We have taken Old World innovations to levels that no one else has even considered. Our more than three decades of chemistry research involves Old World common sense and combines it with new technologies to provide biodegradable concepts that avoid the use of chlorinated and heavy metal type compounds. In other words, we have not only learned from days of old, but have taken these proven ideas to a higher level than any other company on Earth.

For starters, Green Downstream Products, LLC takes Mother Nature’s cue and combines innovative techniques to eliminate blockages and odors that build up from man-made pollutions. These detrimental compounds become hard as rubber, and often smell worse than manure. Sure, the odor is terrible, but it also creates a corrosive problem from the hydrogen sulfide that damages concrete and metal. The biodegradable components also create an environment very undesirable to humans and animals because of fungi, along with the disease-bearing compounds they create.

Our process term is called Green Downstream® for a very good reason. It describes formulations that digest these accumulated biohazards with natural enzymes. These technologies actually eat these harmful pollutants. Furthermore, each ingredient goes after a specific type of compound to break it down into small unit-building blocks. Not only do these compounds work to eliminate blockages and/or odors, but they are used to maintain the cleansing and balance in pipes, drains, sewers and POTWs.

When these corrosive compounds and horrible odors are treated with enzymes called proteases (and protease-producing microbes), a controlled environment is produced. From there, the adverse proteins are digested into more controllable units that go downstream without causing any corrosion, odor or blockage problems. The sequence of degradation is very similar to that of fats, in that a consortia of microbes and enzymes are needed to break these compounds down into their amino acid units. Some are then reassembled to create more enzymes. This in turn continues the process to improve the efficiency of the system even more.

The third class of compounds consists of starches and large carbohydrates. These come from breads, paper goods, dairy products and some glues. They accumulate in drains, pipes, sewer lines and POTWs. These starches and carbohydrates come from long “chains” of sugars and can start to ferment to produce both alcohol and biofilm. Both cause offensive odors, blockage and corrosion. They are digested by a class of compounds called amylases, cellulases and hemi cellulases. They also come from microbes that produce these compounds. Many times the microbes in sewers and drain areas cannot break down the complex starches. The amylases in our formulations break down the starches and use the simple sugars in a productive fashion without the formation of odors, biofilm and acids.

All of these harmful compounds come out of restaurants, households, commercial and industrial buildings and institutional facilities. And while other “green”-type cleaners use friendly compounds to wash away some of the problems, the offending material remains, builds up and turns into odor-causing and corrosive-creating compounds. The only way to truly help the Earth combat these materials is to treat it at the source.

Green Downstream’s strategy resolves many of the problems associated with the maintenance of drains, pipes, sewer lines and POTWs. Furthermore, if implemented in all communities, our processes represent a significant cost savings.

From the consumer and all the way downstream, Green Downstream Products provides a full world of products for a cleaner, healthier Earth.
