SoyGold® 5000 is a methylated soybean oil product that is excellent for use in bioremediation applications. It acts as a biological co-metabolite that can be utilized for the in-situ remediation of soil and groundwater contaminated with hazardous chemicals such as chlorinated hydrocarbons and crude oil derivatives.
SoyGold® 5000 offers a broad range of functionalities from solvent to cleaning and degreasing ingredients. However, it serves as a carbon source in bioremediation applications to stimulate and support the naturally present subsurface microbes. The co-metabolism process occurs when micro-organisms produce enzymes that carry on the biological degradation of the undesired chemicals hydrocarbons present in the soil.
SoyGold® biodegradability supports the microbes population's growth resulting in accelerated degradation of the hazardous chemical components.
SoyGold® 5000 also has been found to decrease or eliminate chlorinated hydrocarbons in groundwater and underground contaminated soils due to its liquid/ liquid extractions properties.

Non-hazardous and non-toxic (HIMS 0, Reactivity 0, Flammability 1)
SoyGold® 5000 offers exceptional co-metabolite properties that enable in-situ bioremediation of chlorinated hydrocarbons, fluorocarbons, and other organic compounds that typically contaminate soils and groundwater beds nearby industrial facilities and oil extraction plants. SoyGold was found to reach a degradation rate of hydrocarbon contaminants up to 90% depending on the application and contamination level.
