In 1992, Neozyme International Inc. was formed to realize the vision of a new model of biochemistry which would be totally safe and non-toxic to all environments and life, while simultaneously providing a superior cleaning solution.  The underlying biochemistry would be based upon the unique and broad spectrum bio-organic catalyst formulation which could provide superior cleaning and remediation of organic contaminates, including petroleum hydrocarbons, while also contributing significant improvements to the biological processes used in wastewater treatment and water purification.  The small research and development company, who had been working on various aspects of this new biochemistry was acquired, and Neozyme began commencement of a very intensive research and development effort to optimize the manufacturing procedures and performance characteristics of the existing technology base.  Several well-known research scientists were utilized to further the understand and improve the earlier formulations.  Engineering firms, along with municipal and industrial clients, provided actual conditions where the new biochemistry was rigorously tested under extensive field studies. 

During this time, the principals of Neozyme International Inc., along with other private individuals and International Daleco Corporation, a publicly traded technology venture company, invested more than $9 million into the development of this platform technology base, field testing and technical studies to prove the efficacy of the technology in large scale applications; along with preliminary market development, patent filings, and administrative expenses.  New composition patents were issued in 1998 and 1999 covering key applications of the biochemistry.

Bio-Organic Catalyst, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Neozyme International, Inc. and was formed in 2004 to provide a marketing and proprietary branding platform for all future market development activities for the Company’s patented bio-organic catalyst compositions (BOCs).  A new strategic plan was created to position Bio-Organic Catalyst, Inc. as the industry’s first truly effective “green”, or totally ecologically safe chemistry, for use in a wide variety of water and wastewater purification and treatment applications, along with establishing an entirely advanced new model of performance in petroleum hydrocarbon remediation and industrial cleaning use.

Milestones Achieved To Date:

  • Substantial improvements in effectiveness and reliability of the original formulations,
  • A better understanding of the potential performance levels within different applications and the dosage levels required for optimum economic values,
  • Extension in the shelf life and stability of the various product formulations to over two years,
  • Domestic and international patents awarded for key claims of the formulas and applications,
  • Verification and accreditation through independent technical studies in the US and overseas,
  • Establishment of growing client base of industry leaders in specific market sectors,
  • Development of trademarked branding and corporate identity that establishes unique status within the chemical marketplace.

Test Results in a Wide Variety of Applications:

Camp Casey and Camp Stanley U.S. Army Bases, Korea, 2001: ECO Solutions Co., Ltd. was assigned to test Bio-Organic Catalyst's EcoSystem Plus for treating wastewater. Pretest conditions required BOD reduction to meet SOFA standards. Tests confirmed that ESP could improve wastewater treatment efficiency without requiring construction of new treatment plants. Specifications have now been established, and the first order was received February 2004.

Beale Air Force Base, CA: Metcalf & Eddy was tasked with underground storage tank removals and remediation of soil at the air base. Field studies showed Bio-Organic Catalyst's NONTOX reduced soluble petroleum hydrocarbon contamination by 90%, as compared to 27% with traditional land farming soil amendments, and on a faster basis. The test results bettered other treatments including fertilizer, compost, enzymes, and microbial enoculants.

Lift station and forced main sewer pipe: Using Bio-Organic Catalyst's EcoSystem Plus, odors were eliminated. At the end of week three, 70% of the slime layer was gone, and the previously dark brown slime was now a light brown color. At the end of week five, the slime layer had been reduced by 90%. Dissolved oxygen levels vastly increased from 0.25 PPM to 4.2 PPM.

Kikkoman Foods Soy Sauce, Midwest, 1994: Soybean fermentation wastewater contains high concentrations of protein and starch, causing strong odors and increased BOD / TSS. Bio-Organic Catalyst's EcoSystem Plus decreased BOD levels 48% and TSS 51%. Dissolved oxygen increased 5-fold, eliminating the need to add onsite plant equipment and treatment capacity.

Westerly Wastewater Treatment Plant, Rhode Island: Bio-Organic Catalyst's EcoSystem Plus treatment resulted in higher DO, 39% reduction of power, and 25% reduction in waste sludge volume.

Herten-Westerholt Wastewater Treatment Plant, Germany, 1998: Bio-Organic Catalyst's EcoSystem Plus converted organic solids to a form readily treatable by the aerobic activated sludge process, increased dissolved oxygen so 30% less aeration was required to degrade soluble wastewater components, reduced energy requirement by 40%, and reduced sludge by 40%.

Meat Processing (sausage) Wastewater Treatment Plant, Illinois, 1998: Bio-Organic Catalyst's EcoSystem Plus significantly reduced odor levels, achieved a 27% increase in dissolved oxygen, 75% reduction in clarifier raft growth rate and annual cost savings of $50,000+.

Worldwide Environmental Technologies, April 2000: Achieved 67% reduction in grease cap volume in 14 days for a beef slaughter / hide tanning plant with daily capacity of 3,000 head.
