The resulting synergism produces a product with superior bio-kinetic response, when compared with naturally occurring bacterial populations and competitive formulas. Degrades difficult compounds, such as phenol, polynuclear aromatics, various solvents, sulfur-containing compounds, alcohols, chlorinated hydrocarbons, amines, fuels, and other complex organic ompounds found in refineries and chemical plant wastewater, which are toxic to naturally occurring bacteria.
Cultures grow in either the presence or absence of oxygen.
The strains in this formula degrade hydrocarbons aerobically, requiring at least 1 ppm of oxygen, with 2 to 5 ppm being ideal. Hydrogen sulfide remediation can be performed both aerobically and anaerobically by this formula. A pH adjuster may be added to the waste stream, if necessary, to obtain the preferred pH range of 6.8 to 7.4. Your Alken-Murray service representative will prescribe both the initial application and the maintenance doses, based upon a number of testing parameters. Dosage per cubic yard of soil contaminations is 0.5 to 0.75 lb., applied once a month, until soil is remediated.
