PETROX 3 AEROBIC BIOREMEDIATION

DEGRADATION OF PHTHALATE-CONTAMINATED SOILS

Petrox 3 is a specialty bioremediation product comprised of patented strains of live vegetative aerobic microorganisms providing fast, effective degradation of large molecule organic compounds such as phthalates.

The following soil treatment demonstrates the effectiveness of PETROX 3 to treat excavated and land-farmed soils. Petrox 3 was added at a rate of approximately 1 drum per 200 tons of soil. In less than 30 days Petrox 3 reduced the phthalates significantly. The unit treatment cost is $3.75 per ton.
