SCD ScentGuard Questions

SCD ScentGuard inhibits unpleasant odors commonly found in industrial, livestock, composting, waste-treatment facilities, and/or household environments. It also improves overall surrounding air quality, achieves targeted reductions in odor-control quality parameters, and controls livestock odors.

SCD ScentGuard is a concentrate and should be used as directed. Please check the product's usage guide for industrial, commercial, and livestock applications.

SCD ScentGuard is an all-natural, environmentally friendly odor reducer. On the other hand, SCD Bio KleanTM is an all-natural, industrial-strength cleaner, containing powerful microbes and their metabolites, that breaks down grease, grime, and dirt.

The microorganisms in the product outcompetes other bacteria in a natural fermentation, as they can withstand the increased acidity from organic-acid production. Some of the microorganisms in the product are heterotrophic bacteria, meaning they use organic substrates to get carbon for their growth and development. When there is no organic nitrogen source in a system, heterotrophic bacteria utilize ammonia and break it down into less harmful compounds, which are not putrefactive. The ability of some SCD Technology species to use hydrogen sulfide, which is toxic and converts it into nonpoisonous compounds, is very beneficial in the odor-control industry.

Each strain used in SCD Probiotics products doesn’t contain genetically modified organisms (non-GMOs), has a long history of safe applications, and belongs to a species for which no pathogenic strains are known. These selected strains are grown and, all the while, multiplying in a process of co-growth used to develop a beneficial microbial consortium. SCD Probiotics products maintain their guaranteed viable cell numbers under a wide range of temperature range, from 5 - 50 °C (41 - 122 °F). As a result, SCD Probiotics products do not require refrigerated storage and handling. Moreover, low temperature, including freezing point do not have a significant effect on the survival rate of SCD Probiotics cultures inside SCD Probiotics products.

Antimicrobial efficacy: SCD Probiotics products have the potential to be used to control unfriendly microorganisms that harm human health, to cause plant and animal diseases, and to concern safety issues in food service systems and that of global environment.(See document “The Magic behind SCD Probiotics: It is All about Friendly Microorganisms” as a scientific reference.).

Please contact the SCD Technical team for advice on usage applications/protocols if you have problems other than odor e.g. sludge build-up, cost efficiency concerns, etc.
