With regard to the concrete application for hydrocarbon removal, if the environment will allow, use a wet towel over the treated area covered by poly to keep the environment moist?
You are right on. Our technical manager mentioned that the bacteria would eat the oil (hydrocarbon) but that extreme care to maintain the environment would be needed to complete the application. He also mentioned that soil with oil or petroleum present could be treated with the bacteria as long as it was kept moist. The soil would first need to be agitated to expose as much surface area as possible.
