CHM-HCT-5B
CHM-HCT
A concentrated, dry blend of stabilized bacterial spores and micronutrients formulated for use in the degradation of petroleum based hydrocarbons.
Advantages
Refinery wastewater contains petroleum hydrocarbons and nonpetroleum organic wastes. For this reason, Chemtech’s CHM-HCT-5B
contains a synergistic blend of petroleum degrading and organic waste degrading microbial strains.
Each strain in CHM-HCT-5B is selected to work under diverse environmental conditions and provide the most complete digestion of petroleum and petroleum degradation byproducts.
CHM-HCT-5B contains proven petroleum degrading strains. As shown in the two graphs on the right, gas chromatograph analysis confirmed that these strains metabolize hydrocarbon products such as gasoline, oil, diesel, and BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene).
The bacterial cultures in this blend are also beneficial in treating soil contaminated with hydrocarbons. Soil treatments can be spray applied or tilled into the contaminated soil. The addition of nutrients in soil applications to balance the system often shows increased activity.
Applications
- Petroleum contaminated wastewater
- Marine bilges
- Car/Truck washes
- Soil remediation

Chemtech’s Microbial Products are the industry-leading odor control, bioaugmentation, solids degradation, and corrosion prevention solutions. For over 20 years, we are the trusted and preferred supplier for a wide range of industries worldwide, including food processing, wastewater treatment, paper and pulp, refinery, and agriculture.
Safe, Natural Product
Microbe Lift O/C formula is a safe, natural product derived from organic matter consisting of natural soil constituents, including humate salts, humic acids, lignin matter and extractions of highly humified organic matters – powerful components that capture odorous compounds and interrupt their corrosive reactions, and enhance biological activities for solids degradation, reducing Total suspended solids (TSS) and Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) levels. A township in Pennsylvania was able to keep their water safe by using Microbe Life
Effective, Environmentally Friendly, & Economical Solution
In industrial and municipal wastewater and sewage treatment plants, pumping stations, septic tanks, and grease traps, Chemtech’s Microbial Products are an effective, environmentally friendly, and economical solution used for the digestion of fats, oils, and grease, as well as the control and reduction of a wide range of odorous compounds, including hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans and ammonia, and their resulting corrosive effects.
