>DESCRIPTION


>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.
