"We applied APEX-10 for the first time to our Kentucky Blue/Ryegrass Minor League Baseball Field after a considerable stressful stretch of games in August. We aerated, over seeded with rye grass and applied APEX -10. Within seven days the turf had recovered and was looking and playing great just in time for our 2012 playoff run. I intend to fully incorporate APEX-10 into my foliar spray program for the upcoming 2013 season."
BAE has been an invaluable tool for our WWTP, increasing our biogas production for reuse onsite and decreasing our energy demand on utilities. I’d highly recommend BAE to fellow wastewater treatment professionals.
Since implementing the use of BAE® in the digester, Landis Sewerage Authority (LSA) has vastly improved not only digester performance, but also increased the efficiency of the CHP system. The EPA recognized the results of this outstanding performance and awarded LSA with the EPA 2010 ENERGY STAR Award.

I would have never believed it would work this well! The septic system at my location began failing in 2005 when we were pumping it bi-weekly. Over the years various treatments had been tried to repair the system, but to no avail. Many experts blamed the failure on the fact that we have a Dunkin Donuts in our store and the grease that is created from their products getting into the system. Over the years the frequency of pumping had increased dramatically. For the last three or four years we have been pumping twice a week.
During the first week of April of this year 2012, the first treatment of Eco-Hancer was added to my system and all pumping was canceled until further notice. I was worried that the system would back up that weekend; it takes less than a week before it starts backing up into my building. Well, the system never backed up; in fact it hasn’t been pumped at all since the first treatment, it’s now the first week of October. I am amazed at how well Eco-Hancer has worked to solve my problem. I highly recommend to anyone with a septic system to give this product a try.
"When we started using APEX-10™, we immediately saw positive results. We noticed early on that we could start to reduce our fertilizer needs. We also started cutting back our water usage, which ended up being the biggest plus for us because by the end of the season we had recorded the hottest, driest summer on record. Our golfers always asked us how we kept our greens and tees in great shape through that heat and stress. We told them countless hours of hard work, but we knew the truth. APEX-10™ was the only change we made from the year before, and the improvement in the turf was remarkable.
Being a public golf course, money is always a concern, but APEX-10™ easily fit into our budget and by the end of the season we were ahead of the game due to the cutback in fertilizer, water and the labor costs to apply them."
Like many wastewater treatment facilities across the country, Joint Meeting of Essex and Union Counties (JMEUC), a 55MGD facility, was looking to increase their digester gas production. They were introduced to BAE, and a protocol was developed to feed the digesters at a rate of 28 gallons per day. Digester gas production began to increase at 30 days into the evaluation. After the second 30 day period the digester gas production had increased 52%. Additional benefits realized included a drastic reduction in centrate solids returned to the treatment plant for processing and a 35% reduction in pounds of polymer per dry ton of solids dewatered.
Annual Gross Savings total $1.2 Million

At English Sewage Disposal, we have always been skeptical of products claiming to fix failing systems. Fortunately, we have seen for ourselves the benefits of using EcoHancer® in our customers’ systems. We have tested EcoHancer under controlled and closely monitored conditions and found measureable improvements in failing systems in as little as two months. We believe that EcoHancer provides the needed natural boost to the septic bacteria that are needed to help protect the system from the harmful chemicals flushed down the drain every day.
Hayward Water Pollution Control Facility (HWPCF) treats an average dry weather daily flow of 11.9 MGD, with peak daily flows averaging 18.5 MGD. An independent third party was brought in to validate the benefits of BAE® and perform an in depth review of the data and relative equipment. All inconsistencies were taken into account and extracted from the provided data. The resulting conclusion shows a positive effect. The addition of 6 gallons per day of BAE® from May 23, 2011 to December 31, 2011 significantly increased the production of biogas by 36%, which in turn resulted in an increase of kWh generated on-site by the engines. In addition, a substantial decrease in volatile solids was noted.
"APEX-10 truly provides us an added benefit, for our customers helping them be more effective at managing a healthy stand of turf and providing a better playing surface, while reducing inputs."

Del Vel has been a distributor for Greenovative Technologies since May 2011. Working with septic installers and pumpers is a large part of our business, so EcoHancer is a perfect fit for us. In the past, we have sold harsh chemicals to maintain septic systems, but EcoHancer is a cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally-friendly alternative. Our customers like the product and have seen numerous positive results, including improved septic system efficiency, improved drain field performance, reduced odor, and reduced sludge buildup.
Red Lion Diner was one of the first projects that we used EcoHancer on. Before using the product, their septic system was in very bad shape and had massive system failure, odor, and a flooded drain field. After 9 weeks, the system completely turned around with improved efficiency, reduced odor, and a clear, dry drain field.
Total System Solution is a success! We are very impressed with the results from treating our grease, and we are already saving money on maintenance costs!
The Gloucester County Utilities Authority (GCUA) WWTP is currently permitted to treat 24.1 MGD, and the plant treats leachate from the local landfill, as well as septage that is hauled to the plant. Gloucester County is a well operated wastewater treatment plant, however, due to the record rainfalls in August and September 2011, the plant experienced influent flows of 53 MGD, and the plant biology was depleted. In addition, the amount of leachate delivered to the plant increased more than five fold. Truckloads per day increased from 12 truckloads per day to 63 truckloads per day, creating an ammonia problem in the aeration basins. As a result, chlorine demand was at a very high level. Plant operations were disrupted due to lower detention times and solids wash outs. BAE® proved to be GCUA’s go-to tool to solve the unexpected problems that can arise. Within just a matter of days the operations of the aeration basins were stabilized and back to normal.
"APEX-10 has proven to help the turf on our tee boxes during stressful periods. The tees outperformed those that were not treated with APEX-10. I look forward to expanding its use to our greens." In the 2011 season, Chris successful decreased his fertilizer use by 63%, from 2lbs to 3/4 lb. per 1,000 sq. ft.
Lewistown WWTP had a particular challenge during heavy rain events, which included the possible loss of solids from the final clarifiers due to high plant influent flow conditions. Filamentous bacteria had overwhelmed the treatment biology during late winter and early spring as the wastewater temperature began to increase. To compensate for the possible loss of solids, polymer was added to the secondary clarifiers and bacteria were added to the primary clarifier effluent.At the conclusion of the 60 day cycle, both polymer and bacteria were discontinued and the microorganism population was in complete order.
“I do not have a green thumb and have struggled for years to have beautiful flowers in the Spring and Summer. Having recently relocated to Charlotte, we have experienced triple digit temperatures and heat for weeks that even the best grass irrigation systems cannot handle. However, I am pleased to say that Nature’s Wonder is truly a 'wonder'ful product that can overcome the worst gardener and the worst of nature’s elements. My flowers continue to flourish and add beauty to my landscaping despite my neglect during out-of-town trips. My mums are also flowering, despite a specialist telling me they would not grow past the fall season in Charlotte and to throw them away. In short, I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this product. It can make any gardening novice look like a pro...as I’m an excellent example.”
We planted six 15-foot Crepe Myrtle Trees in the heat of the Summer because of a Grand Opening deadline. The addition of the Nature’s Wonder product made a huge difference in their survival and saved Joseph’s from the additional costs of having to replace them.

The Cumberland County Utility Authority (CCUA) began using BAE in their primary anaerobic digester because they were having difficulty maintaining the minimum volatile solids destruction (VSD) of 38% required by the NJDEP for land applying sludge.
BAE had clearly demonstrated that a balance between the acid formers and methane formers had been created and a stimulating effect was taking place within the primary digester, improving the performance of the two-stage secondary digester. Dewatering by the plants centrifuge machine improved, receiving digested sludge as high as 6% creating a dewatered cake at 25 to 28%.
Since 2007, Joseph’s has applied Nature’s Wonder APEX-10 organic biostimulant to all of our trees and shrubs when first planted. The results have been outstanding. In fact, APEX-10 improved our revenue to loss and lost opportunity revenue ratio by almost 50%. We highly recommend the use of this product on all plants, trees and turf.
BAE is benefiting communities everyday. Read six brief summaries of BAE at work in our Renewable Energy Brochure.
Our goal is to have the best field in the state. We have been using JSHi’s APEX-10 and have been extremely pleased with the results as our football field and lower soccer field both look really good. In addition, the trees near the admin building are much healthier than before.
Tom Villane got great results in his vegetable garden using APEX-10!
"This is a picture of my garden. I have planted a garden every year since I was a little kid. After using your Nature's Wonder at planting time, I have to say, this is the best garden I've ever had. You should call it Magic Elixer!"
