Description

Ultra-Archaea is a high-performance microbial product designed to break down hydrocarbons, oils, and grease in wastewater systems and sewer infrastructure.

Formulated with naturally occurring archaea microbes, it works at the source of contamination, converting hydrocarbons into harmless byproducts such as water and carbon dioxide. This reduces buildup, improves system performance, and supports compliance without relying on harsh chemicals.

Designed for water utilities and industrial operators, Ultra-Archaea integrates directly into existing systems, including sewer networks, lift stations, and wastewater treatment plants. It can be used for both ongoing maintenance and targeted remediation.

Features & Benefits

1. Targeted Hydrocarbon & Grease Breakdown

  • Breaks down oil, fuel, grease, and organic contaminants at source
  • Supports grease control across sewer and wastewater systems
  • Reduces buildup that leads to blockages and overflows

2. Improves System Reliability

  • Maintains flow efficiency in sewer networks and lift stations
  • Reduces accumulation in oil/water separators and treatment assets
  • Supports stable biological treatment conditions

3. Reduces Maintenance Burden

  • Less manual cleaning and pump-outs
  • Lower sludge handling and disposal requirements
  • Fewer reactive maintenance events

4. Compatible with Existing Treatment Processes

  • Safe for activated sludge and biological systems
  • Does not disrupt beneficial bacteria
  • Self-limiting once contaminants are removed

5. Helps Control Odours

  • Reduces odours caused by hydrocarbon and organic buildup
  • Improves working conditions in confined and high-load areas

6. Environmentally Responsible

  • Non-toxic, naturally occurring microbes
  • No harmful residues
  • Suitable for sensitive water environments

Applications

  • Sewer networks and pipelines
  • Lift stations and pump wells
  • Wastewater treatment plants
  • Oil/water separators
  • Stormwater systems
  • Grease traps and pre-treatment
  • Hydrocarbon spill response

 

When Not to Use

  • Immediate containment required (use absorbents first)
  • Non-organic chemical spills (acids, heavy metals)
  • Dry environments without moisture
  • Situations requiring instant visual removal

FAQs

What is Ultra-Archaea used for?

Ultra-Archaea is used to break down hydrocarbons, oils, and grease in wastewater systems, sewer networks, and environmental applications. It is commonly used by water utilities and industrial facilities to improve system performance and reduce contamination.

What is bioremediation?

Bioremediation is a natural process where microorganisms break down organic contaminants such as oil, fuel, and grease into harmless byproducts. Ultra-Archaea accelerates this process using specialised microbes.

What are Ultra-Archaea microbes?

Ultra-Archaea contains naturally occurring archaea microbes that are specifically effective at consuming hydrocarbons and organic contaminants in water and soil environments.

How does Ultra-Archaea work?

The microbes attach to hydrocarbons and use them as a food source, breaking them down into harmless byproducts such as water and carbon dioxide. This process helps eliminate contamination rather than just containing it.

What happens to the microbes after treatment?

Once the hydrocarbons or organic material are consumed, the microbes naturally decline and return to background environmental levels. They do not persist or accumulate in the system.

What are the final by-products?

The breakdown process produces harmless byproducts including water, carbon dioxide, and trace organic matter.

How quickly does Ultra-Archaea work?

Performance depends on conditions such as temperature, oxygen, and contamination levels. Initial activity can begin within hours, with full remediation typically occurring over days to weeks.

Is Ultra-Archaea safe to use?

Yes. Ultra-Archaea is non-toxic and safe for use in wastewater systems, including biological treatment processes such as activated sludge. It does not harm beneficial bacteria.

Are there any health risks during handling?

Ultra-Archaea is safe to handle when used as directed. Standard industrial hygiene practices should be followed, such as avoiding unnecessary inhalation of dust and washing hands after use.

Does it replace chemical treatments?

In many applications, Ultra-Archaea can reduce or replace chemical treatments by providing a natural, long-term solution to hydrocarbon contamination.

Does Ultra-Archaea replace absorbents?

No. Absorbents are used for immediate containment and removal, while Ultra-Archaea is used after containment to break down residual hydrocarbons.

Where can Ultra-Archaea be applied?

It can be applied in sewer systems, lift stations, wastewater treatment plants, grease traps, oil/water separators, and stormwater infrastructure.

How is Ultra-Archaea supplied?

Ultra-Archaea is available in multiple formats including granular shakers, water-soluble packets, tablets, floating booms, and bulk bags.

Does Ultra-Archaea have a shelf life?

Yes. When stored in a cool, dry environment and kept sealed, Ultra-Archaea maintains effectiveness for an extended period. Refer to product packaging for specific shelf-life details.

Are there special requirements for use?

For best results, Ultra-Archaea requires:

  • moisture
  • oxygen
  • contact with the contaminant

Performance may be reduced in dry or highly oxygen-depleted environments.

What else should I know before using it?

Results vary depending on contamination levels, system conditions, and application method. For optimal performance in large or complex systems, a tailored application approach is recommended.
