Abstract

BioClean and Liquid biofertilizers are green fermented liquid bioproducts. BioClean was produced by fermenting various flowers (such as lotus, marigold, orchid, etc.) while liquid biofertilizers were produced by using available biomaterials (such as vegetables, fruits, some herbaceous, etc.). These biomaterials had been fermented by mixing with molasses and adding 18 zymogenic synthetic microorganisms (18 ZSMs). The products of bioclean and liquid biofertilizers (v.2014) were aimed to produce and utilize for environmental and agricultural sectors to the two factories of Khon Kaen Fishing Net (Head office and Boworn branch) at Khon Kaen Province, Thailand. The properties of products were analysed and investigated by the steps of crops field test and water quality treatment for fishes living before servicing to target factories. The results of satisfactory rating of project service to the two target factories of Khon Kaen Fishing Net (Head office and Boworn branch) for encouraging along the way to “Big cleaning day and Green area 2014” were obtained 80.7% and 78.7% during services respectively, evaluated by the groups of general officers of two factories.

1. Introduction

BioClean and Liquid Biofertilizers are friendly green environmental liquid bioproducts to keep the faith an important role to along the way to environmental and agricultural sectors. BioClean was produced by using variously odoriferous flowers in order to service for environmental treatment. Liquid Biofertilizers were produced by using available materials in order to service for agricultural biofertilizers. These generated products of bioclean and liquid biofertilizers (version 2014) were aimed to service for the two factories of “Khon Kaen Fishing Net (Head office and Boworn branch)” on the event of “Khon Kaen Fishing Net Big Cleaning Day 2014” at Khon Kaen Province, Thailand. Thus, liquid biofertilizers products could applied for agricultural and environmental sections as similar as bioclean products. Furthermore, liquid biofertilizers were especially encouraged to green areas and small plant trees along all the main roads. The board of 18 microorganism species of zymogenic synthetic microorganisms [18 ZSMs] had been selected by Prof. Dr. Chaitat Pairintra, former professor at Khon Kaen University, and invented to our previously researched project of “Improvement of the theparuge’s liquid biofertilizer product” since 2002, which the group of 18 ZSMs were consisted of 9 bacteria, 6 fungi and 3 yeast species [1, 2].

2. Materials and Methods

2.1. Materials

The diversity of flowers species such as lotus, rose, marigold, orchid, chrysanthemum, etc. were collected to produce bioclean (v.2014) by purchased from a flowery shop within Khon Kaen University and received donation from several Buddhist temples at the regions of Khon Kaen Province. Meanwhile, liquid biofertilizers were produced by using the previously researched stocks of bioextracts of original microorganism seeding as bioextract Biotech-1 and bioextract Biotech-2. These original bioextracts had been produced by using available biomaterials such as vegetables, fruits, some herbaceous crops, etc. since 2003-2004. Molasses as substrate were purchased from a local sugar cane factory at Khon Kaen Province.

2.2. Equipments

The bioreactors of biofermenters and/or liquid biofermenters had been supported by using previous research bioreactors as a). A 300-L Liquid Biofermenter (Model KKU-1) equipped with a motor 1 hp, b). A 500-L Liquid Biofermenter (Model BT-1) equipped with a motor 1 hp and/or a compressor air supply, c-d). A pair of 500-L Liquid Biofermenter (Model BT-2) equipped with a stirrer motor 1 hp and/or an air pump supply and e).

2.3. Methods

The methods to produce bioclean are the three steps of classified processes as similar as to produce liquid biofertilizers except only differential raw materials use, as the following [3-15].
The 1st Step of Fermentation, available raw materials were cleaned and cut into small pieces for fermenting by mixing with molasses and adding 18 zymogenic synthetic microorganisms (18 ZSMs) as the ratio as “Materials : Molasses : 18 ZSMs of original microorganisms seeding of bioextract of liquid biofertilizer Biotech-1 = 3:1:1 or 3:1:2 [w/w/w]” to produce the bioextracts of microorganisms seeding (BMS) by using biofermenters during the retention time more than 2 weeks (≥14 days).
The 2nd Step of Inoculation, the bioextracts of microorganisms seeding (BMS) from the first step were inoculated as the ratio as “Molasses : Clean Water : BMS = 1:40:1 or 1:40:2 [v/v/v]” to produce the liquid bioproducts of microorganisms (LPM) by using liquid biofermenters during the retention time of 1-2 week (≥7-14 days).
The 3rd Step of Filtration, the liquid bioproducts of microorganisms (LPM) from the second step were filtrated by using filters such as clothing layer filters, etc. to obtain the final products as so called “BioClean” or “Liquid Biofertilizers” depend on the types of raw materials used.

2.4. Products Utilization

The products utilization of bioclean and liquid biofertilizers (BC&LB) were mainly utilized for environmental and agricultural sections.
For Agricultural Utilization, the products of liquid biofertilizers Biotech-1, 2 were utilized by using the concentration ratio of 1:2000 (0.05%) by spraying or pouring to growth crops every 5-7 days, and using the concentration ratio of 1:500 (0.2%) to plant trees and green areas for living places.
For Environmental Utilization, the product of bioclean was utilized by using the dilution ratio of 0.05% (1:2000) for floor cleaning/ wastewater treatment/ water quality treatment/ flood treatment/ etc., and using the concentration ratio of 70-100% for reducing odour treatment to bathroom/ lavatory/ toilet/ wc./ sewerage/ etc.

2.5. Products Quality Test
