• Rapidly degrades all major components of gasoline, diesel, #4, #5, & #6 fuel oils. Also degrades phthalates, ketones, various solvents, sulfur-containing compounds, alcohols, chlorinated hydrocarbons, amines, and other complex organic compounds found in refineries and chemical plant wastewater, which are toxic to naturally occurring bacteria.
• Reduces further environmental damage by degrading the contaminant plume.
• Cultures can tolerate petroleum concentrations inhibitory to many indigenous populations.
• Can tolerate up to 20.0 ppm concentration of heavy metals.
• Effective over a wide temperature range (40 to 100 F; optimum 75± 10 F)
• Effective over a wide pH range (6.0 to 8.5; optimum 7.1 ± 0.3)
• Non-toxic, non-corrosive, safe to handle and store when used as directed.

For concentrated hydrocarbon bioremediation, maintain at least 1.0 mg/l of ammonium nitrogen and 0.5 mg/l of ortho-phosphate. ALKEN® BIO-NUTRIENT 3 & 4 contain these nutrients together with micronutrients and other accelerants. The strains in this formula degrade hydrocarbons aerobically, requiring at least 1 ppm of oxygen, with 2 to 5 ppm being ideal. Hydrogen sulfide remediation can be performed both aerobically and anaerobically by this formula.

For optimum bacterial performance, hydrate ALKEN CLEAR-FLO® 7036 before application. Thoroughly mix each pound of dry product with two gallons of warm (approx.70 F) water without chlorine. Allow the mixture to hydrate for two hours, stirring vigorously every ˝ hour. See Industrial/municipal dosage charts for general application rates for lagoon or activated sludge system application. Your Alken-Murray service representative will prescribe both the initial application and the maintenance doses, based upon a number of testing parameters.

For application to spills on land or water: Alken-Murray suggests that you obtain the services of an environmental engineering firm for geological and engineering assessment and application, to ensure safety and compliance with all regulations. Dosage per cubic yard of soil contaminations is 0.5 to 0.75 lb., applied once a month, until soil is remediated. Avoid use of algaecides, herbicides, and antibiotics when using ALKEN CLEAR-FLO®. This product is safe for application to lakes and ponds where fish are grown.

Mechanical aeration is usually necessary for hydrocarbon remediation. For optimum bacterial performance, hydrate ALKEN CLEAR-FLO® 7036 before application. Avoid use of algaecides, herbicides, and antibiotics when using ALKEN CLEAR-FLO®.

ALKEN CLEAR-FLO® 7036 is packaged in 25-, 50-, and 500-pound containers. Store in a cool dry place. Avoid inhalation of dust. Wash hands with warm, soapy water after handling.
