Processing Magazine  New filtration method combines enzymes,
bacteria  December 11, 2012  REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Using enzymes
and bacteria as separate methods for water filtration is not new
to the industry but a combination of both is an innovation.
Filtration company ZymeTech provides such a solution, which is a
more efficient and eco-friendly filtration approach, according
to the company’s managing director Alan Badenhorst, cited by
Engineering News Online.  Badenhorst explained that conventional
methods of filtration produce an amount of residue that remains
inside the water container and needs to be disposed of, whereas
the combination of enzyme and bacteria ensures a reduced amount
of sludge. The by-product that remains after the filtration can
then be further cleaned and reused. Traditional ways of cleaning
the residue involve machines that pump it out and then transport
it to hazardous-materials landfills, which pollute the
environment.  According to ZymeTech operations director Ilan
