ABATE (XP)

ABATE (XP) is a highly concentrated, 100% water-soluble powder.

ABATE (XP) works on contact and eliminates the mal-odor by changing the source through catalytic reaction. In order to remove the odor, ABATE (XP) must come in direct contact with the source of the odor!

USDA approved, guaranteed not to harm humans, animals or plant life.

ABATE (XP) is completely water-soluble and can be applied with any type of sprayer (quart hand sprayer for around urinals, or large sprayers for garbage areas). It may also be applied in rinse water for bathrooms or used in carpet cleaning machines in final water.

****Effects of time, pH and temperature

In general, the concentration of enzymes and the reaction time are inversely related. In other words, the greater the concentration of enzymes, the less time is required to break down a compound. The optimum pH is realized at 6.0 to 7.0, however the enzymes are very effective in a pH range of 5.0 to 9.0. Most situations will fall within the optimum range.

Enzymes are most effective in temperatures ranging from 40 F to 100 F, with a slower reaction rate in the lower portion of the temperature range. Dry enzymes are quite stable when stored in a dry area and at cool temperatures.

ABATE (XP) will remain over 90% active after 5 years if kept dry. Dissolved ABATE can sit unused for up to 24 hours, although for maximum efficiency, we recommend use within 4 hours.

ABATE (XP) is far ahead of competitive products in both concentration and effectiveness. A true 21st century product!

Liquid enzyme products are mainly water (up to 90%) and usually contain only one kind of enzyme. ABATE (XP) has four kinds of enzymes (Protease, Amylase, Lipase and Cellulase).

ABATE (XP) contains a minimum of the following:

Protease: 38,000------Subtilisin Units / per gram

Lipase: 1,000------Lipase Units / per gram

Amylase: 5,000 to 10,000 Thermostable Amylase Units / per gram

Cellulase: Not less than 280 WCA / per gram (Wallerstein Cellulase Activity)

Usually odor control is achieved very rapidly by using ABATE (XP). Even skunk scent is gone in a matter of minutes. When this product is used in large doses, always dissolve required amount in a minimum amount of lukewarm water. Pour solution into larger container and mix. This will aid in completely dissolving the powder to obtain the best results.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

ABATE (XP) is a water-soluble multi-enzyme compound. It is different than conventional odor-suppressing chemicals in that it works directly on the basic source of the odor. Biocide deodorants work directly on the odor and while they are effective, daily/high dose levels are required. The action of ABATE (XP) changes the organic compound causing the odor. Sewage or livestock lagoons require constant treatments with a biocide deodorant. Two treatments with ABATE (XP) will solve the odor problem in most lagoons for an extended period.

THE ENZYME ACTIVITY OF ABATE (XP) CAUSES THESE REACTIONS, WHEN USED AS DIRECTED:

1. Produces a small quantity of Formaldehyde, which is highly effective for acceleration of germination and resultant growth, because it combines with ammonia to form a new substance call Hexameteylene Tetramine.

2. Produces a small quantity of Urease Oxygen, which, in turn, hydrolyzes urea to form Ammonium Carbonate.

3. Converts Acid Urine into Alkari Urine, and oxidizes Yellow Hydroserirubin of Bile pigment in Biliverdin.

4. Unlike conventional odor control products, which often suppress plant life when used as a fertilizer, ABATE (XP) changes all the compounds causing the odor. This action stops formations of Fatty Acid Ammonia Carbonate, Indole, Scatol and Sulfurated Hydrogen. The end product from this reaction will not burn grass or other plant life, even if used at very high levels.

ABATE (XP) is applicable in all areas of organic mal-odor control. Equally effective in the control of Ammonia generated by the flock in broiler/egg laying housing--highly useful in the control of elevated levels of Ammonia concentrations in aquarium/aquaculture farming. Accelerates manure degradation (fish, poultry, swine, cattle).

ABATE (XP) is water soluble--efficient--economical--safe--environmentally friendly.

Fly Control

ABATE (XP) is extremely effective in eliminating fly production. The following points outline how this is accomplished.

1. Ordinary fly and odor control products typically work by contact and/or residual, and is directed on the fly itself. ABATE (XP) is quite different because it is active in the organic matter which is the host bed for fly larvae and is the point where odors arise due to natural organic decay.

2. The addition of ABATE (XP) in the manner recommended, in the treatment information, alters the organic material as no natural decomposition can do and thus creates an all new environment which cannot create mal-odors and in which the fly larvae cannot survive.

3. In the process, ABATE (XP) converts ammoniacal nitrogen to nitrites so that odors typical of urine do not develop. There is little or no "gassing off" with ABATE (XP). The gasses produced are odorless. The action of ABATE (XP) also causes a small amount of Urease Oxygen to be produced, which soon hydrolyzes Urea (from the urine) to form Ammonium Carbonate. The use of ABATE (XP) impedes the formation of fatty acid ammonium carbonate, indole, scatole and sulfurated hydrogen, thus completely altering the mal-odor, fly attraction, and fly supporting organic material into an entirely incongruous material.

4. Manure, so treated, makes excellent fertilizer because while it contains valuable plant nutrients, it cannot burn grass or other plant life, even when used in large quantities.

Poultry

AMMONIA: is a pervasive and ever-present constituent of the atmosphere in poultry houses. The ammonia is created by the decomposition of excess proteins and uric acid excreted by chickens. Under conditions of heat and high humidity, ambient ammonia levels approaching 50 PPM can be experienced. High levels of ammonia can be delertious, if not fatal, to chickens. Any adverse effect on the health of the chicken may impair its ability or desire for feed, thus reducing the maximum weight gain that may be expected during the growth cycle. Historically, atmospheric ammonia in poultry houses has been controlled through the use of ventilation fans and adjustable side curtains. As ammonia concentrations increase, curtains are lowered and the fans are run to pull outside air into the house, forcing the ammonia-laden air out. In the winter, this process also exhausts very expensive heated air. The formation of ammonia for decomposing protein and Uric acid is biologically mediated. Microorganisms in the litter derive energy and cell material from the breakdown of proteins to their constituent amino acids. Nitrogen is passed through a biochemical chain of urea, ammonia, nitrite, and finally nitrate. When the majority of the nitrogen in litter reaches the nitrate form, the litter is essentially stabilized and no longer creates a serious ammonia problem. The rate limiting part of this equation is in the conversion of urea and ammonia to nitrite and nitrate. When moisture levels are high, and litter pH exceeds 7.2 to 7.4 urea is hydrolyzed to ammonia at a faster rate than the ammonia can be converted to nitrite/nitrate. Evolutions of gaseous atmospheric ammonia results.

IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE RELEASE OF AMMONIA FROM POULTRY LITTER, THE LOGICAL APPROACH IS TO CONTROL THE SOURCE. MICROORGANISMS "CREATE" THE AMMONIA, AND IT IS THE MICROORGANISMS THAT MUST BE CONTROLLED TO REDUCE AMMONIA.

This can be accomplished by inoculating the litter with "specific enzymes," (natural and synthetic) with a known capacity to accelerate and stabilize the rate of protein decomposition.

DIRECTIONS FOR CONTROL OF ORGANIC ODOR

ABATE (XP) should be applied after it is well mixed with water. Use at least 100 gallons of water in the solution for one million gallons of lagoon capacity or 20,000 gallons of holding tank capacity. Applications should be made over the entire surface of the lagoon or tank. A water hose connected to a high-pressure pump does a good job. If possible, use warm water to make the solution.

Odor Control In:

Manure pile--Poultry Houses--Feed Lots--Swine & Cattle Barns--Mink Ranches--Outdoor Toilets--Zoos--Etc....

Mix well, at the rate of 1 ounce to 10 gallons of water. Apply at the rate of 1 gallon of this solution to 500 sq. ft. (about the same as if you were spray painting the surface). Use any type of sprayer as long as it is clean (Free of bactericides, pesticides, etc..).

ABATE (XP) is water soluble and completely safe for humans, animals, and poultry. It will not harm plant life if sprayed directly on it.

CONDITIONS VARY FROM FARM TO FARM AND FROM STATE TO STATE. THE OPERATOR SHOULD EXPERIMENT WITH THE SMALLEST DOSE THAT WILL BRING THE DESIRED RESULTS.
