A fuzzy multi-criteria decision analysis approach for the management of petroleum-contaminated sites
This paper presents an effective Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (FMCDA) approach for contaminated site management. The development was based on: selecting eight criteria for remedial alternative evaluation and determining the weight of criteria importance under uncertainty; addressing various uncertainty issues in remedial alternative assessment process using a fuzzy-set approach based on ...

VSEP recovers fuel and creates a clean water stream that exceeds discharge requirements
Fuel storage tank bottom water (FSTBW) is one of several types of petroleum contaminated wastewater sources that can be treated using V✧SEP technology. The source of FSTBW, as suggested by its name, is simply water that separates from petroleum products that are being stored and transported in large quantities. This water that is periodically removed from the storage tanks in order to be ...

Enhanced Bioremediation of TPH with IXPER® case study
This remediation has been conducted after removing of leaking underground storage tanks from a former gasoline service station in Bethalto, Illinois, and limited source area excavation and air-site disposal of petroleum-contaminated soils. Dissolved petroleum constituents in excess of state reguatory standards were still observed in the groundwater. It was estimated that the remaining ...

Orange County Fire and Rescue Station 81, Orlando, Florida - Case Study
Oculus Number 8520434 Petrox was used to treat the residual petroleum contamination in ground water after the leaking tank was removed. The petroleum contamination exceeded applicable standards for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) and naphthalene. Petrox was injected into the ground water through 28 injection points covering a plume area of approximately 6,300 square feet. ...

The (Environmental) Science of Investigation: Interactive Forensics Training Helps Professionals Solve Petroleum Contamination Cases
When a site is contaminated with petroleum products, there are many questions. How did it happen? When did it happen? And, most importantly, who is responsible for paying to clean it up? This fall, Rutgers University’s Office of Continuing Professional Education (OCPE) will help professionals answer those questions in its completely revamped Environmental Forensics training ...

A Major Oil Company in Hong Kong Remediates Subsurface Hydrocarbon Contamination with MICROBE-LIFT® Technology - WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Ecological Laboratories has addressed wastewater technology internationally for over ten years. In that time they have remediated a variety of petroleum contaminated sites including oil production ponds in Venezuela for GEBetz, containment ponds in Israel, and sites in the Dominican Republic and throughout Asia. In this case, a major oil company, who chooses to remain anonymous, had detected ...

Integrated 3D physical-numerical modelling for simulating bioremediation of petroleum contamination in heterogeneous subsurface environment
This study presents physical-numerical modelling of petroleum contaminant transport and enhanced in situ bioremediation in heterogeneous subsurface environment. The approach is based on development of a three-dimensional multi-layered physical model coupled with a three-dimensional multiphase multi-component numerical model. An experimental scheme was designed to conduct 40-day benzene transport, ...

HD#3 - In-Situ BioLogix Application - Case Study
Summary BioLogix bioremediation was used to remediate petroleum contaminated soil and ground water to facilitate property redevelopment and meet regulatory obligations at sites throughout Canada and the US. Every site presents unique challenges, but the use of BioLogix microbes removes much of the uncertainty regarding remedial performance. Delta Remediation provides site evaluations and ...

Bioremediation of petroleum contaminated Soils in Brazil Using AgroRemed
At Atuba at the corporate site of COPEL, a state owned utility company, soil was heavily contaminated with transformer oil due to a long history of contamination since 1964 probably due to unsafe practices of storage and cleanup. The level of contamination measures as TPH in soil was as high as 766,695 ppm and much of the contamination was at a depth of 1 meter. The site is located on a hill and ...

Potential of treated contaminated soil as a sustainable stabilising admixture
Soil improvement can be achieved by adopting different techniques suitable for specific application within the ambient environment and the incorporation of different materials into weak soils has proven to be one such technique. This paper deals with an attempt to study the potential use of treated petroleum contaminated soil as a sustainable stabilising material. In addition to improving the ...

Fast, Easy Drainage Ditch Cleanup
Petrox bioremediation of surface spills and TPH accumulation in drainage ditches and maintenance areas is simple. Using a simple manual sprayer, the Petrox is applied to the soil surface. The Petrox microbes begin bioremediation immediately to enhance natural digestion of the petroleum, like probiotics for petroleum destruction. Unlike detergents that wash the visible oil deeper in the soil, ...

Dual bioremediation of phenol and Cr(VI) by mixed microbial cultures in the presence of molasses
Simultaneous phenol and Cr(VI) bioremoval by two different mixed cultures, from petroleum-contaminated soil (PS) and boron-contaminated wastewater (BW), was investigated in regard to different culture media, pH levels (6–8), initial phenol (25–100 mg/L) and Cr(VI) (15–50 mg/L) concentrations. The optimum medium was found to be mineral salt medium tested, which contained 1% (v/v) molasses ...
