1. Oily Water Separators
Bio Tubes
Oily Water Separators
An astonishingly simple biological product
that will reduce separator oil discharges by
up to 95%!
Oil Technics
INDUSTRIAL CLEANING & BIOREMEDIATION
Place an oil absorbing biologically active Bio Tube in your oily
water separator and you have a workforce of millions on your side.
Each Bio Tube contains a blend of naturally occurring oil specific
bacteria that will digest their way through up to 2kg of oil a week
– every week.
• Environmentally Friendly
• Digests free surface oil releasing merely harmless CO2 and
Water.
• The biological solution that reduces oil discharges from
oily water separators by up to 95%.
• Maintenance free and helps reduce clean out costs
Application
For use in industrial separators, bunds and oily water run offs.
Simply place one Bio Tube in second chamber and 2 Bio Tubes
in third chamber. Replace every 6-8 months.
European Approvals
• Tested by the UK Environmental Agency, who concluded:
Bio Tubes digest up to 95% of diesel oil without
any harmful or toxic bi-products
• Tested by the Swiss Federal Laboratories on a 1:1 mix of lube
oil/diesel in water and found that:
Bio Tubes exceeded the Swiss oil degradation target of
30 days by 60%.
• Tested by a major European Forecourt chain and found that:
Bio Tubes reduce oil discharges from an average
of 500mg/Ltr to 19 mg/Ltr – a reduction of +95%.

2. Oil Degreasing Chemicals
Oil Bioremediation
OT8
Oil Degreasing Chemicals are designed to
reduce the surface tension and viscosity of
contaminating oils so that contaminated
surfaces can be rinsed clean, oil free and
film free
Biological Oil Stain Remover for Hard Surfaces
Used by Industrial contractors in cleaning refineries, forecourts,
oil pipes, oil storage depots and by the general public for
removing oil stains from hard surfaces.
OT8 is our flagship biological chemical, with sales to cleaning
professionals in Europe, Australia and the Middle East for
over 15 years.
The selection of a degreasing chemical depends upon 4 factors:
Before
• No risk to the operator
• No risk to the environment
• Quick Break separation
• Cleaning application
How to use:
Water wet the oil stain. Shake OT8 prior to use (to put the
bacteria into suspension) and pour over the oil stains.
- Workshop Cleaning
- Component Cleaning
Brush in vigorously until the liquid changes colour from white
to a dark brown.
- Oil Process Cleaning
Leave for 15-20 minutes and rinse off for an oil free surface
Degreasers should offer no risk to the:
• Operator
• Environment
Bio TA
Risk to the Operator
• To avoid high shipping costs, manufacturers often supply
product as a concentrate which, as a consequence, usually
carry one or more hazardous labelling requirements
Key:
SF
• We recommend the selection of a degreaser which,
when diluted 1:4 or greater, removes the need for any
hazardous labelling
Separator Friendly
Bio 5 Day COD/BOD >65%
Risk to the Environment
QB Quick Break
We recommend selecting a degreaser which is not:
HF Hazardous Labelling Free
• Toxic
(for dilution >1:4)
• Persistant
and which is:
PW Pressure Wash
• Self separating (Quick Break), i.e. is quickly phase separated
(in Europe the separation standard is EN858, part 4)
WB Water Based
S
• Bio-accumulative
• Biodegradeable with a typical 5 day BOD/COD ratio of > 65%
Solvent
• Endocrine disruptor free

Biological Oil Stain Remover for
Tarmac and Asphalt Surfaces
Oil Stains on Tarmac and Asphalt roads can
quickly erode and break down surface structures.
The solution is to degrade the oil stain using
Bio TA, a biological oil stain remover that rapidly
removes and digests oil contamination.
Will not erode or degrade Tarmac or Asphalt
surfaces.
How to use:
Shake the container vigorously before application
(to put the liquid bacteria into suspension).
Water wet the oil stain and apply Bio TA neat
to the oil stain.
Brush in and leave for 15-20 minutes before
water rinsing clean.
