One use of bioremediation is the application of biological microbes for the clean up of hazardous oil spills or remaining film resulting in a safe, efficient and cost-effective solution. Bioremediation uses microbes, enzymes, oxygen and other nutrients to chemically transform oil into carbon dioxide and water. BioRem-2000 Surface Cleanerâ„¢ increases the surface area of the oil while the enzymes break down the contaminants into smaller molecules. The enzymes then attract the microbes and consume the oil leaving only water and carbon dioxide as by-products. Once the reaction is complete, the enzymes break free to attach to another hydrocarbon source in order to repeat the same reaction.
