The Oppenheimer Formula

The Oppenheimer Formula essentially consists of naturally communities of aerobic and microaerophilic microorganisms that have been selected from worldwide soil and water sources. Our primitive and ancient microbes have been chosen for their affinity for hydrocarbons, both biochemically and physically.

The formula is a highly concentrated consortia of primitive bacteria in the Domain Archaea, that bioremediate simple and complex hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is effective in recycling oils, sewage, grease, and chlorinated compounds in water and soils over a range of environments.

    Domain Archea

    For many years we have been aware of some of the unique characteristics of the Archaea and have adapted this into our formulas.

    The resulting formula has a wide range of metabolic functions, and an increase of salt and temperature tolerance.

    These primitive mixed cultures are capable of oxidizing the wide variety of the potential 300,000 natural hydrocarbon molecules that may have up to 60 carbon atoms.

 

Small, Primitive, and Powerful

Their average size is one micron, a 10,000th of a centimeter, 25,000ths of an inch, or 1 millionth of a meter.

Their size makes the microbe the smallest living unit that can contain the necessary complex chemicals for life processes and the necessary enzymes for recycling complex organic matter

They have a large surface to volume ratio allowing for a maximum cell wall activity.

  

How do microbes cleanup contaminates?

The microbes eat, digest, and convert hydrocarbons.

The hydrocarbons are first converted into fatty acids, which can be used as food by water and soil organisms.

These fatty acids are then converted into environmentally benign components like carbon, carbon dioxide, base elements and water.
