PT BUGS (Bio Ultimate Grease Scavenger) is an environmentally friendly, proprietary blend of bacterial spores, concentrated biodegradable surfactants and biostimulating agents. PT BUGS is fast acting and effective in the removal of accumulated grease, oil and other petroleum products from concrete and other porous surfaces including asphalt, stone, tile and soil. PT BUGS is cost effective and shortens remediation time in the maintenance and restoration of petroleum-contaminated surfaces. PT BUGS contains no petroleum distillates or solvents. 

Effluent from the cleaning process leaves behind a colony of harmless but beneficial bacterial that continues to consume subsurface petroleum materials that rise to the cleaned surface. The same effluent that flows into drains or adjacent soil continues the bioremediation process. For extreme cases, additional top dressing of dilute PT BUGS will be beneficial. 

No removal or replacement of contaminated materials is necessary. Remediation of more than 90% of petroleum contamination occurs in most projects after 30 days. Remediation of 99.7% has been reported after 4 months. 

PREPARATION

Remove all dry materials from the surface. If there is a heavy deposit of grease or other contaminant, it should be scraped to expose the hard surface. For hard surfaces, dampen the surface prior to the application of the dilute PT BUGS. 

APPLICATION

PT BUGS is used at a 1:1 dilution ratio for most applications. For some light contaminations, PT BUGS can be diluted with up to 4 parts water. A test area must be done, prior to the start of all projects, to determine the proper dilution ratio. In most cases, application by low-pressure spray, avoiding atomization, is preferable to ensure complete saturation of the surface. In other situations, brush or mop application is acceptable. Allow the dilute solution to remain on the surface for 20 to 30 minutes. Reapply the solution to any area that begins to dry out during the reaction period.

Horizontal surfaces may be either scrubbed and rinsed or pressure washed to remove the surface contaminants. Vertical surfaces should be pressure rinsed from bottom to top. Depending upon conditions, this procedure may require repeating or it is possible to top dress the area with an additional application of the dilute PT BUGS and allow the treatment to dry into the surface for additional remediation. 

LIMITATIONS

Do not apply to a frozen surface. Freezing of an active application will not kill all bacteria. When the surface returns to temperatures above freezing the activity will restart. A renewal application may be required to keep peak efficiency. Steam cleaning will kill some but not all bacteria. Again, a renewal application may be necessary if steam cleaning is required as part of the maintenance process. Store all containers in a cool, dry facility.
