METHOD 

• It is always advisable to take soil samples to determine soil type, degree of contamination and depth of contamination
• Once the TPH has been determined, additional soil samples dosed with MX-80 at various ratios to be tested at different intervals – 72 hours, 1 week, and 2 weeks will indicate the optimum time/cost method
• As a rule of thumb, the area should be saturated with a 50/50 ratio that can be used as a guide for contaminations lower than 25000 ppm.  This should achieve sub 1000ppm results in less than 2 weeks.  For faster results, a higher dosage rate can be used
• Shake or mix the MX-80 especially when the product has been in storage for long periods or when temperatures drop below 5′ Celsius
• MX-80 can be sprayed, poured, or injected depending on the depth of the contaminant and soil type
• Ensure correct PPE is used at all times
• Where correct PPE is used at all times
• Where the contaminant is on or near the surface, the soil can be sprayed at the desired rate, raked, turned manually or mechanically, and sprayed again
• Allow 24 hours to react and then lightly water to assist with the silicate’s freedom of movement in making contact with the pollutant
• Repeat the process after 24 hours
• Regular sampling as per lab analysis will ensure targets are being achieved
• A treatment of “Cyber-bac” bacteria is recommended for pockets of contaminant that may occur underground and are inaccessible for contact with MX-80
• In areas of deep contamination and injection is required it is advisable to contact Entexol. We will bring our reputable spill clean-up experts to the site to advise on the application.
