Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soil Remediation
Hydrocarbons are organic compounds composed of hydrogen and carbon atoms and are the building blocks of many fossil fuels. Petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel, and oil, are major sources of hydrocarbons. Spills or leaks of these products can result in soil contamination, and if left unaddressed, can have significant environmental and health impacts. In this article, we will discuss the ...

Bioremediation applied to high pH contaminated soil washing slurry
BioFuture Ltd. in conjunction with General Smontaggi SpA have used applied environmental engineering and bioaugmentation to remediate hydrocarbon contaminated soil washing slurry. The soil washing slurry had been treated using lime to dry and stabilise it for transport to special landfill for disposal. The starting pH was 12.55 and it was successfully bioremediated so that it could be used as a ...

Successful In Situ Remediation of Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soils in South Africa
Location: PepsiCo Frito-Lay Simba Isando, Gauteng, South Africa Use of the vehicle workshop area at the Frito-Lay Simba Isando plant was discontinued due to outsourcing of the distribution chain. An area in front of the wash bay bordered by the workshop and boundary walls had been heavily contaminated by hydrocarbon. This contamination was a mix of petroleum (PRO) and diesel (DRO) range organics ...

Remediation of hydrocarbon contaminants from oil lagoons and refinery waste - case study
In 2007 econ delivered an indirectly heated thermal desorption plant to a client in Kuwait. The plant is de-signed to treat various types of waste with hydrocarbon contaminant content. In particular refinery waste, oil lagoons and down hole drilling waste. The aim is to recover the waste hydrocarbons from the soil/sand and remediate the lagoons of their contaminants. Due to the natural ...

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 ...

Surfactant enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR) using Ivey-sol surfactant technology
This paper will focus on the application of Ivey-sol non-ionic surfactant technology to improve the in-situ remediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination is soil and bedrock aquifers. Normally hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOC) exhibit limited solubility in groundwater as the contaminants tend to partition onto the soil and bedrock matrix. This partitioning can account for as much as ...

Case study – benzene contamination retail gas station, Colorado
Introduction The scope of work for this site included an expansion of an existing soil venting system to remediate impacted soil and injection of a carbon-based petroleum degrading product to remediate long-term groundwater impacts. By using a combination of remediation technologies, including LT Environmental’s (LTE) TerraCert™ program, the overall goal of a cost effective cleanup ...
