PES
Hydrocarbon Remediation Solutions
Hydrocarbon remediation solutions from PES help treat petroleum contamination in soil, wastewater, slurries, shoreline surfaces, response equipment, tanks, and pavement through bioremediation, oil release, surface washing, and hard-surface treatment.
Three Products for Different Petroleum Cleanup Conditions
PES offers three distinct products for different hydrocarbon cleanup conditions. PES-31 is a live, ready-to-use microbial product used for bioremediation in contaminated media such as soil, wastewater, slurries, landfarming programs, and pits. PES-51 is a microbial byproduct and orange-oil-based product used to release oil from hard surfaces during shoreline cleanup, surface washing, equipment decontamination, tank cleaning, and industrial cleaning. Because PES-51 is insoluble in water, it helps released hydrocarbons remain recoverable with the oil phase. PES-41 is a microbial-based cleaner used to treat hydrocarbon contamination on pavement and concrete in fueling, service, loading, and maintenance areas.
Petroleum Contamination Requires Different Treatment Approaches
Petroleum contamination does not behave the same way in every setting. A cleanup project may involve contaminated soil, oily wastewater, shoreline rock, coated equipment, petroleum-stained pavement, tanks, or mixed media that require different treatment methods. Results improve when the cleanup product matches the contamination environment, the affected surface or media, and the way the work will actually be performed in the field.
How the PES Product Line Fits
PES-31 supports hydrocarbon bioremediation where petroleum contamination must be treated within the affected media. PES-51 supports oil release, surface washing, and decontamination where petroleum residue must be removed from hard surfaces and operational assets. PES-41 supports pavement treatment where hydrocarbon staining and residue build up on concrete and paved work areas. Together, the PES product line addresses a practical range of petroleum cleanup conditions across both contaminated media and hard-surface environments.
PES Product Applications
PES-31 for Bioremediation
PES-31 is used for in-situ soil bioremediation, hydrocarbon bioremediation for soil wastewater and slurries, soil and groundwater remediation, landfarming, diesel spill bioremediation, and production pit cleanup. Use PES-31 when petroleum contamination must be treated within the affected media through biological activity.
PES-51 for Oil Release and Surface Washing
PES-51 is used for shoreline restoration and oil spill surface washing, equipment decontamination for oil spill response, tank cleaning, industrial surface cleaning, and other petroleum cleanup work involving hard surfaces. Use PES-51 when oil must be released from solid surfaces so it can be rinsed, flushed, collected, and managed more effectively. A true waste minimization product that stays with the lifted hydrocarbons and does not emulsify into the water used to rinse the surface.
PES-41 for Pavement Treatment
PES-41 is used where hydrocarbon contamination affects pavement, concrete, or other hard surfaces and where rinsed material may not be easily collected. Under suitable conditions, the microbial component supports breakdown of hydrocarbon residue into simpler end products such as carbon dioxide and water.
