Acid replacement solutions for Vineyards
Summary
Traditional vineyard irrigation systems often suffer from biofilm and mineral buildup, leading to uneven water distribution and reduced crop yields. Phyto-Catalyst offers a revolutionary, organic solution that eliminates the need for harsh acids and manual flushing. Its nano-bubble technology oxygenates water, naturally disinfects lines, and transforms harmful deposits into beneficial nutrients for soil microbiology.
Biofilm eradication in vineyard irrigation lines
No more harsh dangerous acids and toxic disinfectants.
What if a micro-irrigation systems could run clean all year, without flushing or applying harmful acids?
Phyto-Catalyst replaces the traditional irrigation cleaning regimen of acids, flushing, and scrubbing, with a treatment of fermented organic plant materials and yeast extracts that produces extremely reactive nano-bubbles.
Problem:
Since its invention in the 1960s, drip irrigation technology has revolutionized agriculture – reducing water consumption by 30 to 60 percent and increasing crop yields by 20 to 50 percent. But along with these benefits to the agricultural industry comes the chronic problem of bio-films and mineral deposits. Bacteria grow in nutrient rich irrigation water and secrete “slimes” that act like glue binding together minerals in the water, into deposits which clog drip emitters and water filters. When irrigation systems become clogged they fail to distribute water and nutrients evenly. The acidic and caustic chemicals used to treat bio-films and mineral deposits are dangerous for farm workers and largely ineffective.
Solution:
In vineyards, the growers don’t want to shut down the irrigation system and clean it out with dangerous acids and peroxides.
Photo-Catalyst is a new, non-toxic cleaning treatment that breaks up the bio-films and mineral deposits that often clog emitters and filters. The nano-bubbles it generates super saturate the water with oxygen, nature’s disinfectant, and adhere to bio-films. A rapid oxidation takes place and the bio-films and mineral deposits are shattered and washed into the soil, where they become nutrients for the beneficial aerobic bacteria in the soil
Photo-Catalyst continues to work in the soil by aerating the soil and by stripping roots of biofilm. The roots are thus able to take up nutrients much more efficiently.
Since Phyto-Catalyst cleans continuously during irrigation there is no need to shut the system down to clean the irrigation lines.

Mineral deposits collect in work areas and on the pedestals. These deposits can cause power leeching, loss of speed and machine efficiency. This will lead to machine damage and expensive repairs.
In the past dangerous acids have been used to clean the machines.
Dangerous acids work well but can damage the conductivity of the machine and could potentially damage your resin and glue that holds the diamond guides.
Acid replacement technology is extremely effective In removing mineral deposits from EDM machines without the risk to workers associated with the use of dangerous acids.
Acid replacement technology will not harm resins and will not adversely affect machine conductivity.

Acid replacement solutions for Breweries
Acid replacement technology effectively and safely removes beerstone, the scale that forms in aging tanks, serving tanks and kegs.
Beerstone can be incredibly difficult to remove, especially after the buildup becomes noticeable. Once tanks are initially cleaned with acid replacement technology, problem can be kept from reoccurring with routine maintenance.
- No harmful skin irritation.
- No fumes
- No worker safety issues.
- Cleans without harm or corrosion to stainless steel caused by dangerous acids.
Beerstone is a type of scale known as calcium oxalate.
Calcium Oxylate forms due to a reaction between alkaline caustic cleaners hard water minerals (calcium, iron and magnesium) and protein amino acids. Often traditional cleaning methods will assist in creating a beerstone problem. If left unchecked, beerstone can ruin the flavor of beer.
If not completely removed in the cleaning process, beerstone leaves an unsanitary surface that can harbor microorganisms. This unsanitary surface will infect the beer. Beerstone can cause "off flavors" or shorten the shelf life of beer. In the worst case, undesirable organisms can ruin an entire batch of beer.
