BIOREMEDIATION TECHNOLOGY

Bioremediation is the application of biological microbes for the clean-up of hazardous oil spills resulting in a safe, efficient and cost-effective solution. Bioremediation (Figure 1) uses microbes, enzymes, oxygen and other nutrients to chemically transform oil into carbon dioxide and water. BioRem-2000 Surface Cleaner™ (Figure 2) increases the surface area of the oil while the enzymes break down the contaminants into smaller molecules. The enzymes then attract the microbes (Figure 3) and consume the oil leaving only water and carbon dioxide as by-products. Once the reaction is complete, the enzymes break free to attach to another hydrocarbon source in order to repeat the same reaction.

SAFETY SOLUTIONS

BioRem-2000 Surface Cleaner™ has a pH of 7 and does not have any odor or contain any corrosives or butyls. It prevents slip-and-fall accidents, which are 30% of all workplace accidents, by removing the oily film and leaving surfaces dry and oil-free. BioRem-2000 Surface Cleaner™ significantly reduces the ability of flammable hydrocarbons to ignite, eliminating the VOC's and LEL’s which are inert on contact.

USES AND APPLICATIONS

Mopping: Fill the container with properly-diluted product. Unlike degreasers, it digests oil and grease. As a result, there will not be an oily film in the water of the mop bucket. Degreasers only emulsify the oil and grease and “re-grease” the floors leaving a slick, oily film on the surface. For best results, with oily floors or visible oil, allow the solution to remain on the surface for about 30 seconds before mopping. Liberally apply to floor with a wet mop, dip mop again into bucket and agitate solution into surface. If the grease and oil is thick, use a deck brush to scrub the solution into the surface before mopping. BioRem-2000 Surface Cleaner™ will remove the oily film and leave the surface dry and clean preventing slip-and-fall accidents.

Auto Floor Scrubber: Fill scrubber with properly-diluted product. Start with a 1:25 dilution rate and adjust after testing. For best results, employ the double-scrub method. For the first auto floor scrubber pass, do not lower the squeegee. Spray solution while scrubbing. For the second pass, spray solution, scrub and lower squeegee for soiled water removal. BioRem-2000 Surface Cleaner™ will clean the auto floor scrubber by removing the oil and grease build-up in the tanks, brushes and hoses caused by emulsifying degreasers. It leaves surfaces dry and oil-free without any residue and prevents slip-and-fall accidents.

Degreasing: Fill container with properly-diluted product. The dilution rate may be determined if the operator will be using rags to clean (stronger), scrub brush (medium) or rinsing with a power washer (weaker). When cleaning heavy oil/grease deposits, allow product to soak for 1-2 minutes before removing. Heavy deposits of synthetic grease may require additional dwell time. BioRem-2000 Surface Cleaner™ will remove the oily film leaving the surface dry and clean, unlike degreasers which only re-deposit or “re-grease” the surface with oil. It is safe for any water-safe surface including metals, rubber, plastic and painted surfaces.

Oil/Water Separators (”OWS”): BioRem-2000 Surface Cleaner™ improves OWS operations and reduces costs and compliance issues. Conventional degreasers emulsify oil in waste water and make OWS's ineffective allowing oil to bypass the collection system straight to the sewer. Additionally, it digests sludge and petroleum content suspended or dissolved in the OWS waste water. Facilities using BioRem-2000 Surface Cleaner™ have eliminated waste water violations and have reported reducing their sludge petroleum content by more than 80 percent.

Soil Remediation: BioRem-2000 Surface Cleaner™ can be applied to small, topical spills of hydrocarbons on soil and gravel areas. It can be applied by spraying directly onto the surface of the soil or gravel. Tilling the soil and re-spraying provides an even distribution of microbes throughout the soil, as well as providing aeration (oxygen) for the microbes. Repeated tilling accelerates the biological degradation of the soil contaminants.

Fuel Remediation: In Figure 1, shown is a 1,000 gallon underground fuel storage tank containing jet fuel residue and flammable vapors. Before this tank could be dismantled with cutting torches, the remaining fuel needed to be neutralized. Two gallons of product were applied and circulated throughout the tank. In Figure 2, the remaining jet fuel was remediated, rendering the fuel non-flammable and neutralizing any flammable vapors.

Water Treatment Solutions

Most of our products are designed to solve a specific problem or task. In designing a product, specific microbes are selected based upon their natural abilities to degrade and digest a particular organic waste. Although we offer a full array of standardized solutions, we also offer customized products for more complex waste water treatment problems. Even if we do not have a standard formulation for your problem, we can develop the best tailor-made solution for your specific needs. We specialize in the following waste water solutions:

BioRem-2000 Oil Digester™

BioRem-2000 Oil Digester™ is a complete bioremediation system that provides a safe and effective low cost alternative to off-site disposal of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils and water.

It is a mixture of naturally-occurring bacteria and enzymes coupled with adapted microbial nutrients used to bioremediate hydrocarbons in soil and ground-water. The biodegradation of petroleum-based compounds can be accomplished both in oxygen-rich (aerobic) and in oxygen-poor (anaerobic) environments.

The microbes bond to petroleum molecules and begin secreting a rich mixture of extracellular enzymes capable of initiating and catalyzing the breakdown of a wide variety of petroleum compounds into more water- soluble, digestible materials. These materials are subsequently absorbed through the microbes’ cell wall and digested further into carbon dioxide and water.

BioRem-2000 Oil Digester™ contains organic Nano Technology to break down the adsorption of petroleum onto soil particles. This allows the microbes to move more freely through the soil pores where a less mobile microbial community lives. The Nano Technology breaks down macroscopic clumps of petroleum into smaller units which increases the surface area and also helps the microbes to migrate through the soil matrix more easily.

BioRem-2000 Oil Digester™ is capable of remediating BTEX, Naphthalene, MTBE, coal tar, and other hydrocarbon-based contamination.
