Apollo Greenzyme FAQ

Q.  By what mechanism does Apollo Greenzyme™ perform rapid release of hydrocarbon oil from the surface of solid waste?
A. The attached schematic diagrams will briefly describe the biological mechanisms for the Apollo Greenzyme™ reaction, please see explanation on the following pages.
Q.  Can Apollo perform a preliminary evaluation for my solid waste?
A. Yes, Apollo Separation Technology Inc can perform a preliminary evaluation and treatability study on any solid and liquid waste samples.
You will need to send Apollo a quart size sample for each application. You will also need to send Apollo a brief description of what the problem areas are.
If outside independent laboratory analysis is required, you will be charged a fee for this service.
Q.  How can I perform a simple jar test, to determine if Apollo Greenzyme™ is effective for cleaning my hydrocarbon contaminated and lightly weathered solid waste?
A. You can perform a simple jar test for your waste sample as follow:

a) From Apollo Greenzyme™ sample, which should be regarded as 100% concentrate for your testing purpose, prepare a 10% Greenzyme solution by simply diluting with water.
b) Scoop one part [by volume] of solid waste sample into a wide mouth glass jar. Then add three parts [by volume] of 10% Greenzyme into the same jar.
c) Close the cap of the jar, then shake the jar vigorously for one minute or more. Make sure you have good thorough mixing between the solid waste and the Greenzyme solution.
d) Open the cap of the jar, then add another 4 parts [by volume] of water into the jar. Close the cap. Hand shake the jar vigorously for another one minute of time.
e) Let the jar rest on a bench top for one hour and then observe.

If Apollo Greenzyme™ is effective in cleaning this solid waste, a top layer of hydrocarbon oil should be observed, this oil will be floating on top of the amber colored enzyme solution, i.e. a hydrocarbon oil and Greenzyme interface exists.
You will also see polished and cleaned solid sediments resting at the bottom of the jar.
f) Notice that both the immiscible hydrocarbon oil and the Greenzyme can be easily separated by using Apollo oil-water separator.
The bottom solids, which can be further polished by Greenzyme if necessary, can be easily separated from the liquid layers using a solid-liquid separator.
Q.  If my company has its own soil washing process, can we incorporate Apollo Greenzyme™ to improve our process?
A. Yes, Apollo can sell your company only the Greenzymes, which can dramatically improve your own soil washing process. Consult Apollo Separation Technology Inc for details and price quotations.
Q.  Does Apollo Separation Technology Inc has technologies to treat different types of hydrocarbon contaminated waste?
A. Yes, we have several advanced and proprietary technologies, which can be used to treat both hydrocarbon contaminated solid waste and liquid waste.

Most Apollo processes include the use of Apollo bioreactors, Apollo high efficiency oil-water separators, as well as other solid and liquid handling equipment.

These technologies are available for: licensing agreements; joint ventures for large or small remediation projects; and contracting services.
