In Situ Soil and Ground Water Bioremediation Using CL-Out Cometabolism for PCE and TCE Removal - Case Study
Background The dry cleaning solvent was found in an area around a dry cleaning machine. The solvent entered the soil below the building and percolated through the soil to a perched ground water zone and an underlying second ground water zone. The soil and sediments are interbedded alluvial and marine sediments with a high permeability. The site was close to the beach, and ground water is ...

Bunker C Fuel Oil Spill - Case study
HE SITUATION: No. 6 fuel oil is a dense, viscous oil produced by blending heavy residual oils with a lighter oil (often No. 2 fuel oil) to meet specifications for viscosity and pour point. When spilled on water, No. 6 fuel usually spreads into thick, dark colored slicks, which can contain large amounts of oil. The most viscous no. 6 oils will often breakup into discrete patches and tarballs when ...

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 ...

Bioremediation Following Dual Phase Extraction Saves Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars
CL-Out® bioremediation was implemented at a dry cleaners site in Houston, Texas to reduce concentrations of residual PCE and other chlorinated solvents in groundwater following dual phase vacuum extraction. After application of CL-Out® bioremediation the chlorinated solvent concentrations were reduced by 98% to 99% in less than 90 days. The switch saved their client hundreds of ...

Bioremediation: An Eco-Friendly Solution For Environmental Cleanup
Introduction Bioremediation is the use of microorganisms, or their enzymes to clean up environmental pollutants. It is a sustainable and cost-effective approach to clean up contaminated soil, water, and air. Bioremediation can be applied to a variety of pollutants, including petroleum, pesticides, and solvents. Bioremediation is a complex process that involves various biochemical reactions, ...

A wastewater plant bio-augmentation success
Rosethorne WWTP is located in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, just west of New Orleans. The plant was constructed in the mid-1990s with a design capacity of 400,000 GPD. Today, the average daily flow through the plant is approximately 250,000 GPD. During Hurricane Katrina, in 2005, the plant suffered considerable damage to its mechanical infrastructure, and even after repairs, its effluent was ...

Common Treatment Train for Nonhalogenated VOCs
A treatment train is the combination of different treatment technologies. A system diagram of a common treatment train for nonhalogenated VOCs is illustrated below. A soil vapor extraction system is used to pull VOC vapor from the contaminated soil. An air sparging system delivers air below the water table to enhance bioremediation. After passing through a liquid/vapor separator, the VOC ...

Accelerated Petrox® Bioremediation of Naphthalene and Methylnaphthalene Isomers
Petrox bioaugmentation was implemented at a former gas station UST removal site in Miami, Florida to destroy residual petroleum compounds in ground water. The UST and contaminated soil were removed. The residual ground water contamiantion, however, persisted and Petrox bioremediation was implemented to remove the residual low concentrations of MTBE, BTEX, naphthalene and methylnaphthalene ...

Innovative Uses of Compost Bioremediation and Pollution Prevention
Each year agricultural effluents, industrial residues, and industrial accidents contaminate surface waters, soils, air, streams, and reservoirs. A new compost technology, known as compost bioremediation, is currently being used to restore contaminated soils, manage stormwater, control odors, and degrade volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Compost bioremediation refers to the use of a biological ...

Bioremediation of pollutant-contaminated water
Raw water resources in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate are affected by many contaminants particularly during the winter season and low demand period of the Nile River, in which water level decreases and organic matter increases resulting in decreased dissolved oxygen, and increased ammonia, nitrite and bacterial load in the water. In this study, physicochemical and microbiological characteristics ...

Bioremediation of ground water by treatment of soil at source with Vaporremed
A heating oil company during servicing of a home in PA released almost 150 gallons of heating oil that seeped into the basement and below. Ground water was shallow and PA DEP wanted to ensure that the contamination did not pollute the water. The environment company overlooking the cleanup decided to use VaporRemed to reduce the fumes. In three weeks time the level of contamination of the soil and ...
