does UltraZyme work?
UltraZyme operates in 2 distinct and interrelated modes: 1) Inherent Detergency – this is associated with such phenomena as wetting, surface tension reduction and emulsification, all of which promote the dissolution of contaminants in the aqueous phase, and 2) Enzymatic Digestion – otherwise known as enzymolysis, being the decomposition or conversion of contaminants by one or more enzymes.
In the first step of the cleaning mechanism, UltraZyme displaces air from the liquid solid interface and thoroughly wets the soiled surface. This is followed by a number of spontaneous processes leading to emulsification of the contaminants. The enzyme molecules then react biocatalytically to digest complex oil, grease and natural fat bound substances present in this
emulsified form.
What is solubilisation?
Solubilisation refers to the process in which grease is digested and converted to fatty acids, glycerols, carbon dioxide and water. UltraZyme enables solubilisation and inherently prevents the rebinding of the grease recreating the problem further down the line.
How long does it take for UltraZyme to work?
A biological process takes time. While UltraZyme is highly effective, it does not achieve an overnight result. UltraZyme is not an instant answer but a lasting solution. Normally, within 30 days, the pipes will be cleaned and UltraZyme will form a biological coating which prevents further grease accumulation.
Odours are treated more quickly. Normally present bacteria produce odours while decomposing nutrients. Hydrogen sulphide is the most infamous. UltraZyme does not produce malodorous compounds. Rather, it uses them in its unique metabolic process – thus an advantageous synergistic relationship is formed.
How long does UltraZyme stay effective?UltraZyme is effective for 7 to 10 days.
UltraZyme is effective for 7 to 10 days.
UltraZyme is a formulation of preformed multiple enzymes that emulsify and digest grease and other organic containments that cause expensive pump outs and foul odours. With regular use of UltraZyme, grease trap and septic control will keep traps, drain lines, garbage disposals and septic systems free flowing and odourless.

Is UltraZyme compatible with municipal waste water treatment systems?
UltraZyme is compatible with all municipal waste treatment systems. It enhances beneficial micro organism activity and significantly aids in the reduction of suspended solids and biological oxygen demand (B.O.D).
How does UltraZyme control odour?
UltraZyme assists in controlling unpleasant odours through a natural biodegradable process at the instant it is applied. UltraZyme works to eliminate odour by changing the molecular structure of the host environment.
How does UltraZyme remove bottom solids and sludge?
UltraZyme’s bacteria/enzyme formulation is designed to digest nutrient sources throughout the water column, including the bottom. Our product includes two strains of non-hydrogen sulfide producing bacteria specifically targeted for bottom solid digestion.Bottom solids accumulate over time and become one of the primary contributors to total nutrient loading. As the organic matter at the pond bottom decomposes, it releases nitrogen and phosphorus into the water column. UZAC (UltraZyme Aquaculture) contains microorganisms specifically selected for their ability to degrade bottom solids made up of organic matter, simultaneously digesting released nutrients.
