GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION

Sea-Zyme	an earth friendly odor eliminator and solid waste digester for the marine and RV holding tank market. No M.S.D.S. form is required for this non-toxic, non-chemical product.
Sea-Zyme	is a blend of naturally occurring living bacteria and enzymes.
Sea-Zyme	contains no harmful chemicals such as phenol, formaldehyde, quats (quaternary ammonia compound), alcohol bases or chlorine bleach as in many disinfectants to rid holding tank systems of odors. These chemicals are poisonous to people and to the environment and do nothing to eliminate the waste disposal problems.
Sea-Zyme	addresses the problem of odor control and solid waste digestion in an entirely new way - BACTERIAL ACTION. After the ENZYMES do the job of breaking down the solids and paper (special toilet tissue is no longer needed) , the BACTERIA completely absorbs and digests the bits. Then they actually produce (give birth to) ENZYMES to continue to process. Thus, this continuous process turns the holding tank into a mini-sewage treatment plant. The effluent contains no solids and gives off no odors, thus eliminating the need for early dumping or for adding more product because of odor.

The odor is not simply covered, but is eliminated.

Bacteria and enzymes are as different as apples and oranges. A simple explanation of the two systems will make this clear.

Enzymes are composed of proteins that digest organic matter into smaller water soluble materials. There are a number of enzyme combinations that make up several of the pure enzyme products on the market today such as:

PRODUCT	USE
Lipase	Oil and fat digestion
Protease	Protein digestion
Cellulase	Paper digestion
Amylase	Starch digestion

A check with their M.S.D.S. or similar literature may tell you what mixtures are used or if it is just a single enzyme.

If a product which only contains enzymes is used in a maintenance program - the enzyme once dispersed goes to work on the offending matter as well as on itself. In other words, enzymes by their nature have a very short life expectancy and must be constantly re applied.

Sea-Zyme, on the other hand, is a blend of enzymes and a blend of living bacteria. The bacteria are naturally occurring soil bacteria which have selected and cloned for their ability to produce specific and/or various enzymes when this mixture applied to waste material, the enzymes begin the initial job of breaking down the offending matter. In the meantime, the bacteria come out of dormancy and begin to continuously produce enzymes which greatly facilitate the overall digestion process. The breakdown products resulting from the initial enzyme attack are utilized by the bacteria as food, resulting in further digestion of the organic matter, the end result being C02 and water. Since the bacteria multiply, the amount of enzymes they produce increases with time. When the food supply is depleted they go into dormancy simply self destruct.

Bacteria enzyme combinations tend to work until the job is done. Enzymes alone break down molecules only at a set rate which can be measured. If you add only a little enzyme, it will take a long time for digestion. If you add more, then the desired results will be faster. Bacteria enzyme combinations may be dealt with in a similar manner if one desires, but it is not necessary as the bacteria are multiplying and as such continually producing more enzymes again: until the job is done.

The dry powder blend is for use in the black and grey water holding tanks, also for use in large common dumping and holding area tanks. Consideration has been given to the chemical adulterants that are released into various waste systems, Chemicals such. as phenols, formaldehyde, "quats" (quaternary ammonium compounds', and & chlorine bleach tend to be used in many common disinfectants to rid the system of odors. Please keep in mind that these products are poisonous to people and the environment and do nothing to eliminate the waste disposal problem, in fact, the disposal problem is accelerated when all these chemicals are transferred into a collection tank. In many states, these holding tank fluids are not waste treatment acceptable and as such city sewage treatment plants are declining acceptance.

DIRECTIONS FOR SEPTIC TANK SYSTEMS

Pour one half cup of Sea-Zyme in about one quart of warm (not hot) water, let sit thirty minutes. Stir and flush contents (including solids) down the drain. Repeat this process every week for three weeks, then use one half cup per month.

Use a different drain for each application. Used properly, Sea-Zyme sets up a film, of bacteria and enzymes that prevents clogs from forming in the drain pipes.

Sea-Zyme can be poured directly into the toilet and flushed into the septic tank. However, this method, will not prevent clogging in the drain pipes.

Additional Information :

When the holding tank is emptied into a central collection tank or septic system, the bacteria will continue to digest matter in that system as well. Sea-Zyme has the ability to breakdown phenols, formaldehyde and alcohol based products.

Paper Product Digestion:

Sea-Zyme has blended into it a specific enzyme (cellulase) which increases paper digestion dramatically. With this system, the user may use any brand of toilet tissue they desire and not worry about paper clogging up the system. We have blended our product with paper products in mind.
