Alken Even-Flo® Technical Updates
Alken® PDE 903 Cold Flow Improver - Newly Formulated, Lower Price
Check with Alken-Murray for the prices of the first of our successfully reformulated products. The new blend is totally colorless and transparent. The pricing will actually be slightly lower for the new blend.
No Solution Yet For Alken EF 910, 910E, 910S, Alken 860 or Alken 935
We will post interim updates as these are solved and we promise to keep working on them seriously. We are close to a solution, but are not entirely happy with the flash points of the new blends. If anyone is desperate for one of these blends, and a "combustible" flash point is acceptable, please let us know. 
Federal Steps to Reduce Oil Prices Could Harm the Economy
Federal action to reduce oil prices in the U.S., either by rolling back the federal gasoline tax or tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, "would bring little benefit to consumers and (could) do much to harm the economy," according to a new paper by Resources for the Future (RFF) scholar John Anderson. This winter's price hike, which came less than a year after oil dropped to its lowest price in a generation, underscores the inherent unpredictability of the world oil market, but it came nowhere close to threatening the U.S. economy, Anderson said.

Alken Clear-Flo® Technical Updates
Two Custom Blends Are Officially Named
Newly named Alken Clear-Flo 7037, diesel degrading blend, and Alken Clear-Flo 7038, gasoline degrading blend, have been added to our publicly available consortium of products. These two specialized blends are specifically designed to handle ground spills from storage tanks at automotive service centers and truck stops. Highly specialized formulas, like these, provide an advantage when the target waste is highly concentrated and there are no other contaminants that require concurrent treatment. Under such conditions, the use of a targeted product will lower the dosage necessary for remediation to occur. Please note that if there are other contaminants creating toxicity, you may be able to use Alken 874 Surface Cleaner to reduce the toxicity, before treating with these two blends.
Enz-Odor 26 No Longer Sold For H2S Remediation
Our products Alken Nu-Bind, Alken Enz-Odor 2, and Alken Enz-Odor 6 have all eclipsed the performance of these two dry products, particularly after we removed the Pseudomonas aeruginosa, purple sulfur strain, that targeted hydrogen sulfide, but presented unacceptable health risks.
Please Remember that We Specialize In Customized Solutions to Problems
If your target waste is not listed, that does not mean that we do not have a solution. It may only mean that we did not realize that there is a significant market for a blend we designed for someone else. Please ASK. If we don't have an answer, there is a good chance we can devise one for just for you.
Mechanical Skimming is Not the Only Way to Remove Oily Film from Larval Ponds
Alken Clear-Flo 4003
very effectively augments the performance of any of the CF 1000 line products, when oil films are formed. Protect your larvae with clean water. NOTE: CF 4003 is the only CF 4000 line product that is safe for aquatic applications.
Our Microbial Glossary is Listed as a Reference by University of Minnesota
We are flattered that our glossary was added as a reference by the BioC/MicE 5309 course at We have improved the navigation in this glossary, with links to return from a letter back to the top of the page, and we have split the glossary into two pages, to improve load time.
New Link to Aquaculture Dictionary On-Line
The load time is a little slow at this site, but the definitions augment the ones in our Microbial Glossary, to give a complete understanding of terms used in Aquaculture and Aquatic Remediation.
New Nitrate Test Kit Available from Nitrate.com
An easier to use nitrate test kit is offered.
