Petroleum Treat (PT) is a high-CFU blend of oil-eating, petroleum-degrading bacteria for hydrocarbon wastewater treatment and petroleum-contaminated soil bioremediation. Built for refineries, petrochemical and oil and gas facilities, and environmental remediation projects, PT produces natural biosurfactants and broad-spectrum enzymes that make hydrocarbons more bioavailable, so it breaks down aliphatics, aromatics (including PAHs), petroleum distillates, lubricating oils, and fats, oils, and greases (FOG). The numbers above are real field results, including the 97% soil TPH reduction PT delivered in an on-site windrow project.
Petroleum Treat (PT) contains multiple strains of oil-eating, hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria for petroleum wastewater and petroleum-contaminated soils. The strains produce biosurfactants and enzymes that make hydrocarbons more bioavailable, accelerating the breakdown of aliphatics, aromatics, long-chain hydrocarbons, and PAHs. Because the process is biological, the bacteria need moisture, oxygen, and time to work, and they keep degrading contaminants under fluctuating flow, pH, and temperature.
In wastewater systems, PT boosts biological performance downstream of oil-water separation, improving hydrocarbon removal and lowering oil and grease (O&G), COD, and TPH. For soils, it accelerates cleanup in landfarming, biopiles, windrows, and in situ treatments by improving microbial colonization and hydrocarbon bioavailability. Its spore-forming stability gives reliable field performance, and PT is supplied in bulk, wholesale, or private-label packaging for distributors, OEM product developers, and remediation service providers.
PT accelerates hydrocarbon breakdown in petroleum-loaded systems, helping facilities lower O&G, COD, and TPH while holding discharge compliance. At a municipal oil-water separator serving 29 automotive garages, continuous-feed PT took TPH from 22,940 mg/L to 79 mg/L, meeting the 100 mg/L city discharge limit and eliminating routine pump-outs.
PT provides high-activity bacteria for hydrocarbon-contaminated soil, enabling faster cleanup and shorter time to regulatory closure. In an on-site windrow program, PT cut soil TPH (C10-C40) from about 20,000 ppm to 650 ppm, a 97% reduction, and oil and grease from 1,100 to 45 mg/kg, a 96% reduction, with treated soil returned on site and no off-site hauling.
In a head-to-head soil trial, PT was compared against two competing microbial products under matched conditions. PT reduced every hydrocarbon fraction faster, cutting the difficult heavy C37-40 fraction 73% in 15 days versus 55% and 39% for the other products, and it eliminated petroleum odors within the first 8 days. That performance on the most recalcitrant fractions is what shortens cleanup timelines on high-TPH sites.
PT delivers measurable return by degrading hydrocarbons on site instead of hauling them away. At the municipal oil-water separator, biological treatment cut annual pumping and disposal costs from about $16,000 to $1,200 while sustaining compliance.
PT maintains consistent degradation under changing environmental and loading conditions.
Petroleum Treat (PT) is a high-CFU choice for both hydrocarbon-contaminated wastewater treatment and petroleum-contaminated soil bioremediation, available in bulk, wholesale, OEM, and private-label formats for remediation contractors, refineries, industrial facilities, and product formulators.

Petroleum Treat (PT) is a high-CFU blend of oil-eating, petroleum-degrading bacteria for hydrocarbon wastewater and petroleum-contaminated soil. The strains produce biosurfactants and enzymes that make hydrocarbons more bioavailable, so they break down aliphatics, aromatics, PAHs, lubricating oils, and FOG. PT works in aerobic and facultative systems and needs moisture to stay active.
PT strains are selected for petroleum hydrocarbons, so they degrade aliphatics, aromatics, long-chain hydrocarbons, and PAHs that generic blends leave behind. In a head-to-head soil trial, PT beat two competing products on every fraction, cutting the toughest heavy C37-40 hydrocarbons 73% in 15 days versus 55% and 39%. You buy it direct from the manufacturer.
Yes. In wastewater it degrades hydrocarbons downstream of oil-water separation and lowers O&G, COD, and TPH; a municipal separator dropped from 22,940 to 79 mg/L into compliance. In soil it speeds landfarming, biopiles, windrows, and in situ cleanup; an on-site windrow project cut TPH 97%.
PT fits refineries, petrochemical and oil and gas facilities, industrial sites with oily wastewater, and projects with petroleum-contaminated soil. It performs under variable pH, temperature, and load. Send us your hydrocarbon levels and system and we will recommend a starting dose.
PT uses naturally occurring, non-GMO bacteria and is not a registered pesticide. Used as directed, it is safe for wastewater infrastructure, soils, and downstream water, and it makes no pesticidal or disease-control claims. It degrades hydrocarbons biologically rather than with harsh chemicals.
Yes. PT reduces O&G, COD, and TPH while boosting biological activity in API/CPI separators, DAF/IGF units, aeration basins, and clarifiers at refineries and petrochemical plants. It holds performance under variable flow, pH, and temperature and recovers quickly after upsets.
PT shortens project timelines, cuts chemical use, and reduces hauling and disposal by degrading hydrocarbons on site. At a municipal oil-water separator, biological treatment cut annual pumping and disposal costs from about $16,000 to $1,200 while holding the 100 mg/L discharge limit.
Soil dosing runs about 7 to 13.5 grams per cubic meter or cubic yard based on hydrocarbon load, with a follow-up at half rate. Wastewater dosing is metered by flow and PPM. Keep the material moist and oxygenated so the bacteria stay active. Full rate tables are in the application section on this page.
It depends on hydrocarbon load, temperature, moisture, and oxygen. PT works fast on lighter fractions; odors dropped within 8 days in one soil trial and heavy hydrocarbons fell 73% in 15 days. Full soil cleanups run weeks to months, and a municipal separator reached compliance by day 120.
PT digests diesel, gasoline, and oil in moist soil, biopiles, and water systems, and it works best when the bacteria have moisture, oxygen, and time. It is not a surface degreaser or stain remover, so it will not lift a dried spill off concrete. For spill-impacted soil or water, PT accelerates hydrocarbon breakdown; ask us for a dosing plan.
Yes. PT supplies high-CFU soil bioremediation bacteria that break down diesel, gasoline, PAHs, and long-chain hydrocarbons for faster site closure. In an on-site windrow project, PT cut soil TPH from about 20,000 ppm to 650 ppm (97%) and oil and grease by 96%, with no off-site hauling.
Yes. PT is a microbial base for petroleum-specific cleaners, degreasers, and remediation products. The non-toxic, non-GMO, spore-forming bacteria are OEM and private-label ready in powder, liquid, block, or tablet, with custom CFU concentrations for qualified partners.
