Microbial Hydrocarbon Degrader

Description

BIOTEK 43 has been specifically formulated for oil field and refinery wastes. BIOTEK 43 can be used in waste treatment systems, oil sludge farming operations and spill clean-up situations. BIOTEK 43 is designed to deal with wastes resulting from pumping, distilling, fractionation, alkylation and polymerization processes where wastes are usually of large volume containing high suspended and dissolved solids, surfactants, oil, wax, sulfides, mercaptans, phenolic compounds, cresylates, and other hydrocarbon based compounds. Cyanides are biologically removed from solution.

BIOTEK 43 is a formulation of adapted microbes and biochemical accelerators. The unique combination of cultures in BIOTEK 43 rapidly degrades various hydrocarbons and organic chemicals which may be toxic, inhibitory or bioresistant to natural microbial populations. Destabilization of biological systems such as changes in incoming waste concentrations, composition of waste, pH, temperature and nutrient level can be mitigated with the regular addition of BIOTEK 43 to the wastewater and waste disposal systems. The microbial protoplasm produced is a biodegradeable source of food for higher life forms.


Application

Specific application rates are dependent on waste composition. Testing of a sample of the waste stream will determine application rate. For optimal results the wastewater treatment system should meet the following conditions:


OPTIMUM MINIMUM MAXIMUM
Influent pH 7.0 6.0 9.0
Dissolved Oxygen, ppm 2.0+ 1.0 ----
C/N/P ratio 100/10/1 100/5/1 100/20/1
Temperature, C degrees 30 (86 F) 10(50 F) 40(104 F)
Toxic metals, ppm
(IE:, hex, chromium)
