Hydrocarbon Bioremediation – Cleaning fuels & motor oil spills on water - Case Study
Background Nanobite Products proved how effective they are in hydrocarbon bioremediation on water with the almost total remediation in one week of fuel spills from abandoned cars. Read on… On March 30 2006, in Black Sod Bay in County Mayo, between 45 and 50 cars were transported from a neighbouring island destined for scrap. They were deposited at low tide on the shoreline to await ...

SEB Surfactant Enhanced Bioremediation Process Improves F3 & F4 Bioremediation to CCME Guidelines - Case Study
SEB Surfactant Enhanced Bioremediation process successfully cleans >4,000 Tons of F3 and F4 hydrocarbon contaminated soils at a remote site in Alberta. The SEB process was employed when the subject soils would not respond well to a conventional ex-situ bioremediation treatment. So after a 20 month period of unsuccessful bioremediation; the client and environmental contractor contacted Ivey ...

Phenanthrene removal from liquid medium with emphasis on production of biosurfactant
In the current study, there are some considerable issues which focused on: (1) the production of biosurfactant, (2) its correlation with the initial bacterial inoculum in the liquid phase and (3) its effect on polycyclic hydrocarbon (PAH) bioremediation performance. Therefore, two strains Pseudomonas facilis and Pseudomonas spp. were able to form a large clear zone diameter on the oil ...

Biotechnology of hydrocarbon bioremediation in soil washing slurry
Application of Bioremediation for low cost contaminated soil washing slurry treatment with quick hydrocarbon reduction and improved sustainability. The application uses proprietary microbial formulation with a slurry bioreactor in order to accelerate the degradation process and to make it compatible with soil washing technology. The end result is a treated soil which meets the requirements for ...

The use of biostimulation and bioaugmentation to remove phenanthrene from soil
Biostimulation and bioaugmentation are commonly employed as technologies to remediate numerous environmental problems. In the last few decades, both technologies have been used to treat polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This paper presents a brief survey of some bioremediation aspects, with particular reference to phenanthrene removal from soil, since this compound is the main model substrate for ...

Elimination of oil stains in a fast food takeout lane case study
MICROCAT-SMPL Hydrocarbon Cleaner/Degrader was added to remove oil stains from a fast food takeout car lane. Objective of Treatment Eliminate the oil stains on the pavement and treat hydrocarbons in an environmentally safe way. Site History In an area where cars stop frequently to pick up fast food, they drop small amouts of oil and other hydrocarbons on the pavement. This not only includes ...

Bioremediation of hydrocarbon impacted soils - Marchbanks, Dundee
Client: Dundee City Council Objective: Bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils to achieve compliance with the Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) for Mineral Oil (C10 – C40); with the intention of re-using the soils to Riverside Recycling Centre to be used as a capping layer. Challenge: Approximately 2,800 m3 of hydrocarbon impacted soil was stockpiled at the rear of Marchbanks ...

Evaluation of The Efficiency of Various Commercial Products for The Bioremediation of Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soil
Bioremediation has become an important method for the treatment of terrestrial oil spills and is often favoured over strictly physical-chemical methods. In this study, enzymatic analyses and signature lipid biomarkers were employed to evaluate the efficacy of selected bioremediation products on control and oil contaminated soil plots. It is envisioned that these biological indicators may be used ...

Waterloo Emitters used for Bioremediation Study in High Temperature Saline Groundwater
A study was undertaken to determine the success for aerobic bioremediation of aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX) and MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether) in high temperature, saline groundwater conditions. The study included laboratory microcosm experiments, as well as a field trial in Saudi Arabia, in which Solinst Waterloo Emitters were used. To view the full paper published about this study, please visit ...

Fast bioremediation of a hydrocarbon contaminated site
The use of bioremediation has been demonstrated to be a very effective treatment technology for a hydrocarbon contaminated site within a month of starting. In addition to selection and preparation of an appropriate microbial inoculum the other key considerations were effective mixing, addition of suitable nutrients and maintenance of soil moisture levels. Careful management of all these ...

Sustainable Remediation: Harnessing Bioremediation Power With Delta Remediation
What Is Sustainable Remediation? Sustainable remediation is the process of remediating polluted environments using environmentally friendly and sustainable methods. It seeks to reduce the environmental impact of cleanup processes while effectively addressing the contamination issue. Sustainable remediation also means remediation processes that end the lifecycle of the contamination rather than ...

Comingled Plume? No Problem!
CGRS Environmental Services and RPI Group Approved Installer, Vista Geoscience, were a bit surprised at what happened recently at a Denver hydrocarbon site they were remediating with Trap & Treat® BOS 200® injections. In late 2011, PCE contamination was also discovered (most likely coming from an upgradient dry cleaner). The client stated “The data shows that the BOS 200® ...

Nanobite Protects Sea Life from Oil Pollution - Case Study
Oil pollution at sea can have devastating consequences for sea life – especially seabirds. When their feathers get covered in crude oil, they are unable to fly and death is almost certain. Nanobite Powder is a 100% environmentally safe product that can be used to clean oil and other hydrocarbons from the feathers of sea birds, safely, quickly and without in any way harming the bird or the ...

Bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons through landfarming: Are simplicity and cost-effectiveness the only advantages?
The biological removal of petroleum products using landfarming has been applied commercially in large scale with relative success. The technology has been widely used due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. However, together with these advantages, there are physical, chemical and biological aspects of the technology that can hamper the remediation process. The dominant pollutant removal ...

Bioremediation Removes Environmental Stigma for Resort
Untitled Document Although environmental contamination is far from our minds when we think of Florida resort properties, leaking underground storage tanks can contaminate soil and groundwater, and prevent property financing and redevelopment. Microbial bioremediation has recently been used at two Florida resorts to restore the propertys environmental ...

99% of Oil from Leaking tanks remediated - Case study
Spills and leaks from domestic and commercial oil tanks are a very common occurrence, caused either by the refilling of tanks or as the result of leaks. Very often old metal tanks corrode and start leaking oil onto the ground around the tank. Also the tanks themselves become covered in dried hydrocarbons and become significantly discoloured, even black. Spilled oil can seep into the ground, ...

Petrol and heating oil bioremediation using EU70 (case study)
As a result of an accident a tanker lost its load of petrol and heating fuel. A large quantity of fuel approximately 2000 litres soaked into the soil. Analyses revealed that the average level of hydrocarbons present was in the order of 0.55 %. The pollution affected an area of 100 m2 and to a depth of 0.6 m. Our goal was to reduce hydrocarbon levels to the lowest possible value in order to meet ...
