Biological cleaning chemistry — Bacillus microbes and enzyme catalysts
THE SCIENCE

Biological chemistry, engineered for institutional facilities.

Every biom product is built on two biological technologies — beneficial Bacillus microbes and targeted enzyme catalysts. Together, they digest organic contamination at the molecular level, leaving behind only water and CO₂.

THE CORE PRINCIPLE

Conventional chemistry lifts. Biological chemistry digests.

Conventional cleaners — quaternary ammonium compounds, synthetic surfactants, petroleum solvents — work by displacement. They lift organic contamination off surfaces, suspend it in solution, and rinse it away to wastewater systems where it accumulates as biofilm, FOG buildup, and downstream pollution.

Biological chemistry works through digestion. Bacillus microbes and enzyme catalysts actively break down organic contamination at the molecular level, converting fats, oils, greases, biofilms, proteins, and petroleum into water and CO₂ as biological end products.

MEET YOUR WORKFORCE

Bacillus: industrial microbiology at work.

Bacillus species are spore-forming, gram-positive bacteria with a 50+ year track record in industrial bioremediation, agriculture, and waste treatment. Common in soil and naturally occurring across environments, they're recognized by the EPA, FDA, and global regulatory bodies as safe for industrial use.

When activated, Bacillus produce enzymes that break down complex organic molecules — then consume the broken-down fragments as a food source, fueling rapid colony growth and continuous biological cleaning across treated surfaces and drain systems.

THE CATALYSTS

Enzymes: precision molecular tools.

Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions without being consumed. In biom products, four enzyme classes work alongside Bacillus — each purpose-built for the molecular bond it breaks.

LIPASES
Break down fats, oils, and greases
Target lipid bonds in FOG buildup, kitchen grease, petroleum residues, and hydraulic fluid contamination.
Active in: BioCut · BioCut 10X · BioFlōr
PROTEASES
Break down proteins and organic soils
Target food residues, blood, biofilm protein matrices, and organic staining in laundry and surface applications.
Active in: BioSurf · BioDish · BioLinen
AMYLASES
Break down starches and sugars
Target carbohydrate residues from foodservice, beverage operations, and cafeteria warewashing applications.
Active in: BioDish · BioSurf
CELLULASES
Break down plant-based fibers
Target cellulose residues in laundry applications and organic soils from groundskeeping operations.
Active in: BioLinen
SPORE-FORM DELIVERY

How dormant bacteria survive in concentrate.

Bacillus spores are nature's storage format — a dormant, protective form of the bacterium that survives years of dry storage and concentrate chemistry. This is what makes biom products stable on the shelf and instantly activatable in the field.

01
Dormant spore
Encased in protective coating. Inactive. Highly stable.
02
Trigger detected
Moisture + organic food source signals suitable environment.
03
Germination
Spore activates into vegetative bacterium. Enzyme production begins.
04
Active digestion
Colonies grow and consume organic contamination.
THE CONCENTRATE ADVANTAGE

Stop paying to ship water.

Every biom product is a true concentrate. A single gallon of BioFlōr makes 128 gallons of ready-to-use cleaning solution at standard dilution. Compare that to conventional ready-to-use products where 95% of what you're paying for and shipping is water.

CONVENTIONAL VS BIOLOGICAL

Why the chemistry actually matters.

Side-by-side, the difference between conventional displacement chemistry and biom's biological digestion shows up in every dimension procurement officers and compliance teams evaluate.
