Session Overview
The Session Overview below is provided as a courtesy to those who prefer to read than listen, yet on each call additional insights are given which round out the subject.
Prescription for a Natural Bioremediation of Chemicals and Petroleum Based Pollution
1) Pretreat (for concentrated chemicals and oil/grease only).
Pretreat the chemicals or oil with the Citrus Bio Prep Concentrate (to break down the petroleum bonds) and with Sacred Clay (to absorb the toxic chemicals). The purpose of this pretreatment is to provide the safest environment possible for the introduction of natural microbes to the waste material.
2) Dilute the Waste Solution (not required if the waste is already in a body of water).
Dilute the pretreated solution with filtered or untreated water 10 to 1. This means that if the toxic waste is 1 gallon, then add 10 gallons of filtered or natural water to the pretreated solution.
This step disperses the waste solution and adds valuable moisture essential for microbial life.
3) Introduce Microbes with Their Food Sources.
Add the Bio Build Microbial Starter formula (a powder) to the diluted waste solution and mix thoroughly.
This introduces a wide variety of microbial populations to the waste solution, along with their natural food sources, to stimulate a microbial population explosion.
This inoculation and development of microbial populations will consume the pretreated waste solution, generally within 7-30 days. The larger the quantity of microbes being introduced, the faster the digestion of the waste solution.
4) (Optional) Combine with Soil and/or Coconut Fibers/Fine Bark Mulch.
When not dealing with large bodies of water like a pond, lake, stream or ocean, the treated waste solution can be poured onto soil (or additional soil added to the container holding the treated waste solution).
This further disperses the treated solution while adding indigenous microbial populations native to the soil. (Some soil from an aged, well broken down compost pile will also augment this process well).
The addition of coconut fibers or fine bark mulch helps to absorb and hold moisture, providing a home for microbes to further colonize.
Converting Waste Treatment into A Compost Pile
At this point the materials suggested generally do not sour or smell during the decomposition period, however, if desired, the whole process can be turned into an actual compost pile by adding additional biomass (not recommended with standing water situations).
If the resulting waste mixture remains moist, but without standing water, then other vegetative compostable materials may also be added, such as leaves, alfalfa, straw, grass, kitchen scraps, etc.
This then turns the toxic waste, inoculated with Bio Build Microbial Starter, into a viable compost pile, rich with humic acids, microbial populations, fungi, and eventually worms, capable of breaking down the chemical and petroleum waste even faster.
This larger mass of compostable materials, if kept moist (but not soaked), and in the shade, will turn into mostly soil within about three months, due to the rapid pace of composting initiated by the Bio Build Microbial Starter.
It takes a bit longer to fully break down the whole pile (due to the extra biomass), yet it will provide you with an abundance of nutritious new soil for flower beds and lawns.
Many blessings of health and success,
