HydrobreakÒ
has been designed to aid in the degradation of oils and hydrocarbons, below is a
simple set of guidelines showing how best to judge the effectiveness of
HydrobreakÒ
as a an oil degrader.
The first step in any test is to determine the Total Petroleum
Hydrocarbon (TPH) or Free Oil and Grease (FOG) content of a solution or soil
sample before treatment with HydrobreakÒ.
Once the initial TPH or FOG level has been determined, HydrobreakÒ
can be applied to the solution or soil sample to aid in the degradation of the
hydrocarbons present.
If applying HydrobreakÒ
to a solution containing oils or hydrocarbons it is important to remember the
following points.
1.
HydrobreakÒ
acts as a catalyst and therefore requires that certain conditions be met in
order to achieve breakdown of the TPH.
2.
There must always be a source of oxygen present for the HydrobreakÒ
to have an effect.
3.
The solution should be agitated in order to create the right conditions
for breakdown.
4.
There must be bacteria present in the solution for breakdown to occur.
With the above in mind it is now possible to proceed.
The solution containing the oils or hydrocarbons should be placed in a
beaker or jar along with water and a 5/10% concentration of HydrobreakÒ.
The beaker containing the solution for breakdown should then be fed with a
constant supply of air. This air supply will provide both the oxygen required
and also the bacteria required.
The mixture should then be agitated constantly normally by way of a
stirring device.
The mixture should then be left for a period of one day with the air and
agitation in place at all times. After one day the mixture should then be tested
for TPH and FOG levels, these results will probably not vary much from the
initial readings, as the system has to develop into a bacteria rich solution.
In effect what happens is that the HydrobreakÒ
in the solution will utilise the oxygen and bacteria present to develop a mini
effluent treatment system containing a bio mass capable of degrading
hydrocarbons.
A reduction in the TPH and FOG levels should be noticed after testing on
the second day. The continual testing of the solution should take place each day
until the solution reaches the desired TPH and FOG levels prior to discharge.
