How does OSE II work?
OSE II is a revolutionary solution for hydrocarbon bioremediation, widely used in various industries due to its effectiveness, safety and speed. Its application goes far beyond the removal of surface contaminants, as it acts at a molecular level, restoring the environment in a sustainable way.
The technology behind OSE II is based on a set of biosurfactants, nutrients and enzymes that, when applied, go into action immediately. Here is a more in-depth breakdown of how this process works:
OSE II is an agent that promotes bioremediation, but does NOT introduce any type of bacteria into the contaminated environment.
Biosurfactants
Biosurfactants break down the oil at the molecular level, releasing hydrogen molecules and isolating the carbon particles. The carbon completely loses its ability to adhere within seconds, and toxicity decreases dramatically within the first 30 minutes after application. The carbon is ready to be used as food by local bacteria.
Nutrients
The nutrients formed promote an accelerated strengthening of local bacteria, creating conditions for bacterial multiplication and catalyzing the attack on carbon molecules.
Enzymes
Enzymes, in turn, form protein bonds and induce bacteria to use free carbon as a food source. The 156 different types of enzymes accelerate the metabolic decomposition process.
Biochemical process of OSE II
Biosurfactants work by decoding polar compounds present in oil and hydrocarbons, altering their polarity. This process breaks covalent and ionic bonds, allowing oil and water to mix.
During this process, enzymes and micronutrients bind to the micelles, forming a complex package of enzymatic nutrients.
The affinity of certain enzymes for different hydrocarbon chains allows these small packages of micronutrients—composed of the three basic storage blocks for bacterial growth (carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus)—to connect or attach to the micelles through specialized covalent and ionic bonds. These micelles are subsequently digested by bacteria, resulting in their conversion into CO₂ and water.
Why is OSE II different?
There are many products on the market that promise to clean up oil spills or similar contamination, but OSE II stands out for several reasons:
- Rapid Action: Oil decomposition begins within minutes of application, with significant reduction in toxicity occurring in less than an hour. This is crucial in emergency situations, where speed of remediation can mean the difference between a controlled environmental disaster and a catastrophic impact.
- 100% Biodegradable: One of the biggest advantages of OSE 2 is that it is completely safe for the environment. Being non-toxic and biodegradable, OSE 2 leaves no harmful residues after its application, ensuring that the environment is restored to its natural state without side effects.
- Simplicity of Use:Another great advantage of OSE 2 is its ease of application. Unlike other methods that require complex equipment or the introduction of external bacteria, OSE 2 can be applied simply, whether on water, soil or other contaminated surfaces. This reduces operating time and cost, in addition to facilitating its implementation in hard-to-reach areas.
