VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: JE1058BS contains biosurfactant and has an ability to stimulate the biodegradation of oil by indigenous microorganisms. JE1058BS, which is a powder, can be applied using conventional spraying equipment, for example a powder mist duster attached with boom type multi-hole head. 2. Concentration/Application Rate: JE1058BS is applied in a product:oil ratio of 1:10. No pre-mixing or dilution by water is required. 3. Conditions for Use: JE1058BS may be used in a wide range of environmental conditions of temperature and salinities where natural populations of oil-degrading microbes are active. The mechanical removal of as much oil as possible should be done before the product is introduced to the slick.
