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 ...

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, ...

Assessment Of Tropical Grasses And Legumes For Phytoremediation Of Petroleum-Contaminated Soils
Phytoremediation is a promising technology for the clean-up of petroleum-contaminated soils, especially in the tropics where climatic conditions favour plant growth and microbial activity and where financial resources can be limited. The objective of this work was to identify tropical plant species from the eastern savannahs of Venezuela suitable for this technology. Three legumes (Calopogonium ...

Remediate former service station - Case Study
ERC was hired as the General Contractor for this project to remediate the former service station. Gasoline underground storage tanks (USTs) were previously removed however historical releases had contaminated both soil and groundwater at the site. The remedial activities for this project included excavation and off-site disposal of petroleum contaminated soils, as well as the addition of ...

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 ...

Detection of petroleum-contaminated soils using Equilibrium Headspace and Methanol Extraction
Petroleum spills and leaking underground storage tanks comprise a significant portion of remediation projects. Soil removal and disposal determined based on the contaminants and concentrations present. Specific target analytes are associated with this type of contamination. A number of these compounds are classified as volatile organics and are used to assess the severity of the contamination, ...

Decontamination of soil contaminated with petroleum grease
Contamination modifies the engineering properties of soil, thereby restricting its further use either as a construction material or as a supporting medium. Due to the scarcity of land, it becomes imperative to reuse the land for infrastructure developmental activities. Out of numerous soil contaminants, automobile grease is one of the most prominent. Considering the cumulative impact of ...

Surfactant–enhanced remediation of soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons
An experimental programme was undertaken to reclaim the soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. Two types of locally available soils, clay with low compressibility and poorly graded sand, were chosen for the study. Both the soils were contaminated with varying percentages of used engine oil and gasoline. Anionic surfactant Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) was used to reclaim the contaminated ...

TerraTherm to Remediate Soils at the Beede Waste Oil Superfund Site - Case Study
The Beede Site is the former location of a state-licensed and regulated waste oil recycling and disposal facility. The nearly 41-acre Site is located in a residential area of Plaistow, New Hampshire (NH). Operations at the Site began in the 1920s, and continued until the state of NH ordered its closure in 1994. From the 1920s to 1994, thousands of NH residents and businesses were customers of the ...
