BioRemove™ HC
BioRemove™ HC is the most effective biological product for hydrocarbon reduction. It's a blend of microorganisms developed for petroleum refining and petrochemical plants. It reduces hydrocarbon-related filament outbreaks in their wastewater systems. It suitable for use at system start-up and also improves system stability and efficiency while lowering operating costs.
Target industries: Refining & Petrochemical
Hydrocarbons cause a range of problems in petroleum refining and petrochemical wastewater systems. These include filamentous outbreaks as well as increased oil and grease in the final effluent. BioRemove™ HC degrades hydrocarbons including alkanes and aromatic compounds. That reduces hydrocarbon-related upsets and filament outbreaks, as well as settling problems. It also allows you to reduce your permit violations for oil and grease as well as your surcharges.
Effectively degrades hard COD
High levels of recalcitrant organics can be difficult to remove and increase COD. That leads to a range of problems for your plant. This product effectively degrades hard COD to improve your plant's effluent quality.
Removes surfactants
Surfactant-related upsets impact your plants stability. This product helps protect your system from this instability and simplify operations. It can also help you reduce permit violations and surcharges for surfactants.
Removes hydrocarbon
At high concentrations, hydrocarbons like alkanes and aromatic compounds cause a range of problems in your plant. These include settling problems, biomass toxicity and effluent toxicity. By degrading hydrocarbons, this product helps your plant avoid such problems.
Removes phenol
Phenols and related aromatic hydrocarbons are common in refining and petrochemical wastewater. They're highly toxic to biological treatment systems and can significantly inhibit activity. Phenol can also cause permit violations and effluent toxicity. This product can degrade phenolic compounds to avoid these problems and give your plant a higher quality effluent.
