Soil Remediation

For soil remediation projects, there’s nothing better than Micro-Blaze® Emergency Liquid Spill Control.  Applied with a water-type fire extinguisher, pump-up garden style sprayer, portable eductor applicator or a fire foam eductor setup, it quickly penetrates the soil surface to the contamination and goes to work digesting the wastes.

 

  • Reduces odors at their origin
  • Inerts volatile “hot spots”
  • Rapid degradation of contaminants
  • Remediates in place; eliminates “cradle to grave” disposal liability
  • Reduces worker exposure to volatile hazards
  • Ships very concentrated; ready to dilute with water and use – no dry packets to mix

 

There are many variables in soil bioremediation – the porosity, the depth of contamination, available moisture, the oxygen supply, surface compaction, temperature and the type of contaminants are all considerations.  These determine the amount of applications and the time frame of treatment.  It is recommended to treat the area and test monthly for the amount of reductions, reapplying if needed.

 

A general “rule of thumb” for soil application: 

Note: Micro-Blaze® Emergency Liquid Spill Control is highly concentrated; it must be diluted with plenty of water to be used effectively. 

Determine the amount of contaminated soil in cubic yards.  For every 10 cubic yards of contaminated soil, have 1 gallon of Micro-Blaze® Emergency Liquid Spill Control concentrate.  Dilute the product with water to the percentage determined by the above variables, usually around 3%.  [3 parts of the product with 97 parts of water]

For example:  You have 350 cubic yards of impacted soil to clean. You will need 35 gallons of Micro-Blaze® Emergency Liquid Spill Control to dilute with approximately 1165 gallons of water. [For a 3% solution, you need 333 gallons of water to mix with every 10 gallons of our concentrate:  10 / 3% = 333].

Contact us or your Micro-Blaze® distributor for specific application rates for your situation. 

 Micro-Blaze® Emergency Liquid Spill Control can also be applied around decon staging areas for cleaning contaminated equipment, clothing, absorbent booms, overspraying absorbent material, etc.
