IMPROVE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
A concentrated blend of naturally occurring microbes for treating toilet waste tanks. Friendly bacteria break down paper and solids for easy pumping.
THE PROBLEM:
Mobile toilets have some very specific problems: ease and frequency of emptying, float switches and valves getting jammed with waste and odour issues.
This has traditionally been dealt with by toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde whose disposal escalates costs due to ever heightened environmental safeguards. And chemicals such as formaldehyde merely act as preservatives and do nothing to help break down the organic matter or reduce sludge build-up.
The Solution
Our multi-strained blend of naturally occurring microbes digest fats, oils and greases (FOGs) and other organic waste, but specifically cellulose. Cellulose is a plant fibre that humans cannot digest and so is egested by the body, and is also the principal constituent of toilet paper. So let’s just say there’s an awful lot of cellulose in toilet tanks.
The bacteria we use in toilet tanks produce amylases, proteases, lipases and cellulase to biodegrade the solids found in the tanks and liquefy them for easy pumping.
Performance
Our mix of strains are selected for their prolific enzyme production and their tolerance across a broad range of temperature, pH and salinity. Facultatively anaerobic.
Typical Properties | |
---|---|
Type | Multiple Bacillus spp. |
Form | Endospores |
Effective temp range | 5°C-50°C (40°F-120°F) |
Effective pH range | 5.5 – 9.5 |
Bacterial activity | Facultative (growth with or without the presence of oxygen) |

The Result
Our blend of naturally-occurring, non-GMO bacteria produce enzymes (biological catalysts) that break down organic soiling and remove the source of odours.
The product is available in both solid and liquid formats.
The solid format is a small sachet of powder that simply needs flushing and is particularly useful in electrified rail operations where liquid products present a risk that should be minimised.
With so many buidings across our 15-acre estate we’ve managed to save well over 100 tons of water a week – and over 7 tons of CO2 off our carbon footprint. Sustainability is really important to us and to our community of 300+ businesses here at Digbeth – the fact we’re saving money too is a real bonus.
This is so simple to implement and it really works. Our loos are so much more pleasant and the odours have gone. This is a historic building and we were struggling with that. We’ve been working really hard to reduce our environmental impact this year; this one change is saving us literally tons of water, CO2 – and money.
We went waterless with the Radicle system and within a week we were getting positive comments from the team about how the urinal smells had disappeared. The loos are visibly cleaner, far more pleasant – and we’re saving a lot of money on water. It’s also reducing our carbon footprint – which as a business is very important to us.
