Selecting the right product for ex situ petroleum bioremediation comes down to usability factors. Both Petrox and Custom Blend products quickly degrade petreleum in soil. The average petrolem removal rate for Petrox bioremediation is 68 mg/kg/day.  The average removal rate for Custom Blend is 1,315 mg/kg/day. The actual field results can vary depending of the effective distribution if microbes in the soil, field temperature, moisture, soil type and the type of hydrocarbon.

Petrox

Site Summary:
CL-Out® bioremediation removed vinyl chloride and other chlorinated solvents found in ground water at a former automobile repair shop. The solvents were thought to have been released from an underground storage tank (UST). After the UST and associated contaminated soil were removed, CL-Out bioremediation was implemented to reduce the levels of contamination to site-specific cleanup goals.

Delta Remediation of Alberta, Canada remediated an accidental release of petroleum into a wastewater treatment lagoon using Biologix, which is a specialty blend of micorbes provided by CL Solutions. The TPH concentrations were reduced from 4,300 mg/L to 32 mg/L in 4 days.

Petrox Petrox and Methylnaphthalene Bioremediation Site Summary

Petrox micorbes accelerated BTEX and methylnaphthalene bioremediation at a former fueling station in Florida.  After a leaking tank underground storage tank (UST) was removed Petrox micorbes were applied to the groundwater. A temporary well showed high concentrations of BTEX, methylnaphthalene isomers, and total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPH) in the former tank location. The temporary well

Pilot Study Confirms Aerobic Cometabolism of PCE at Kentucky Site

A CL-Out bioremediation pilot study confirmed the PCE could be removed from ground water by aerobic cometabolism. The pilot study was at the former location of a dry cleaners where PCE wasfound in ground water at 27 parts per billion (ppb). CL-Out micorbes and dextrose as the metabolic substrate were injected into the ground water upgradient from the sentinal monitoring well. After 30 days the PCE conce

Specially selected microbes treat poultry processing wastewater to reduce nitrogen and organic waste levels
Petrox DN organisms reduced ammonia-nitogen and BOD levels in the same wastewater reactor. The organisms in Petrox removed 40% of the ammonia-nitrogen in 48 hours. This reduction stabilized the concentrations in wastewater effluent to an acceptable level eliminating permit exceedances.

CL-Out Aerobic PCE Bioremediation Pilot Study Results

A CL-Out bioremediation pilot study confirmed that aerobic PCE cometabolism removed dry cleaning solvent contamination from ground water. The pilot study was located at a former dry cleaners. At the site, the PCE in ground water was 27 parts per billion (ppb).  Bioaugmentation introduced CL-Out microbes and dextrose as the metabolic substrate by injected into the ground water up gradient from the sentinal moni

In Situ Bioremediation Eliminated Pump and Treat and Ion-Exhange Treatment Cost

Site closure reached in less than half the time and at less than half the cost
CL-Out bioremediation was implemented at a confidential manufacturing site to remediate nitrate and perchlorate concentrations in soil and ground water. A pump and treatment system was installed and operated for years in immediate response to the discovery of contamination. While perchlorat
