HRC (Hydrocarbon Remediation Culture) - Biodegradable Hard Surface Cleaner and Biostimulant

HRC is a proprietary blend of bacterial cultures specifically designed to degrade the light-distilled oil fractions, as well as the heavier fractions of hydrocarbons normally associated with #4, #5, and #6 fuel oils, crude oil and coal tar.  HRC cultures are not genetically engineered.  These cultures are naturally occurring, selectively adapted, and tolerant of high contaminant concentrations.

Features

  • Decontaminates soil and ground water containing hydrocarbons resulting from leaking underground storage tanks, transfer line leaks, and spills
  • Eliminates or reduces further environmental damage through biodegradation of contaminant plume
  • Rapidly degrades all major organic components of #4, #5, and #6 fuel oils, crude oil and coal tar
  • Can tolerate petroleum concentrations inhibitory to many indigenous populations
  • Eliminates future liability risks associated with offsite disposal
  • Remediate with minimal site disruption
  • Provides a natural and ecologically sound approach to remediation
  • Improves degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in biological waste water treatment systems

Optimum Conditions for Use

Bacteria in HRC perform within a pH range of 6.0 - 9.0, with the optimum typically near 7.0. Wastewater temperature affects activity, with an approximate doubling in maximum growth rate for each 18°F (10°C) increase in temperature to an approximate upper limit of 104°F (40°C), unless otherwise indicated. Very low activity can be expected below 41°F (5°C).

Storage and Handling

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid inhalation. Wash hands thoroughly with warm, soapy water after contact. Avoid eye contact.
