Fast BTEX and methylnaphthalene bioremediation
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 ...

In Situ Biological Treatment for Ground Water, Surface Water, and Leachate
The main advantage of in situ treatment is that it allows ground water to be treated without being brought to the surface, resulting in significant cost savings. In situ treatment, however, generally requires longer time periods, and there is less certainty about the uniformity of treatment because of the variability in aquifer characteristics and because the efficacy of the process is more ...

In Situ Biological Treatment for Soil, Sediment, and Sludge
The main advantage of in situ treatment is that it allows soil to be treated without being excavated and transported, resulting in potentially significant cost savings. However, in situ treatment generally requires longer time periods, and there is less certainty about the uniformity of treatment because of the variability in soil and aquifer characteristics and because the efficacy of the ...

Biofiltration: An Innovative Technology for The Future
Biofiltration refers to the biological transformation or treatment of contaminants present in the gas phase, usually air. The fact that air contaminants can be biodegraded by active bacteria has been known for quite some time. However, it is only in the last 10 years, that biofiltration has begun to emerge as an economically viable treatment process. Initially, biofiltration involved the use of ...

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 ...

Microbe-assisted phytoremediation approach for ecological restoration of zinc mine spoil dump
Mining is one of the sectors that impacts air, water and soil pollution. The various environmental problems that are associated with mining activities are deforestation, removal of fertile topsoil, unstable slopes prone to sliding and erosion, siltation of water bodies due to wash off of mineral overburden dumps, air pollution due to discharge of dust and noise pollution. The most effective means ...

Case study - Groundwater remediation of a contaminated site using enhanced anaerobic bioremediation
Chlorinated solvents are a common threat to drinking water sources throughout the United States. While handling and disposal practices today are more closely regulated and monitored, this has not always been the case. With dry cleaners using tetrachloroethene (PCE) and industrial manufacturing facilities commonly using a variety of solvents from trichloroethene (TCE) to methylene chloride, past ...

Remediation of Free Product with Horizontal Bioremediation Systems - Case Study
Project Location: Northern New York Client: Private Corporation – Petroleum Distribution Center Contamination: Gasoline Site Size: 10+ Acres Project Description: Seeking to excavate a trench to install an underground pipe, the client’s contractor severed a buried, and greatly mislocated, 10-inch gasoline header. The header was under significant head pressure, being fed by a ...

Case Study: Aerobic Cometabolism of Vinyl Chloride in Central Ohio
Site Summary: Chlorinated solvents were 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. Geology and Hydrogeology The site is set in ...

Enhanced Bioremediation
Introduction Enhanced bioremediation is a process in which indigenous or inoculated micro-organisms (e.g., fungi, bacteria, and other microbes) degrade (metabolize) organic contaminants found in soil and/or ground water, converting them to innocuous end products. Nutrients, oxygen, or other amendments may be used to enhance bioremediation and contaminant desorption from subsurface materials. ...
