Abstract:
1. A process of making a wastewater treating seaweed-containing liquid composition by the steps comprising: a. Adding to a first blend tank a first reference quantity of about 1,000-gallons, of a liquid extract of seaweed of a kind selected from the group consisting of b. Adding to said first quantity in said first blend tank about 7 quarts of a 37% formaldehyde solution to obtain a concentration of 0.1% (wt/wt) in said first quantity liquid extract-formaldehyde mixture; c. Agitating said liquid extract-formaldehyde mixture for a period of approximately 6 to 12 hours; d. Adding to said first blend tank about 12¾-gallons of a micro-nutrient based component consisting of the following nutrients in the ratios indicated in parentheses, 8% manganese sulfate (12.50%), 25% copper sulfate (0.48%), 20% iron sulfate (0.60%), 12.3% zinc sulfate (30.89%), 20.5% sodium borate (1.22%), 36% sodium molybdate (0.07%), citric acid (15.18%) and water (39.05%), wherein said nutrients are at a concentration of 0.2% to 1.8% (nutrients/liquid extract-formaldehyde mixture) (wt/wt); e. Agitating the liquid extract-formaldehyde-nutrient mixture for a period of from 6 to 12 hours; f. Adding to the contents of said first blend tank about 33⅓-gallons of an oxygen-containing component to achieve a concentration of 2-10% (vol/vol) with the liquid extract-formaldehyde-nutrient mixture, wherein said oxygen containing component being prepared by the steps of: (i) adding about 5-gallons of distilled water to a container; (ii) adding 50 to 200 oz. of a 37% hydrogen peroxide solution into the distilled water to achieve a final concentration of 1.0 to 5.0% (vol/vol); (iii) adding about 5.0 to 50.0 grams, of potassium stannate as a stabilizer into the water-peroxide solution; (iv) adding about 1,500-ml of the above concentrated oxygen-containing mixture to 1,000-gal of distilled water to achieve a final solution of the oxygen-containing component with a concentration of about 20 ppm dissolved oxygen; g. Agitating the then existing mixture in the first blend tank for approximately 1 to 2 hours; h. Adding to the first blend tank about 9-pounds of an antifungal compound selected from the group consisting of potassium sorbate, sodium propionate, sodium formate, propionic acid, and formic acid to achieve a concentration of between 0.05% to 0.30% (wt/wt); i. Agitating the then existing mixture in the first blend tank for a period of about 4 hours; j. Transferring about 333⅓-gallons of said then existing mixture from steps a-i into a second blend tank; k. Adding about 333⅓-gallons of a liquid extract of a peat-bacteria-antifungal mixture to the second blend tank prepared by the process comprising the steps of (i) adding about 200 to 500-pounds of peat in a preparation tank; (ii) adding about 1,000-gallons of water to the preparation tank to achieve a concentration of between 8.0 to 58.0% of humic acid; (iii) heating the contents of said preparation tank to about 100° F.; (iv) agitating the peat mixture in said preparation tank for a period of about 24 hours; (v) adding a bacteria-containing component comprising a mixture of aerobic and facultative bacteria to achieve a concentration of between 0.02% to 0.40% bacteria concentration; (vi) adding an antifungal compound selected from the group consisting of potassium sorbate, sodium propionate, sodium formate, propionic acid, and formic acid to achieve a concentration of between 0.05% to 0.30% (wt/wt) of the antifungal compound to the peat-bacteria mixture; (vii) agitating the peat-bacteria-antifungal mixture at about 100° F. for about 24 hours; and (viii) extracting the peat-bacteria-antifungal mixture through a 60-mesh shaker screen; l. Adding to the second blend tank about 333⅓-gallons of an oxygen-containing component obtained by the process in step f above; and m. Adding a lactobacillus/aloe mixture consisting of about 125-ml of a concentrated solution of lactobacillus acidophilus, about 50-gallons of a 1:1 concentrate of aloe and an antifungal compound selected from the group consisting of potassium sorbate, sodium propionate, sodium formate, propionic acid, and formic acid to achieve a concentration of between 0.05% to 0.30% (wt/wt).
