Environment

For decades, environmental groups have been discussing environmental problems.  Very few of them have offered solutions. Why not focuses on using Effective Microorganisms Technology™  to  provide solutions to pollution.  Effective Microorganisms Technology™ is easy to use and cost effective because it does not requires changes to the existing treatment and collection system and application equipment is relatively inexpensive. 

EM Research Organization (EMRO), and its affiliates around the world, have produced more on-site (in-situ) examples of EM Technology™ working than any other company.  

  

Many of the problems in the environment revolve around “wastes” and what to do with them. Wastewater treatment is almost entirely a biological process, using beneficial microorganisms to digest wastes and take advantage of their beneficial by-products such as oxygen and vitamins. Composting is a biological method of managing mostly solid wastes into a soil amendment. Bioremediation is the use of microorganisms and plants to breakdown unwanted substances that were released into our environment.  Landfills are an antiquated method of burying unwanted “wastes” that could be otherwise recycled into other useful products if proper methods are applied. 

Nature has a powerful cleansing ability, often taking long periods to run through its cycles. Nature uses microorganisms to break down substances. This long process is generally done through an anaerobic (without air) process. Humans, however, like things to go quickly and therefore manage the wastes by using the faster aerobic (with air) processes. Most conventional thinking focuses on aerobic treatments because of gross generalizations about anaerobic bacteria being the "pathogens" or the "odor producers". The natural processes quickly revert to anaerobic processes when left on their own and will often turn putrefactive (rotting). However, another method of treating wastes is to go through a fermentative (preserving) process that involves less energy, prevents the growth of pathogens, odors, and results in by-products such as amino acids and antioxidants (vitamins).

"Wastes" should be looked at as "resources" and technologies like EM Technology™ make this possible in a very efficient and effective manner.
