VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: Dilute or use eductors to specified rate and apply through fire hose, power washers, steam powered units, or chemical boom sprayers with nozzles that produce a shearing action. Special nozzles to apply the solution as droplets are not necessary. For shoreline cleanup involving heavy or weathered crude, presoak to a 6% solution may be necessary. 2. Concentration/Application Rate: BIOSOLVE^® is a highly concentrated product and must be diluted with water before use. Dilution ratios vary depending on site specific conditions. Dilution ratio's normally run at 6%, 3%, or 1%. For heavy, mousse, or weathered oil, a 3% to 6% solution should be applied. For light or refined products, apply at 2% to 3%. For sheens, apply at .5 to 1%. Since testing shows that BIOSOLVE^® quickly emulsifies weathered crude, it is not critical to apply immediately after a spill occurs; impact considerations can be fully considered prior to action taken. Surface Washing Applications: BIOSOLVE^® applied through power washers in light dilution is very effective in attaining the removal of oils from rock, cobblestone, shorelines, and sea walls. In marsh or wetland applications, BIOSOLVE^® prevents the oil from clinging to grasses and mangroves. Rigs and Platforms: BIOSOLVE^® is used to inert undersea pipelines before plugging and abandonment, degas tanks and platforms during workover operations, and to wash drill cuttings to remove oils and prevent sheens on surface waters. 3. Conditions for Use: May be used with salt or fresh water. Temperature is not relevant.
