BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES,PROTECTING MAN AND ENVIRONMENT Brussels SME offering tailor-made formulations of micro-organisms for bio-treatment and bio-remediation (“Bioaugmentation”) Abstract The SME produces and supplies highly concentrated and stabilised specific microorganisms for environmental biological technology.Its bio-treatment solutions have been successfully tested in domestic waste water, industrial waste water treatment plants, ponds and contaminated soil treatment. It seeks technical cooperation with formulators of biological activators, industries with water and soil treatment issues, operators of sewage treatment, service company providing biotreatment solutions. Description Historically, the SME is linked to a Biotechnology Unit with strong know-how in fermentation, formulation, encapsulation, and drying of microorganisms. As part of their R&D activity, they have developed an innovative encapsulation process for active biological substances. Since 2002, the spin-off produces and markets microorganisms preparations using non-pathogenic bacteria (Bacillus spores, Pseudomonas...) that are specific to environmental technology. Its services include: - Supplying its own mix of microorganisms - Selection of microorganisms and development of customized formulations - Development of innovative formulations (entrapped microorganisms...) - Technical support for formulation development Technology Offer (12 BE 0213 3OF4) Colony Forming Unit) - For dry formulation: 1.1011 CFU/g - For encapsulated formulation 1.1011 CFU/g All these products have been already tested with success for the following uses: septic tanks, waste water treatment, ponds and soil. Innovations and advantages of the offer Using micro-organisms is a natural and environmental -friendly way of treating waste water and soils More specifically, the formulations with Bacillus spores offered by IMBP have many advantages : - Spores are very concentrated (up to 1.1011 CFU/g) reducing the volume to be transported - Compared to traditional products, they have a long period of storage: more than 5 years storage without loss of viability and with rapid revitalisation - According to their specific bioactivity, they can accelerate the biodegradation rates - They can be customized according to the specific industrial requirements for treating the pollution in the best possible way Moreover, the advantage of encapsulation is the delaying effect of bacterial action. Thanks to encapsulation, bacteria are gradually released, which is particularly recommended for devices that need continuous maintenance. Current and Potential Domain of Application Biotreatment and bioremediation with application in several domains: domestic and industrial wastewater treatment, soil remediation The company is offering three types of preparations two solid (powdered or encapsulated) and a liquid one. The offered bacterial concentrations have been certified as follows: - For liquid formulation: 2.1010 CFU/ml (CFU = 1 BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES,PROTECTING MAN AND ENVIRONMENT Brussels SME offering tailor-made formulations of micro-organisms for bio-treatment and bio-remediation (“Bioaugmentation”) Technology Offer (12 BE 0213 3OF4) Valid until: 22/02/2013 For further information (including IPR status) please contact: Le Borgne Camille Phone: +32 2 422 00 21 Fax: +32 2 422 00 43 Email: [email protected] 2
