Advanced BioCatalytics Corp

Advanced BioCatalytics Corporation (ABC) is an industrial biotechnology company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Irvine, California, specializing in biosurfactant technology for water treatment and other sectors. The company's core platform is the patented Protein-Surfactant Complex (PSC), which forms complexes between proteins and surfactants to enhance performance, reduce interfacial tension, and lower critical micelle concentration. ABC has filed 38 patents covering compositions and methods for enhancing biosurfactant efficiency, colloidal chemistry, and fluid dynamics. Their primary water and wastewater product is Accell Water, applied in municipal wastewater treatment plants, sewer and collection systems, septic tanks, and pond and lake treatment. Accell Clean Marine is an IMO-approved ship cleaner safe for discharge at sea, designed for chemical tankers with epoxy-lined or zinc-coated tanks. The company also produces Fermactants, fermentation-derived surfactants that received EPA Safer Choice Approval as ultra-green alternatives to petrochemical and plant-based surfactants, manufactured by fermenting microorganisms using waste cooking oil as feedstock. Additional products include PSC Frac1 hydraulic fracturing stimulation fluid and SWIFT Wet Model 100 protein surfactant soil wetting agent. ABC received BP Ventures funding in 2016 and has launched proprietary Asset Recovery and Remediation AI analytics software. The company emphasizes carbon-negative manufacturing and 100% marine-friendly formulations.
