DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
General Background
The products and services of Alliance Bioremediation and Composting
Company (ABCC) address a wide variety of ecological uses for aquacultural,
agricultural, industrial, governmental, and general consumer markets.
ABCC plans to target the bioremediation programs and services involving
microbial products and methodologies for the biological breakdown and
clean-up of contamination from farming operations, petroleum, chemical
and organic waste sites.
Aquacultural Industry
ABCC has particularly researched and compiled microbial augmentation and
contamination clean-up technologies for the aquacultural industry. These
technologies have been designed for the elimination of various
aquacultural wastes. Fish and shellfish hatcheries and farms in the
seafood livestock industry have an extremely expansive future.
Controlling wastes and diseases with microbes and enzymes is the best way,
ecologically and economically, to farm fish in large quantities. The
aquacultural industry offers to our current product lines, and to our
future development of products, a huge and immediate sales market. This
fast-growing market with its rapid turnover will be the first focus of
our initial sales and marketing programs for these very evident and
compelling reasons.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
ABCC's business strategy is to make available and to market microbial and
enzymic products and programs designed to clean-up organic wastes and
water, and to reduce associated diseases spearheaded by the
aquacultural industry. These products are grown under special laboratory
conditions for maximum density and productivity. The labs adhere to and
meet USDA standards. These products address a wide variety of ecological
uses for aquacultural, agricultural and commercial industries. Numerous
contaminated sites are the subject of Federal and State legislation
mandating and funding their clean-up. Clean water quality is essential in
aquaculture and it is the most promising area for a rapid return on
investment. These products and processes can be used in all areas of
wastewater management.
The Company Technology
Through extensive research and experimentation, the Company has compiled
superior products and methodologies for the conversion of aquatic wastes
into clean environments for the raising of finfish and shellfish. This
technology includes the use of microbial augmentation, aeration and
biofilters in reducing the major organic waste build-ups and gases. At
the same time they reduce pollution, disease and associated health
hazards. These products and techniques can be applied to agricultural and
industrial wastes as well.
Sanitary water conditions must be maintained during the raising of
aquatic animals. Microbial products, in particular. can produce an
environment in which many diseases, such as Aeromonas are precluded.
This is a particularly devastating fish disease and highly contagious.
This disease causes ulcers which necrose right through the muscle, which
is why it is also known as "Hole-in-the-Side" disease. It can also cause
gill rot, fin rot or blood poisoning before killing the fish. It also
causes "pop-eye" and "pine cone" disease (dropsy) and internal
hemorrhaging. Poor water conditions and maintenance, overcrowding, rough
handling, and rapid temperature and pH changes will trigger the infection
in fish. The efficacy of our products in its treatment are currently
being extensively tested and documented in Malaysia after it had been
successfully used in other Asian countries. Vibrio strains (one of which
is cholera) and other pathogenic bacteria are also precluded.
All of our products, both enzymic and microbial, have shown consistent
beneficial effects for marine crustaceans and aquatic vertebrates.
Antibiotics, which are mostly synthetic or chemical, can create more
virulent strains of the pathogens they are meant to combat. Our
probiotic microbes proliferate to the point that they preclude the
pathogenic bacteria from the environment (called "competitive exclusion")
while they also metabolize and clean up the wastes.
These microbial and enzymic products are superior to commonly used
products on the market today. Current documentation and application has
indicated that these products are the best way to reduce or eliminate
organic wastes. Rather than using the current method of flushing wastes
into another environment through the use of massive amounts of excess
water, our products can do the same job more economically and effectively.
Water is not wasted nor are other aquatic environments polluted. This is
because the microbes will continue to multiply and to metabolize organic
wastes as long as the wastes are there as a food source.
The Biological and Ecological Approach to Clean Water
ABCC's biological and ecological approach to aquacultural waste material
remediation and wastewater management accomplish the following
objectives:
*Reduces foul and unpleasant waste material odors significantly.
*Produces optimum water quality.
*Produces high-quality organic biofilters.
*Increases wastewater use alternatives.
*Decreases water usage.
*Reduces pest infestation, fungus, and diseases in aquatic livestock.
*Reduces groundwater contamination.
*Reduces use of harmful chemicals and synthetics.
*Decreases costs of waste disposal.
*Reduces toxic elements, such as sulfides and ammonias, phosphates and
nitrites, into harmless elements.
*Turns problem areas into profit centers.
Microbial and Enzymic Product Sources
ABCC has a virtual unending supply of low-cost microbial and enzymic
products available from our laboratories, including the newest and
ongoing developments.We have spent years researching and testing product
lines in our selection process. We are confident that our sources are the
most prolific and innovative in the field.
Under normal conditions nature keeps the chemistry in aquacultural
ecosystems in balance. When changes in the balance occur by overstocking
the aquatic system to produce more product for the market, too many fish
create more waste than can be digested naturally. The system becomes
polluted and toxic to the fish. Fish mortality increases the organic
toxic wastes and pollution. Thus whole aquatic systems will die off if
the imbalance is not corrected.
Microbial and enzymic products are significantly beneficial in
rejuvenating aquatic systems fouled from overstocking and chemical
additives. Most fish farms try to remedy these problems by flushing with
large quantities of water from surrounding bodies of water and drawn from
wells that tap the aquifer. This further unbalances the ecosystem and
expands the pollution.
ABCC provides customized blends of microbes and enzymes to address the
major carrying capacity problems of fish farming or intensive
aquaculture: density, ammonia and suspended solids. Oxygen is an
associated problem which requires a combination of our product to reduce
fecal solids, and aeration equipment, reducing suspended solids without
flocculents, reduces inflammatory gill diseases.
Quality Control Testing of Microbial and Enzymic Products
A continuous analysis of ABCC's products is done at the laboratory and
will be verified through our own testing facilities during batching. Each
formulation will be identified, and the strength of our products defined,
to guarantee quality control and to facilitate proper dosages. As always,
our microbial and enzymic products will be continuously monitored and
tested.
U.S. Department of Agriculture Compliance
The Company's products requiring USDA approval have such approvals. There
are products not requiring USDA or EPA approval. Such clearance or
approval is not required because these products are simply concentrated
quantities, specially propagated and formulated, of only naturally-
occurring microbes and enzymes. None are genetically altered.
ABCC's Primary Microbial and Enzymic Products
ABCC's primary microbes and enzymes are produced by particular certified
laboratories to meet our higher density and quality standards. From these
we formulate blends for specific applications. The propagation of
microbes and the production of enzymes are proprietary secrets of the
laboratory and we jealously guard the identity of our sources. Microbes
and enzymes themselves are not patentable unless genetically altered-ours
are not. They are naturally-occurring.
The propagation of microbes and enzymes is not proprietary either.
However, the equipment, methods and processes, quantities, densities and
blending of the microbes and enzymes are proprietary. ABCC, in turn, has
these microbes and enzymes shipped to our bottling and packaging
warehouse, whereupon they are combined or blended for the particular
remediation project at hand. With this procedure of customization,
competitors cannot decipher the formulation of our blends. ABCC also has
a nutrient which we add to our blends as a food source which further
complicates the identification of the blending. Once the blends are
packaged, there is no way the customer can propagate the original high
concentrations of the microbes or enzymes. Achieving a long shelf life
involves proprietary and trade secrets.
ABCC's products have a shelf life of 8 months to a year at room
temperature. During this period the microbial count will slightly degrade
on a daily basis. If refrigerated, the microbes and enzymes will go
dormant and can be stored for up to 2 years. They cannot be stored below
38 degrees F, or they will die. ABCC has a number of basic product
blends which are used in aquacultural applications at this time. These
products are Vitanitrifyer, Vitazyme (liquid), Vitazyme (dry), Vitaclear,
Vitablue, Vitabrew probiotic twin packs - Vitashield and Vitabiotic,
Vitazyme Super, and Vitadegrader.
