Wastewater Treatment
EM America provides clients with specifically targeted applications of EM Technology® that are able to dramatically reduce odors caused by putrefied wastes. The picture on the right shows the walls of a lift station that once were black and now look like new cement. This dramatic change was achieved simply through the application of EM-1® Waste Treatment. This effect happens throughout the entire collection system when EM Technology® is properly applied in the collection system. Timing, flow rates, system design, and management are all considered in developing an application program for a wastewater treatment plant and collection system (sewer)....
READMORECommercial Composting
Using EM Technology® (EM-1® Waste Treatment) can help reduce composting turning costs by as much as 80% and prevent anaerobic, odor-causing decay. The key to efficient composting is to have healthy decomposition constantly occurring throughout the pile. In all conditions, including low oxygen and anaerobic environments, EM-1® Waste Treatment facilitates healthy decomposition and increased production of stable organic matter particles (humus). Feed stocks treated with EM-1® Waste Treatment quickly develop structure and a more fluffy texture allowing oxygen to penetrate into the pile. Anaerobic pockets become aerated and the overall quality of the product is improved while reducing management...
READMORELandfill and Solid Waste Management
EM Technology® has been used around the world in the treatment of solid waste landfills. The motto of "acting locally" can be taken quite literally if we were all to incorporate the use of Effective Microorganisms™ at home by treating all of our food and green wastes "locally". Solid wastes are inevitable in today's society. How we manage the wastes is really the problem, not having them. Throwing items that have some usable value is not management, but waste. Incineration of wastes leads to other problems with air pollution and also relies heavily on fuels to produce high heat...
READMOREInoculating Compost
Inoculating Compost The following application recommendation are guidelines to producing high quality compost with less intensive management. Contact EM America for customer EM-1® Waste Treatment composting programs that will meet your goals. Procedures: Apply EM-1® Waste Treatment as soon as the material is consolidated (or windrowed) and preferably before the material has become thermophillic (temperatures above 120 degrees F). These recommended rates of EM-1® Waste Treatment application are guidelines and may need to be adjusted for site-specific conditions and unique feedstocks. Activated EM-1® Waste Treatment should be used for all applications due to cost savings. Consult with EM America...
READMOREBioremediation
Bioremediation is the process of biologically breaking down some type of contaminant, usually with some type of synthetic chemical, through the use of beneficial microorganisms. Depending on what has actually contaminated the area, a specific formula will be designed and inoculations will begin. Some methods involve complete removal of contaminated soil and incinerating it at very high temperatures to cook off the contaminant(s). Another method of remediating soils is to use plants known to uptake specific nutrients or metals from soils. This method is known as phyto-remediation. Once the plant has removed the contaminant from the soil it is...
READMORESeed Treatment
Sprouts are one of nature's most nutritious foods, full of energy and nutrition. All of the energy and the blueprint of a mature plant are contained in its seed, along with all the potential of its future being as well as the ancestry of its lineage. Sprouting seeds is one of the easiest and quickest ways to create live foods for use in a raw food, vegan diet. Better Sprouting with Effective Microorganisms While sprouts are not very difficult to grow, there are certain issues to be dealt with to insure that they are produced successfully, with due consideration for...
