This formula, which also successfully degrades alcohols, ketones, and phthalates, is usually sold under private label to environmental firms, although it is applicable to waste treatment in refineries too. Also degrades phthalates, ketones, various solvents, sulfur-containing compounds, alcohols, chlorinated hydrocarbons, amines, and other complex organic compounds found in refineries and chemical plant wastewater, which are toxic to naturally occurring bacteria. Reduces further environmental damage by degrading the contaminant plume.
Cultures can tolerate petroleum concentrations inhibitory to many indigenous populations.
Can tolerate up to 20.0 ppm concentration of heavy metals. 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.
