OSNF # 1™
General Description
OSNF#1 is a proprietary blend of vitamins, minerals and organic nutrients used to stimulate microbial activity in product applications for Micro- Bac International biological products where indigenous nutrients are insufficient to support optimal microbial activity. Such applications include bioremediation of contaminated soil and water. OSNF#1 may also be used in the remediation of oligotrophic waters and tank bottoms. By lowering the carbon/nitrogen ratio, biodegradation is enhanced and mineralization is promoted. OSNF#1 is supplied in an easy-to-use granulated form. It is designed to be used in conjunction with Micro- Bac International products such as M-1000H*.
Product Formula
OSNF#1 contains all the major and minor mineral compounds as well as defined vitamins required by the specific microorganisms used in the Micro-Bac International products. It supports maximal activity of these microorganisms under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
