Application Sheet BioRemove 2500 is a biological formulation of beneficial microorganisms for application to wastewater containing phenols, cresols, and other aromatic hydrocarbons such as catechol and cumene. BioRemove 2500 is used in refineries and petrochemical plants to improve plant efficiency and simplify operations by improving the degradation of phenols and system stability. Benefits Phenols and related aromatic hydrocarbons are common in refining and petrochemical wastewater. Sour waters and spent caustics generated by the cracking processes are generally the most significant sources of phenols. The loading of phenols in the wastewater system is also dependent on sour-water stripper and desalter operations. Phenols are extremely toxic to biological treatment systems and can
