Petrox Bioremediation of Oil-Field Waste
Petrox bioremediation of oil field wastes reduced concentrations in lagoon sludge fast. Petrox is a specialty bioremediation product comprised of patented strains of live vegetative aerobic microorganisms providing fast, effective degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons.
The oil-field pit treatment demonstrates the effectiveness of Petrox to treat oil production wastes encountered during the closure of multiple lagoons in the Southeast. Regulations required oil and grease concentrations below 1% prior to closure. Petrox reduced the petroleum to compliance levels in less than 30 days.
