Recommended for application to heavy end petroleum distillates. Reduces further environmental damage by degrading the contaminant plume.
Cultures can tolerate diesel 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. Include a small amount of the target waste to be treated. Allow the mixture to hydrate for two hours, stirring vigorously every half hour. A pH adjuster may be added to the waste stream, if necessary, to obtain the preferred pH range.
