Abstract
A composition and method for accelerating the decomposition of hydrocarbons. The composition comprises a non-ionic surfactant; sodium benzoate; imidazolidinyl urea; diazolidinyl urea; and a fermentation supernatant derived from a Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture. The method comprising applying an aqueous composition comprising a non-ionic surfactant, a preservative and a fermentation supernatant derived from a Saccharomyces cerevisiae culture to hydrocarbons to be decomposed.
