Biotechnology Has Many Advantages over Conventional Burn or Bury Alternatives
CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Robert Brehm, CEO of U.S. Microbics, Inc. (OTCBB:BUGS - News; BCN:615212), an innovative environmental products and services company, today announced it is seeking additional national and international licensees of its Bio-GAC(TM) and BAC(TM) bio-recycling technology for spent activated carbon filtration media granted under U.S. Patent Number 6,905,603.
The invention relates generally to treatment of granular activated charcoal (GAC) filtration systems and more particularly it concerns use of micro-organisms for removal of contaminating hydrocarbons including BTEX, MTBE, chlorinated solvents, and volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds from such systems. An important advantage of this patented method and its associated system over traditional GAC treatment of water is that the system is very effective resulting in typical cost saving of up to fifty percent and elimination of the need for thermal desorption facilities to recycle GAC or landfill expenses for disposal of GAC.
Bob Brehm, CEO, stated, "We seek to license companies whose core business is the distribution and servicing of carbon filtration media systems for both vapor and liquid phase treatment. Today, forces of change within the carbon filtration media business are recognizing the need for biological solutions for the bio-recycling of spent product versus conventional thermal treatment or landfill disposal and our patented process is an ideal environmentally friendly alternative. Interested parties should contact me directly."
