What OrganoCat does
OrganoCat, LLC is a privately-held green science and engineering company headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The firm develops and commercializes a portfolio of technologies built around its Active Humic Compounds platform, addressing soil restoration, agricultural productivity, water treatment, environmental remediation, and industrial fluid processing. The company operates with 1–10 employees and runs an R&D-led, open-innovation model, generating revenue through technology licensing, custom product sales, and direct partnership engagements with enterprise clients.
OrganoCat's technology stack spans three families: organic biopolymers (3D Scavenger, ActivHume, FLORIS, NutraHume), electro-chemical systems (Active Ion Generator, currently in lab-scale phase), and electro-physical systems (VibroChem). 3D Scavenger is an organic-mineral reagent designed to bind hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and broad-spectrum industrial contaminants. VibroChem applies low-frequency acoustic waves to mix, separate, and homogenize viscous fluids at reported energy consumption of 20–30 kWh per ton, with throughput scalable to approximately 50 t/hour. The Active Ion Generator produces chemically active ions via reduction, oxidation, absorption, and coagulation processes. Agricultural inputs (ActivHume, ActivHume-S, FLORIS, NutraHume) are OMRI-listed for organic production, and several products are patent-pending. Chief Scientist Dr. Alexander Shulgin holds over 50 patents and 140+ scientific publications, with prior applied experience spanning Chernobyl-related environmental remediation and post-Hurricane-Rita soil cleanup work.
The go-to-market is enterprise-driven: sales-led and field-sales outreach to global industry leaders, coordinated entirely through the Louisville office. Pricing is fully custom and quote-based, with no public price list disclosed. Distribution relies on direct engagement via phone and contact forms, supplemented by case-study content published on organocat.com and outbound partnership outreach. Disclosed customer engagements concentrate in oil-and-gas water treatment — most notably a 2011 SAGD blowdown-water contract with one of the world's largest oil companies continued into a Phase 2 engagement in 2014 — and in contaminated-site remediation work. No external funding, M&A activity, or AI/ML capability signals appear in the available data.

Products and services
- ActivHume Patent-pending water-soluble dry granule that uses Active Humic Compounds to repair soil degraded by chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. Stimulates microbial activity and root growth biologically, rebuilds soil structure geologically, and increases cation exchange capacity chemically. Listed by OMRI for organic production.
- ActivHume-S Dry granule combining patent-pending ActivHume with bioactive sulfur in three forms (elemental sulfur, polysulfide, and thiosulfate) for synergetic soil-health benefits and time-released sulfur plant nutrition. Does not acidify soil like traditional sulfur fertilizers. Listed by OMRI.
- FLORIS Liquid catalytic extract that works with common fertilizers to build and strengthen the soil's natural bio-cycle. Pure formulation designed not to clog nozzles, for foliar and in-furrow application. Listed by OMRI for organic use.
- NutraHume Patent-pending nitrogen fertilizer combining non-cationic Active Humics with 23% buffered and stabilized nitrogen. Functions as nitrogen fertilizer, soil conditioner and ameliorant for foliar spray and irrigation water injection; reduces 25–50% of nitrogen loss from volatilization and leaching.
- 3D Scavenger Organic-mineral reagent with volumetric molecules containing active cation/anion sites, chelate and complex-forming groups, hydrophobic/hydrophilic edges, and biologically active functional groups. Treats organic and mineral contaminants (soluble/insoluble, charged, oxidized/reduced) in SAGD oil sands, cement grey water, egg wash water, cutting/building waste water, heavy-metal and municipal wastewater.
- Active Ion Generator (AIG) Electro-dynamic device with footprint, scalability and energy consumption comparable to a pump. Generates catalytically, biologically and chemically active ions via reduction, oxidation, absorption, and coagulation processes for batch or inline treatment of TCE, PCB, PAH, crude oil hydrocarbons, SAGD process and blowdown water, frac water, and grey waters. Lab-scale available.
- VibroChem Vibro-acoustical technology using low-frequency acoustic waves for treatment of viscous and heavy liquids at throughputs of 100–200 kg/min (batch or continuous), scalable to ~50 t/hour. Energy consumption ~20–30 kWh/ton, residence time 1–15 min. Replaces some chemicals and catalysts in mixing, separation, homogenizing and extraction of fluidic materials. Built of food-grade stainless steel.
