Cleveland Biotech Ltd. have a range of products packaged in water soluble sachets for use in commercial situations. These products can be supplied in a blister box containing 6 sachets, in a carton containing 30 sachets or in a tub containing 50 sachets. Each sachet contains approximately 30g of product.   

The product range includes:

a) Amnite C200 (BioGrow): This formulation contains selected naturally-occurring micro-organisms that speed up the rate of composting. The product helps to produce a rich organic compost.

b) Amnite F250 (BioPond): The micro-organisms in this formulation keep water clear and free of toxins. The product is used to establish and maintain good water quality in garden ponds.

c) Amnite L250 (BioSolv): This high potency bacterial formulation rapidly degrades deposited fat, oil and grease. The product keeps drain lines free flowing, eliminates foul odours and infestation associated with fat traps and also reduces the frequency of fat trap emptying.

d) Amnite S200 (EcoLoo): This formulation which contains a perfume is particularly suited for use in portable toilets and other sanitary systems. The product not only masks unpleasant odours but also commences the digestion of the organic solids which cause the malodours.

e) Amnite S250 (BioGest): The bacteria in the formulation are efficient at degrading organic solids. The product quickly establishes and maintains the natural biological process vital to the proper functioning of septic tanks.

The Amnite N-series includes a range of highly effective biological products to treat effluents containing ammonia and nitrite. The success of these products is due to the high activity of the component bacteria which rapidly oxidise these toxic compounds thus allowing increasingly stringent waste consent levels to be met. These products can be used across a broad spectrum of applications such as maintenance of nitrification in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants, re-establishment of nitrification after shocks in treatment plants, in start up situations for rapid establishment of nitrification and in lakes and large ponds enhancing the well being of wild life.

The product range includes:

a. Amnite NS5000: This is a concentrate of Nitrosomonas which will oxidise ammonia at the rate of 5000mg-N/h/Kg product.

b. Amnite NB2500: This is a concentrate of Nitrobacter which will oxidise nitrite at the rate of 2500mg-N/h/Kg product.

c. Amnite NS500: This is the standard Nitrosomonas formulation which will oxidise ammonia at the rate of 500mg-N/h/Kg product.

d. Amnite NB500: This is the standard Nitrobacter formulation which will oxidise nitrite at the rate of 500mg-N/h/Kg product.

e. Amnite N500: This is a mix of Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter which will oxidise both ammonia and nitrite at the rate of 500mg-N/h/Kg product.

The Amnite L-series includes a range of products that can deal efficiently with build-up of fat and grease and includes products specifically developed for the catering, hospitality and janitorial markets.

The product range includes:

a. Amnite L100: This is a liquid formulation of bacteria and surfactants designed to degrade fat, oil and grease in drain line and fat traps. The product has been specially formulated for the catering industry and keeps drain lines clear and free flowing. The product eliminates foul odours and infestation associated with fat traps and also reduces the frequency of fat trap emptying.

b. Amnite L150: This is a similar product to Amnite L100 but in a powdered form. The applications for this product are industrial e.g. the dairy and food processing industries.

c. Amnite L200: This is a liquid formulation designed for hospitality and janitorial situations. The product consists of bacteria, surfactant and a strong but pleasant perfume for odour control. The product has both a cleaning and odourising effect and its applications are numerous and varied. It can be used in hotels, motorway services, ferry ports, airports etc. to clean toilets, showers, baths and sinks, in laundry and garbage chutes and in bin areas.

d. Amnite L300: This is a liquid, biologically active surface cleaning agent which dissolves limescales and uric acid deposits. The formulation contains bacteria, surfactants and a perfume for odour control. It is suitable for use in both toilets and urinals.

The Amnite S-series are advanced formulations of facultative bacteria which will not only breakdown solids but also enhance the performance of aerobic treatment systems. The applications for these formulations are many and varied and include start up situations at treatment plants, enhancement of the performance of suboptimally operating plants, the re-establishment of biological activity in plants after shock situations and for the degradation of organic solids in lagoons.

The product range includes:

a. Amnite S100: This formulation of bacteria, nutrients and activated carbon is particularly effective in treating slurry lagoons and industrial waste lagoons.

b. Amnite S100KFC: This is a broad spectrum formulation that can deal efficiently with organic solids, fats and complex vegetable matter. The product is ideal for treating complex waste streams.

c. Amnite S150: This formulation is similar to Amnite S100 but without the activated carbon. This is the formulation normally used in treatment plants.

d. Amnite S150S: This formulation is for the treatment of slurries of animal wastes. The product homogenises the slurry, removes malodours associated with it and makes it suitable for spreading on land.

e. Amnite S300: This formulation is for the treatment of grease and sulphides in pump stations and rising mains. The product improves sewer flow, reduces corrosion due to sulphides and starts to treat the sewage thereby greatly reducing the organic loading reaching the treatment works.

The Amnite K-series of products are for use in industries such as paper manufacturing, food processing and dairies which suffer from filamentous bulking in their effluent treatment plants.

The product range includes:

a. Amnite K100: This is an enzyme based formulation specifically designed to treat and overcome the problems caused by bulking. This formulation is intended as a 'fire fighting' product which is applied after the problem has developed.

a. Amnite C100: This formulation includes micro-organisms that can deal efficiently with wood chips and bark. This product is being successfully used to compost municipal organic wastes, stable bedding etc.

a. Amnite B100: These are capsules containing a blend of microbial strains for use in BOD5 analysis.

The Amnite P-series are formulations to treat effluents from chemical and petrochemical industries as well as for use in sludge farming and land remediation projects.

The product range includes:

a. Amnite P100: This formulation is suitable for the degradation of aliphatic hydrocarbons from the simple alkanes to the long chain molecules such as C₂₅ - C₃₅ alkanes.

b. Amnite P300: This formulation is for the treatment of both aliphatic and aromatic compounds and therefore has a broad metabolic capability.

c. Amnite PC100: This formulation is ideal for treating complex, substituted organic compounds. The product can degrade halogenated and methylated compounds such as many disinfectants, herbicides and pesticides.

a. Amnite D100: This formulation is for the degradation of soaps and detergents. Presence of high levels of soaps and detergents will give rise to foam which can cause monitoring and control difficulties and more seriously reduce the oxygen transfer efficiency of aerators.

The Amnite A- and T-series of formulations are biologically based plant growth enhancers for use in agriculture and horticulture.

The product range includes:

a. Amnite A100: The formulation enhances the nutritional status of the plant environment resulting in a healthy plant with increased vigour to resist attack from pathogens. The product has been extensively tried and tested throughout Australia and South East Asia where the application of Amnite A100 has increased productivity.

b. Amnite AG100: This formulation has been developed to combat algal blooms in lakes and ponds.

c. Amnite T100: This formulation has been specifically developed to encourage rapid and successful growth of saplings in poor soils.
