Experience the Orb-3 difference. Whether you’ve been working with us for many years or you’re new to Orb-3 Products, know that our friendly team stands ready to fulfill our commitment to you:
Technology
Orb-3 technologies are based on the approach that eliminating the source of the problem is more efficient and economical than continually treating its symptoms. With the combined knowledge of natural processes with our technology and our customers’ experience in their specific field, the root cause of the problem is identified and then an eco-friendly solution is developed which removes the symptoms.
Rather than depending on a single product, protocol, or technology, we take a holistic approach and combine enzymes, bacteria, trace minerals, and aeration to create customized solutions. Whether you need a natural solution or a supplement to an existing treatment system, our products condition the environment to purge itself of targeted contaminants, thereby requiring fewer chemicals and less maintenance.
Many of our customers were pioneers, partnering with us to solve problems in their industry using natural solutions at a time when harmful chemicals were thought to be the only option. These customers became experts in natural technologies, providing leadership in their field by improving and sustaining water quality while simultaneously saving money and protecting the environment. Let us begin to put Nature's Technology to Work in Your World today.
Aeration
Aeration is fundamental to water treatment, ensuring a rich supply of oxygen to promote biological activity. It stimulates facultative and aerobic bacteria, minimizes excess nutrient and organic buildup, mixes the water body, and accelerates contaminant remediation. Great Lakes Bio Systems offers a wide variety of air diffusers through its sister company MixAir Technologies.
Enzymes
Orb-3 Enzyme Technology is derived from a proprietary fermentation process. This base raw material contains thousands of identifiable enzymes, coenzymes, amino acids and other proteins. Our goal through this procedure is to pull as many of these available proteins out of the process as possible because this makes our enzyme technology effective on a wider variety of effluent types and in numerous applications.
Whether used in grease traps, for cleaning floors, for natural algae control in lakes or in a waste stream, or even when it is used to improve sanitizer efficiency in a swimming pool or spa; what makes our products effective is their ability to work efficiently and successfully on a broad range of organic constituents. Furthermore, by carefully selecting and utilizing high quality non-bacterial raw materials, we derive a product that is immediately active in all of these applications and is proven to dramatically speed up the natural biodegradation process.
Virtually every one of our competitors derives their products from the fermentation of bacteria. In order to remain stable in a finished commercial product, these bacteria are manufactured in a spore form. No matter the application, if the environmental conditions are favorable, spores require a minimum of 2 to 4 hours to germinate or become active. With limited holding time in a grease trap, for example, the bacteria may be washed down the drain well before they can effectively work on the grease in the trap.
Bacteria-based products tend to be very “select” in nature, generally containing only five to seven strains of bacteria. As a result, bacteria become more limited in their function and are not nearly as efficient on the broader range of contaminants that may be present. This may cause an incomplete organic breakdown.
This is not the case with our enzyme technology because the proprietary fermentation process yields a broad spectrum of available enzymes that are ready to go to work immediately.
Orb-3 Enzyme Technology is active in a much wider pH range than other bacterial products. Whereas bacteria are most efficient in a range of 5 to 7, our products are active in a pH range of 3 to 12. In applications such as car wash, wastewater, pools, or grease traps pH ranges tend to vary but our products provide consistent long term results.
