(COLD SPRING, KY) – Commonly used at fuel terminals and gas stations, in the metals and chemicals industries, citrus production, railroads, manufactured gas plants, and wood treatment facilities, Petrox™ from CL Solutions has been shown to deliver active, rapid aerobic bioremediation of environmental contamination caused by petroleum hydrocarbons, organic solvents, and semi-volatile hydrocarbons.
The product contains highly-concentrated solutions of live patented strains of lyophilized (freeze-dried) microscopic organisms (microbes) that occur naturally in the earth’s ecosystem. Extracted from a once-contaminated site and isolated under controlled laboratory conditions, these “hungry bacteria®” have only one purpose in life: to seek and destroy contamination at its source, and then quickly convert it into harmless, naturally recyclable by-products.
Available in three standard blends or custom formulated for specific needs, Petrox can be used as a highly effective stand-alone decontamination solution for new sites, or as a powerful augmentation to speed the remediation of existing sites. Because of its faster than average cleanup rates, Petrox remains remarkably affordable, making property redevelopment feasible for any contaminated site, industrial or commercial.
“Bioremediation helps property owners take advantage of those natural microbes that may already exist at their site,” said company Vice-President Mike Saul. “Easy to apply inoculations of Petrox boost the population of these microbes in areas designated to be reclaimed by adding billions of these microbes to the existing population, and thereby “speeding up the processes of nature.”
The product has been shown to effectively remediate gasoline, diesel and heating fuels, BTEX compounds, MEK, methylene chloride, and naphthalene (Blend #1); terpene-based solvents (Blend #2); anthracene, creosote, chlorotuluene, chrysene, cresols, pentachlorophenol, phenanthrene, as well as the pesticides 2,4-D, Endrin, and Aldrin (Blend #3). Petrox is available as a freeze-dried powder or as a concentrated liquid.
A leader in the field of bioremediation, CL Solutions rapidly and affordably bioremediates soil and groundwater contaminated with hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents. The company’s products, CL-Out™ and Petrox™, have been field-proven to work faster, work better, and cost less than other hazardous waste cleanup solutions.
