Description
Biocontrol RX is a specially designed liquid biocide against micro organisms contaminating fuel storage tanks and systems. These micro organisms can cause corrosion, clog filters and nozzles and degrade the properties of the fuel. Biocontrol Rx is effective in layers between water and oil where the bacteria growth is most active.

Product description
Biocontrol Rx is a specially designed liquid biocide against micro organisms contaminating fuel storage tanks and systems. These micro organisms can cause corrosion, clog filters and nozzles and degrade the properties of the fuel. Biocontrol Rx is effective in layers between water and oil where the bacteria growth is most active.
Directions for Use
Biocontrol Rx is self dispersing and can therefore be added directly to the fuel tank. The preventive dose rate is 0.3 Itr per ton of fuel but in strongly infected fuels the dose rate should be 3 Itr per ton of fuel. In case of lube oil contamination.
