A variety of unique properties, non-toxicity and biodegradability allow biosurfactants to be used in every industry and in every aspect of human life.
Oil & Gas Industry
A combination of surface, antibacterial and emulsifying activities makes biosurfactants a universal solution for many oil and gas industry problems and processes:
- Enhanced oil recovery
- Paraffin liquefaction
- Paraffin/asphalt deposit control
- Oil viscosity reduction
- Demulsification of emulsions
- Hydrates inhibition
- Corrosion inhibition
- Descaling
- Fracking
- Lubrication of drilling equipment
- Cleaning of oil tanks
- Prevention of SRB and other bacteria growth
Agriculture
A combination of surface, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and emulsifying activities makes biosurfactants a universal solution for many agriculture problems and processes:
- Biopesticides
- Biofertilizers
- Enhancers of nutrient absorption
- Treatments for saline, heavy, dry, and contaminated soils
- Water retention
- Protection of soil from erosion
- Washing of soil from pollutants
Solutions for Climate Change and Pollution Problems
Once having induced life emergence, biosurfactants can help restore natural balance nature on our planet:
- Treatment of plants to enhance carbon sequestration to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide
- Treatment of pastures and animal feed to inhibit methanogenic bacteria and methane production
- Replacement of nitrate fertilizers with biosurfactants to reduce nitrous oxide production
- Bioremediation of polluted waters and soils
- Treatment of landfills, sewage and water waste to reduce methane production
Personal Care and Cosmetic Products
A combination of surface, antimicrobial, emulsifying, skin improving and moisturizing activities makes biosurfactants universal solution for many skin and hair problems:
- Anti-aging, moisturizing creams, lotions and emollients
- Treatment for skin diseases (eczema, psoriasis, acne, etc.)
- Treatment of traumatized and post-traumatized skin (burns, wounds, scars, etc.)
- Anti-dandruff and hair growth stimulating shampoo
- Additive to all types of cosmetic products (lipsticks, mascara, foundation, etc.)
- Soaps, body and face wash, hand sanitizers
- Products for oral cavity care (toothpaste, mouthwash)
Detergents and Cleansers
A combination of surface, antimicrobial, detergent and emulsifying activities allows biosurfactants to enhance all types of cleansers and detergents:
- Antimicrobial soaps
- Sanitizers for surfaces
- Foaming/co-foaming or anti-foaming agents
- Emulsifiers
- Laundry detergent
- Dish wash,
- Car wash
- Grease removals
- Other HI&I cleansers
Livestock and Pet Husbandry
A combination of surface, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral activities allows biosurfactants to enhance the health of animals and quality of meat produced from livestock:
- Antibacteral/antiviral/antifungal treatment of animals and facilities
- Enhanced adsorption of nutrients from food
- Anti-nematode treatment
- Immune modulation
- Treatment of animals’ fur and wool
- Sanitation
Food Industry
A combination of surface, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and emulsifying activities allows biosurfactants to improve food quality:
- Emulsifiers
- Preservatives
- Improvement of products texture
- Food with anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties
- Food with improved adsorption in the gut
- Rehydrating drinks
- Treatment of cooking and packaging surfaces to prevent contamination
- Plastic for food packaging with antimicrobial effect
