M-1000H*
General Description M-1000H*TM is a biological product designed and formulated for the broad spectrum degradation of a variety of compounds found in contaminated and/or hazardous wastes. These compounds include simple aromatics such as benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes, as well as more complex aromatics such as naphthalene, chlorines, and benzo-a-pyrene. Alkane mixtures including transport fluids (gasoline and diesel) are degradable. A variety of chlorinated aliphatic and aromatic compounds such as trichloroethene and chlorinated benzenes (PCBs) and biphenyls are also degradable. This product has been used successfully in a variety of in-situ and ex-situ applications.
M-1000H* consists of live, specially selected, naturally occurring microorganisms, along with a supply of balanced nutrients in a ready-to-use liquid medium. All products are non-pathogenic and are free of slime-forming and sulfate-reducing bacteria.
In a proprietary selection process, specific bacterial strains are isolated and sustained. The selected microorganisms thrive in a variety of site conditions such as diverse soils and various water chemistries. They are capable of using many of the listed hazardous waste chemicals as a carbon source.
Treatment Procedures M-1000H* can be applied to contaminated or hazardous substances in numerous ways. For soil applications, the product can be sprayed or the soil can be reduced to a slurry and circulated with added product.
For vadose zone or groundwater applications, the product can be applied into wells or infiltration galleries. Often the addition of nutrients is used to augment the activity of the product in conditions where macro nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, or phosphate are limited. A good monitoring program is critical to the success of any bioremediation project.
Pre-Treatment Testing Optimal product performance can be obtained when sufficient site information and sample testing is performed. Consult with Micro-Bac's bioremediation professionals on the specific application. Sample testing request forms and information on packaging and shipping of samples are available from Micro-Bac International.
Post-Treatment Testing Monitoring is the key to successful bioremediation. Key macronutrients as well as specific degrading populations should be studied at periodic intervals to determine the need to retreat with either product or nutrients in order to maintain maximum bioremediation activity. Micro-Bac can provide lab support and information for establishing a monitoring program.
