BioRemove™ 2300 – Hydrocarbon biodegradation in refining and petrochemical wastewater systems

Improves effluent quality and plant stability through enhanced hydrocarbon biodegradation in refining and petrochemical wastewater systems

​Biodegradation of hydrocarbons often occurs slowly in the wastewater treatment process. At high concentrations, hydrocarbons can cause an increase in oil and grease in the final effluent and lead to filamentous outbreaks. Hydrocarbons can also become entrained in the floc. This can cause settling problems and biomass toxicity and may lead to complications with effluent toxicity. Whether biodegradation of hydrocarbons occurs completely, partially, or not at all depends on the type and functionality of the microorganisms in the microbial community.

BioRemove™ 2300 contains a variety of organisms that enhance biodegradation of hydrocarbons like alkanes and aromatic compounds.  It is the most effective biological product available for improving hydrocarbon biodegradation in wastewater treatment.

The benefits of BioRemove 2300:

Lower operating costs

  • Reduces surcharges
  • Reduces permit violations for oil and grease

Improved plant efficiency

  • Improves hydrocarbon reduction
  • Reduces hydrocarbon-related filament outbreaks and settling problems

Simplified operations

  • Improves system stability from hydrocarbon-related upset
