iTanks is an innovation platform for the port-related industry that connects companies, knowledge institutes, and industry experts.

Our relation with iTanks dates back almost 10 years and this time we introduce our water treatment products for the oil and gas sector.

The Challenge:

When processing petroleum and vegetable oil, you have to deal with residual products and/or residues that can contaminate surfaces, soil, water and other areas.

The use of chemicals, filters and water treatment systems produces results, but in many cases there is insufficient stability, the results are limited and subject to a lot of maintenance. Moreover, some purification techniques have proven harmful. An example of this is the use of UV disinfection near phenols. Read the article from John Hopkins University here.

The solution:

Microbial Relations specialises in the production of biological fluids based on QCE5 Spore Technology® consisting of certified pathogen-free plant bacteria and enzymes.

Our products are made for the industry to naturally and quickly remove crude oil, mineral oil derivatives, hydrocarbon C10 - C40, phenols, vegetable oil, methyl esters and organic components from water and surfaces. With no harmful residues, our products are also capable of making treated water suitable for re-use for agricultural purposes.

The business case:

Without any additional investment, you can easily add QCE5 Spore Technology® to existing systems to increase the capacity and effectiveness of your water treatment. It is also possible to deploy our fluids in places where no system is present or to create a system in-situ.

Our fluids keep your natural biology, filters and (waste) water in the desired conditions. QCE5 Spore Technology® ensures stability, less maintenance, better results and lower costs. Because we manufacture in-house, we can also offer tailor-made solutions for your specific process.
