The ability to harness the power of microbes ("good" bacteria) activity is the foundation of Micro-Bac International, Inc.®
In 1981, Micro-Bac® conducted its first commercial application, the biotreatment of a 75-acre municipal sludge oxidation pond. On the basis of this success, the company incorporated in 1982 to conduct research on useful metabolic activities and by-products of naturally occurring microorganisms. Today, Micro-Bac® manufactures products for crude oil bioremediation and other forms of hazardous waste bioremediation, microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) and wastewater treatment including food processing and animal waste collection systems.
All biological solutions available from Micro-Bac® are the result of tackling real problems brought to us by our customers. Micro-Bac maintains its leadership role in environmental biotechnology by continuing to develop and manufacture microbes that offer beneficial alternatives to traditional treatments. For industry and the environment, Micro-Bac products provide a safe, efficient and economical alternative to traditional problem-solving methods. We take pride in our non-chemical, low carbon imprint products.
Oil Field Applications 
Gaining acceptance for biological treatment has been a goal since the start. In 1991, Hart's Petroleum Engineer International magazine recognized Micro-Bac®'s Para-Bac™ product as an innovative oil field technology. Micro-Bac® has also conducted research for the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) to provide technology for waste remediation during space missions. Further, Micro-Bac® microbes comply with EPA standards - they are natural and nonpathogenic, and they do not involve genetic engineering.
For half a century, researchers pursued the improvement of petroleum production through microbiology. Not until the introduction of Para-Bac™ in 1986 has there been a successful biological product to lower operating costs, reduce downtime, improve physical characteristics of oil, and increase production.
Now production operators worldwide are using environmentally safe, low carbon imprint, sound, cost-effective alternatives to conventional methodologies such as hot-oiling, steam and chemicals.
The action of Para-Bac™ products is the result of metabolism in selected microbes. By taking advantage of natural by-products (biosurfactants, organic acids, ketones, and alcohols) and by combining strains that work in harmony, the microbes accomplish different treatment goals.
When Para-Bac™ was first introduced, only one bacterial blend was available for paraffin control. As the use of Para-Bac™ expanded, production operators reported other beneficial effects, including increased production, and control of scale and corrosion. Within a short time, Micro-Bac®'s research scientists began formulating new, more specialized products that targeted solubilization of varied paraffin carbon chains.
