 Start dosing at pond 4 to restore the pond
 Recycle back from pond 4 to pond 2 to neutralise PH.
 Start dosing in the aerobic pond and add surface aerator to
speed up the biological process.

 Bacteria versus Enzyme
Bacteria are:
 Living – so they reproduce and
increase their numbers until they
don’t have enough food to keep
growing.
 Enzyme factories – producing the
full complement of enzymes to
completely metabolize most
substrates in their environment.
 Able to form “biofilms” – which help
them stay in a system or line instead
of washing out like enzymes.
Enzymes are:
 Biochemical catalysts – which
mediate a variety of biochemical
reactions.
 Proteins – many of them
produced by bacteria.
 Not living – and hence, do not
reproduce.
 Specific – only metabolize
certain substrates.
 Not consumed in reactions they
mediate – and hence, get
washed out.
Advantages of Using Microbe-Lift

 Minimal sludge build-up, almost no need for

mechanical maintenance
 More stable final effluent and lower BOD, COD, TSS,
FOG & TKN
 Short Kick-start time
 Less environment impact.
 EXTRA BENEFIT FROM USING MicrobeLift BIOREMEDIATION
SYSTEM

 ML/IND contains Photosynthesis Bacteria such as Rhodospeudomonas

palustris & Rhodspirilium rubrum
 This bacteria convert light energy to ATP, source of energy for plant
 ML/IND Contain beneficial bacteria
 This kills the fungi and pathogenic strain in soil by competing for
organic waste as food. Competetive exclusion
 ML/SA contains humate substances
 Create humus in soil, which enable to the soil to be more fertile
 Break down hard to degrade compounds, making
additional nutrients available to the plant.
 Modify nutrients in the soil to make them more available to the plant.
Microbe-Lift & Quantum Growth

 Both are developed by

Ecological Laboratories
Inc
 Both Contain
photosysntetic Microbes
Rhodopseudomonas
palustris, a very versatile
micro-organism
Application of soil-Microbes on
rubber plantation
Example of Application of QG in pine
seedling
Application of QG in golf turf.
 Why Microbe-Lift IND

 Non toxic and natural occurring non-pathogenic bacteria.

 Complete ecosystem of bacteria in one container (one stop
solution)
 Very high plate count to ensure that most of the bacteria are
still alive
 Most cost effective in comparison with chemical treatment or
using enzyme
 Extra benefit when comes to land application
