Ergon Bio Cleanser -HSN 3507 - Bio-Enzymatic formulation Anaerobic Bacterial Digestion


🔹 Stage I – Bio Anaerobic & Anaerobic Bacterial Digestion
Ergon Bio Cleanser® is an advanced bio-enzymatic formulation developed for anaerobic and hybrid wastewater treatment systems. It accelerates natural digestion of organic waste, reduces sludge accumulation, neutralizes odour, and enhances effluent quality — without chemicals or electricity.
Anaerobic bacteria (microorganisms that thrive without oxygen) break down the settled organic matter. This produces:
Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
Methane (CH₄)
Water (H₂O) Stabilized biomass

Typical Acidogenic Reactions: Glucose fermentation to acids: C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2CH₃CH₂COOH + 2CO₂ + 2H₂
Alcohol formation: C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2CH₃CH₂OH + 2CO₂

Main Products:
• Volatile fatty acids (propionic, butyric, lactic acids) VFAs, CO₂, H₂
• Hydrogen gas (H₂)
• Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Results:
✔ Major reduction in BOD and COD
✔ Suppression of sulphide-forming, odour-causing bacteria
✔ Generates substrates for acetogenesis
 odour suppression

Stage 3 – Acetogenesis  (CPHEEO 2013 – Sec. 7.4.3 | IS 2470-1:1985 Cl. 5.3)
Purpose: To convert volatile fatty acids into acetate, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide, ensuring system stability.
Representative Reaction: CH₃CH₂COOH + 2H₂O → CH₃COOH + CO₂ + 3H₂
✔ pH stabilization & controlled digestion

Outputs:
• Acetate (CH₃COOH)
• Hydrogen gas (H₂)
• Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Results:
✔ Prevents acid shock and prolonged low pH
✔ Maintains stable digestion conditions
✔ Provides controlled feed for methanogenesis

Stage 4 – Methanogenesis (CPHEEO 2013 – Sec. 7.4.4 | IS 2470-1:1985 Cl. 6)
Purpose:  To convert acetate and hydrogen into methane and carbon dioxide, completing anaerobic digestion.
Methanogenic Reactions:
Acetoclastic methanogenesis: CH₃COOH → CH₄ + CO₂
Hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis: CO₂ + 4H₂ → CH₄ + 2H₂O

Results:
✔ Complete stabilization of organic matter
✔ Stable end products with minimal sludge
✔ Elimination of residual odour compounds
✔ Minimal, biologically inert sludge formation

Ergon Bio Greywater Treatment System 

🌊 Ergon Bio Greywater Treatment – System Overview

System Provider: Ergon INC  - Ergon Bio Greywater Treatment System
Technology: Biological | Zero Energy | Zero Chemical | Decentralized

Greywater generated from bathrooms, wash basins, showers, laundries, and kitchens (excluding blackwater) is biologically treated using the Ergon Bio Tank system. The process follows natural anaerobic and aerobic biological treatment, producing environmentally safe water suitable for reuse or recharge without electricity or chemicals. Greywater generated from bathrooms, wash basins, showers, laundries, and kitchens (excluding blackwater) is biologically treated using the Ergon Bio Tank system. The process follows natural anaerobic + aerobic biological treatment, producing environmentally safe water suitable for gardening, groundwater recharge, or reuse (with UV polishing)—without electricity or chemicals.

🟢 1) Bio Tank – Primary & Secondary Biological Treatment
📌 Process Description

Greywater enters the Ergon Bio Tank where it undergoes primary anaerobic digestion followed by secondary aerobic polishing. Naturally occurring bacteria, supported by Ergon Bio Cleanser®, break down soaps, oils, detergents, and organic residues.

🧬 Biological Treatment Stages
