General Application Rates for The following are considered general guidelines for product use in commercial, institutional and industrial applications....
On spills [pure or almost pure product]: Determine the amount of contamination by volume. 10% of that contaminated volume is the amount of Micro-Blaze Emergency Liquid Spill Control concentrate to have ready to dilute and apply. Dilute the concentrate to the specific percentage rate per contamination parameters (type of contamination, age of spill, viscosity, volatility, etc. as described below). [See example below.] Usually, heavier weight hydrocarbons like motor oils and hydraulic fluids use a 3% solution (3 parts Micro-Blaze concentrate with 97 parts water). Apply the diluted solution forcefully with good pressure so the oils will thoroughly mix with the solution and start emulsifying. The LELs of volatile lighter-weight fuels like gasoline and jet fuels
can be reduced to non-dangerous levels with an application of
Micro-Blaze Emergency Liquid Spill Control in a 6% solution. Diluted solutions can be put into a 2.5 gallon water-type Micro-Blaze products will not harm rubber gaskets and fittings and does not corrode equipment. On soils: There are many variables in soil remediation. Factors to consider are the type of contamination, the depth to which it has seeped into the soil; the porosity of the soil impacted, soil surface compaction, available moisture and ambient temperature. Always follow local, regional, and federal environmental regulations when cleaning up any type of contamination*. The general "rule of thumb" for using Micro-Blaze Emergency Liquid Spill Control in soil cleanup is: for every 10 cubic yards of contaminated soil, have one gallon of the concentrated product on hand, ready to dilute with water to apply. Dilution rates are determined by the type of contamination. [See example below.] Thoroughly drench the contaminated area when applying. Keep the soil moistened, like a garden, for best rate of remediation. [For very high concentrations of spillage into the soil, contact Verde or your distributor for suggested application rates.] Long-term remediation of heavily contaminated soils may need a "booster" application after 30 days of our biocatalyst ,called BudKicker, to add supplemental nutrients for the microbial population to continue at "top performance". For example: Company XYZ has a spill that winds up affecting a 350 cubic yards of soil. Using the above "formula", the company figures they need 35 gallons of Micro-Blaze Emergency Liquid Spill Control. Since the contamination is a low-volatile viscous hydrocarbon, the company determines they need to apply the Micro-Blaze at a 3% solution. That means, for every 10 gallons of concentrate, dilute with 333 gallons of water. So, the company will dilute the 35 gallons of concentrated product with 1166 gallons of water. (35 gallons divided by 3% equals 1166 gallons water) and apply onto spill area. For specific application rates for particular situations, please contact your Micro-Blaze distributor or contact Verde Environmental, Inc. offices by email or phone at 800/626-6598.
*: Always work in
accordance with your local, regional and federal environmental
authorities as to proper spill treatment protocols in your area. This
product is listed with the U.S. EPA on the NCP Product Schedule as a
bioremediation agent.
