Specification :
Absorbs, encapsulates and bioremediates hydrocarbon liquids. Contains essential microbes, appropriate nutrients and a carrier matrix for ensuring rapid biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. Manufactured from a natural, recycled waste product from the cotton industry.
DESCRIPTION
Enretech-1 is a dual purpose oil/ fuel absorbent and bioremediation agent for use on direct spills or on hydrocarbon contaminated soil. The product contains naturally occurring bacteria commonly found in oil bearing plants and common soils. When given a hydrocarbon food source and kept moist, the bacteria propagate rapidly within the fibres and break down the soil contaminant into its non-harmful constituents.
APPLICATION
Enretech-1 is applied by blending the dry absorbent carrying the micro-organisms with the contaminated soil as thoroughly as possible. Once the hydrocarbon comes in contact with Enretech-1, it will be absorbed and encapsulated by the fibrous active sites. Enretech-1 is dispersed by tilling and there is no requirement for washing, milling or surfactant addition.
Enretech-1 has been used successfully to clean up many sites. To-date, over 40 recorded projects, conducted in a variety of countries ( including Australia) , show an average reduction in total hydrocarbons ( TPH) of 82% in 77 days.
Most of these remediation projects involved soil contaminated with common petroleum hydrocarbons such as diesel and sump oils. However, Enretech-1 has also proven effective in the in-situ bioremediation of transformer ( mineral) oils and has also been shown to bioremediate some PAHs ( depending on ring structure)
and even synthetic compounds. The Enretech-1 technology can be applied in both in-situ and ex-situ situations, but is most effective for use in emergency land-based hydrocarbon spills where conventional remediation treatments are not practical due to environmental sensitivities or remoteness.
ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS
The bacteria in Enretech-1 are common, well-known oil degraders. Using embedded nutrients in the fibrous matrix, the bacteria ( and other micro-organisms) cause a rapid bioremediation of the contaminant compounds. Supplementary nitrogen addition is not usually required, except in heavily contaminated soils.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
* Enretech-1 will not decompose until it has bioremediated the encapsulated hydrocarbons.
* Absorbs up to 3x its weight in oil based products.
* Rapid encapsulation and immobilisation eliminates leaching of hydrocarbon.
* Safe and simple to use - requires no special training and crews are not required to be expert personnel.
* Enretech-1 is non-toxic, non-abrasive, noncarcinogenic and non-volatile.
* Produced from a recycled, natural and renewable resource.
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
A generic application protocol is available upon request. However, as every bioremediation project is unique, Enretech will work with the client to ensure the most suitable application protocol for a rapid, cost effective and complete site remediation.Description Enretech-1 is a dual purpose oil/ fuel absorbent and bioremediation agent for use on direct spills or on hydrocarbon contaminated soil.
