WWW™ ArxZyme™ AN Protein Catalyst

Accelerate Protein Degradation in Anaerobic Systems

Enzymatic Solution for Enhanced Protein Hydrolysis and VFA Production

Enhance your anaerobic digestion performance with ArxZyme™ AN Protein Catalyst, an advanced bioaugmentation solution specifically engineered to optimize protein degradation and volatile fatty acid (VFA) production. This specialized blend of anaerobic proteolytic microbes and catalytic enzymes systematically breaks down complex proteins into readily available nutrients that fuel your anaerobic processes.

By targeting the critical protein hydrolysis step, ArxZyme™ AN Protein Catalyst accelerates the conversion of difficult-to-digest protein compounds into bioavailable peptides and amino acids. This enhanced breakdown not only improves overall digester efficiency but also generates valuable VFAs that support downstream biological processes and boost methane production.

Whether you're managing a municipal anaerobic digester or industrial pre-treatment facility, our carefully selected consortium of proteolytic microbes ensures consistent performance even under challenging conditions. The dual-action approach of enzymatic catalysis and microbial fermentation provides a comprehensive solution for facilities struggling with protein-rich waste streams.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I expect to see results after adding ArxZyme AN Protein Catalyst?

Initial improvements in protein degradation can be observed within 5-7 days, with optimal performance typically achieved within 2-3 weeks as the microbial population establishes.

Can this product be used in systems with varying pH levels?

Yes, ArxZyme AN Protein Catalyst is designed to perform effectively within the typical pH range of anaerobic digesters (6.8-7.2), though optimal results are achieved when pH is maintained between 7.0-7.2.

How does this product handle shock loads of protein-rich waste?

The dual-action formulation helps buffer against shock loads by rapidly hydrolyzing proteins and maintaining stable VFA production, preventing system upsets.

What is the recommended dosing frequency?

Initial seeding requires a higher dose for 3-5 days, followed by maintenance dosing based on system volume and protein loading. Our technical team can provide specific dosing recommendations for your application.

Will this product interfere with existing anaerobic populations?

No, ArxZyme AN Protein Catalyst is designed to work synergistically with existing anaerobic populations, enhancing rather than disrupting the natural microbial community.
