can urease enzyme be added to urine to speed up the hydrolysis of urea in urine? - Aquaponic Gardening2024-03-28T10:13:52Zhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/forum/topics/can-urease-enzyme-be-added-to-urine-to-speed-up-the-hydrolysis-of?groupUrl=fish-less-systems&commentId=4778851%3AComment%3A594097&groupId=4778851%3AGroup%3A283435&feed=yes&xn_auth=noThat's great info Vlad, thank…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2015-01-24:4778851:Comment:5942512015-01-24T17:59:07.819ZGene Parbsthttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/GeneParbst
<p>That's great info Vlad, thanks for helping beginners like me. I'm making my first batch of humonia, so when that's finished I'll use some of that to speed up the following batches. I have leftover KOH flakes from when I tried doing HOH to increase gas mileage like 10 years ago, so that's handy! I burn wood for heating and have lots of wood ashes. I throw some of them in the compost to boost the potassium.</p>

<p>You don't have to go through any of that trouble...simply add some aged humonia (10-20%) to the fresh urine. That's all you need to do. Within a few days time, the fresh stuff will have hydrolysed.</p>
<p></p>
<p>You can also raise the pH of the fresh stuff to over 9 and it with result in the same thing...</p>
<p>Potassium hydroxide seemed to work best for this. You can either purchase potassium hydroxide (KOH), or simply make it yourself with ashes and rainwater. It's really simple to make.…</p>

Before I came to the States last year, used to heat my house with wood, so I always had lots of ashes around from hardwood trees...just don't use anything that's galvanized, (like a bucket) or made from aluminum...and your good.</p>
<p>Now that I'm on the natural gas, I had to resort to buying a case of KOH flakes...</p>
