CHM-HCT-5B
Chemtech’s Histosol and Microbe 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
Histosol 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.

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

The Applications of Soil Bioremediation
What is soil bioremediation exactly, and how is this process being used to reverse ecological issues? In this article, we’re going to take a look at how to define bioremediation, and also examine some of the key industrial applications of this highly useful form of biotechnology.
Understanding Wastewater Microbes: How Microbes Assist With Wastewater Treatment
Wastewater odor control and chemical treatments are crucial for any facility or plant handling waste and producing effluent. But what exactly are these wastewater microbes, and how do they work in the process of water treatment? Read on as we explore this in more detail.
Preliminary Treatment of Wastewater
Wastewater is an important consideration for facility managers right across the USA. Management teams need to be able to ensure the quality of the effluent they leave behind, protecting public and environmental safety. So where does the preliminary treatment of wastewater fit into the process?
