Key 2 Ag is the first completely natural product that performs equal to, or better than, artificial fertilisers in terms of yield, performance and price.  However, it produces crops with far higher nutritional content than is possible with artificial fertilisers.  Key 2 Ag is what our entire planet grew from originally, before mankind existed.

Key 2 Ag also remediates contaminated land/soil, replenishes soil fertility, stimulates biological activity in soils and is a natural wetting agent.  It is a whole product with high organic carbon content that contains every organic nutrient, vitamin and mineral required to give and sustain the life and fertility of soil.  All these elements are vital to produce optimum yield and nutrition in all plants and vegetation which in turn also provides optimum nutrition to the immune and health system of animals and humans.

What is this Product Created by Nature?

It is called lignite which is formed from peat deposits over many thousands of years during which time natural chemical reactions occur and moisture is squeezed out of the peat. 

Key 2 Ag is the product of subjecting lignite to a mechanical process that liberates the humic contents so that all of their precious, life-giving nutrients yield immediately when they are added to soil.

The result is a world first product that out-performs any artificial/chemical fertiliser by itself.  However, when used in conjunction with artificial/chemical fertilisers it increases their efficiency.

 Why does the natural material need to be processed?

During the formation of humus/humic substances they become strongly bound to the carbon skeleton (substrate) in which they were created by the formation of a long-chain molecular structure.  A consequence of these symbiotic reactions is that the valuable contents of these materials, known as humic substances, become locked in the substrate and are then only released slowly by Nature over hundreds of years.  Accordingly the amount of humic substances immediately available from mined, raw lignite is less than 1% under good conditions.

 The Key to unlocking the humic substance content so that it becomes immediately available is in the proprietary process developed by the Key 2 Group.  When lignite is subjected to this process the full compliment of dormant humic substances is liberated and become immediately bioavailable.  This is the secret of Key 2 Ag.

 What is the Process?

The process utilises patented apparatus and proprietary know-how to alter the long-chain molecular structure that binds humic substances to the carbon substrate.  The function of the apparatus is described as ‘aeroacoustics’ (acoustic shock), which is a combination of air pressure, vacuum, aerodynamics and sound waves.

 The process liberates moisture from the voids within the lignite substrate which in turn the apparatus converts to a unique atmosphere of oxygens and hydrogen.  When lignite is subjected to such conditions its contents are liberated with no loss of efficacy.

The dilemma of liberating humic substances from their bonds without any negative affect whatsoever has been resolved by the founders of Key 2 by developing a novel approach to a field of study known as “aeroacoustics”.  They devised an apparatus that incorporates air pressure, vacuum, aerodynamics and sound waves to create unique atmospheric conditions that can have a physical effect on solid and fluid materials that are exposed to it.  

Remarkably the process occurs without any physical contact between the apparatus and the introduced material.  During the process moisture is released from the voids in the substrate of the raw material from which a high oxygen and hydrogen atmosphere is created to which the remaining organic compounds are exposed.  This results in the liberation of all the contents of the raw material without causing any negative effect whatsoever.  This process does not require artificial chemicals, catalysts or modification agents so the output remains organic.

Key 2 Ag is the result of subjecting organic lignite to this ingenious process technology that liberates 100% of the dormant humic substances previously locked by long-chain molecular bonds, to make them immediately bio-available.  Accordingly Key 2 Ag is the richest natural source of organic humic substances presently known.

The fact is that there is very little large-scale bio-remediation occurring in Australia and other countries throughout the world.  The majority of what is termed “bio-remediation” consists of removing contaminated soil, dumping it at another location and replacing it with fresh soil from an uncontaminated area.  Obviously this is not remediation of any kind, it is simply moving the problem from one place to another.

These practices have resulted in vast mountains of contaminated soil being stored within the metropolitan areas.  The logic behind this ecologically harmful practice is to reduce the cost of transporting it further away.

Another of these practices is to bury or hide vast amounts of contaminated soil in locations approved by the governments and/or the Environmental Protection Agencies for this purpose.  Although containment measures, for example, plastic liners and dam walls are implemented, it is only a matter of time before the contaminants make their way into the water tables and head towards the ocean via our rivers.  Even in the early stages when the liners are in tact there are flood events that cause these dams to overflow causing contaminants to spill outside the containment area.

Most of these contaminants can be completely remediated by nature. Key 2 Bio is the natural solution.

Key 2 Group produces two organic bioremediation products with the same remediation capabilities, the only difference between them is that one is hydrophilic and the other is hydrophobic, so more efficient in water environments.

These products are highly effective for the capture, removal, clean up and/or remediation of most forms of pollution and toxic waste including hydrocarbon gases and oils, greenhouse gases, heavy metals, radionuclides and PCBs.  After application, there is no need for further treatment or impounding.  Contaminants are either broken down by natural degradation into plant food or into benign or beneficial organic compounds which may be put safely back into the ground, or remain in the ground as high-quality fertiliser, or they will be negated so as to cause no further contamination.

Key 2 Bio is produced as a powder that may be used as media in air filtration systems to absorb gas emissions, and can also be applied directly onto oil and toxic spills on land or water.  It performs by sorption (absorption, adsorption) and ion exchange.  The products also significantly stimulate biological activity.

When contaminants are sorbed into these products, compounds (nitrites, nitrates, ammonia), greenhouse gases, poisons and toxic materials, will not leach.  Generally hydrocarbons will be converted into sugars, fatty acids and amino acids (plant food).  Compounds are converted into soil constituents and plant & animal proteins.  Oil-spill areas can be remediated within weeks instead of many decades.  PCBs can be safely converted into benign organic compounds, heavy metal and radionuclide contamination can be negated by ion exchange so as to cause no further harm.  Depleted, poisoned and toxic lands can be re-vitalised to contain productive, living, fertile soils.

Key 2 products make it possible to dispense with the use of expensive and dangerous chemical agents and other hazardous methods used to treat, cover or disperse contamination on land and water.  They have the ability to bioremediate or biodegrade most of the pollution and contamination that exists in the world today.

What the availability of these products means in practical terms is that poisonous/toxic gas emissions from industry polluters can be captured and converted into benign or beneficial matter and put safely back into the ground as high-quality fertiliser or as bio-available plant nutrients.  For the very first time “Ground to Ground Recycling” will be a reality.

Key 2 Bio has been tested and certified by regulatory authorities, including the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority as a bioremediation agent for use on oil spills.
