Product Ingredients

Newman Zone® contains both fast- and slow-release electron donors.  Sodium lactate stimulates microbial growth within hours of injection and rapidly produces anaerobic conditions in the subsurface.  However, sodium lactate is quickly depleted by microbes and little if any remains after a period of 60 days or less.  Slow fermentation of the vegetable oil provides a continuous supply of hydrogen and volatile fatty acids (VFAs).  The hydrogen and VFAs support anaerobic microbial activity for long periods of time, commonly for several years after injection.  The vegetable oil is held in suspension as submicron drops by a proprietary mix of additives and stabilizing agents.  The emulsified vegetable oil (EVO)  remains stable during injection and does not degrade until the stabilizing additives (primarily surfactants) have been consumed by microbes.
