Petroleum Treat (PT) is a high-CFU blend of petroleum-degrading bacteria for wastewater treatment and petroleum-contaminated soil bioremediation. Designed for the petrochemical, industrial, and environmental remediation sectors, PT accelerates the breakdown of aliphatics, aromatics (including PAHs), petroleum distillates, lubricating oils, and fats, oils, and greases (FOG). Natural biosurfactants and broad-spectrum enzymes increase hydrocarbon bioavailability for faster, more complete degradation. PT delivers consistent results in both wastewater and soil applications, improving stability, reducing TPH, and cutting remediation timelines even under variable field conditions.

  • High-CFU Performance: consistent microbial activity in wastewater and soil remediation
  • Broad Contaminant Coverage: diesel, gasoline, kerosene, heating oil, jet fuel, lubricating oils, and PAHs
  • Biosurfactant & Enzyme Production: improves hydrocarbon bioavailability for faster breakdown
  • Proven in Multiple Systems: effective in refinery, petrochemical, and industrial operations including API/CPI separators, DAF/IGF units, aeration basins, clarifiers, lift stations, stormwater, and soils
  • Consistent in Harsh Conditions: performs under variable pH, temperature, and hydrocarbon loads
  • Flexible Formats: available in powder, liquid, block, and tablet

Petroleum Treat (PT) contains multiple strains of hydrocarbon degrading bacteria for wastewater and petroleum-contaminated soils. PT microbes produce biosurfactants and enzymes that make hydrocarbons more bioavailable, accelerating the breakdown of aliphatics, aromatics, and PAHs.

In wastewater systems, PT boosts biological performance downstream of oil–water separation, enhancing hydrocarbon removal and maintaining degradation even under fluctuating flow, pH, and temperature. For soils, it accelerates cleanup in landfarming, biopiles, and in situ treatments by improving microbial colonization and hydrocarbon bioavailability.

The formulation’s spore-forming stability ensures reliable field performance. Available in powder, liquid, block, and tablet forms, PT is supplied in bulk, wholesale, or private-label packaging for distributors, OEM product developers, and remediation service providers.


Enhances Petroleum Wastewater Treatment

PT delivers consistent results in petroleum-contaminated systems. Its specialized microbial consortium accelerates hydrocarbon breakdown, helping facilities lower O&G, COD, and TPH while maintaining discharge compliance.

  • Improves treatment stability and efficiency in refinery, petrochemical, and industrial systems
  • Performs under variable flow, pH, and temperature conditions
  • Speeds recovery after process upsets, reducing downtime and compliance risks

Accelerates Soil Bioremediation

PT provides high-activity bacteria for soil with hydrocarbon contamination, enabling faster cleanup and reducing time to regulatory closure.

  • Speeds remediation in landfarming, biopiles, windrows, and in situ projects
  • Increases hydrocarbon bioavailability for sustained degradation until contaminants are fully broken down
  • Cuts reliance on excavation and disposal, lowering total project costs

Reduces Operational and Disposal Costs

PT improves microbial efficiency, delivering measurable return on investment by reducing project costs.

  • Shortens project timelines through faster hydrocarbon degradation
  • Lowers reliance on chemical inputs by enhancing natural biological performance
  • Reduces hauling and disposal volumes to cut landfill and transportation costs

Improves Process Stability and Resilience

PT maintains consistent degradation performance under variable environmental and loading conditions.

  • Performs reliably in both aerobic and anaerobic systems
  • Tolerates fluctuating conditions without loss of performance
  • Rapidly re-establishes microbial activity after disruptions

Applications

  • Wastewater Systems (API/CPI, DAF/IGF, aeration, activated sludge, lagoons, clarifiers, FWKO, hydrocyclones, flotation, polishing)
  • Industrial Facilities (wash racks, bays, sumps, airports, railyards, ports, terminals, fleet yards)
  • Collection Systems (lift stations, wet wells, EQ basins)
  • Stormwater & Runoff (MS4, bioretention, bioswales, media filters)
  • Soil & Groundwater Remediation (landfarming, biopiles, windrows, compost, in situ bioremediation, bioreactors)
  • Spill Response (post-spill soil/shoreline cleanup)
  • OEM & Private Label (cleaners, degreasers, formulations)
