Munox SR Remediates Oil Seepage on Caribbean Island
Munox SR bioaugmentation remediated petroleum seepage on a Caribbean Island by NRG Save of Toronto. For several years on-going surface seepage from a crude petroleum leak was collected in a pit to prevent further surface flow. Recently, Munox SR was added to the pit and to the ground surface. After 6 days the water in the pit was visibly cleaner. After 12 days laboratory tests of the water in ...

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 ...

Field tests on a grease trap effluent filter
Abstract: This study investigates the field performance tests of a commercial grease trap effluent filter for removal of total suspended solids, and oil and grease discharged from the clear zone of full service restaurant grease traps. The grease trap effluent filters were installed on 1,000-gallon, 2,000-gallon and 5,400-gallon full service restaurant grease traps over a period of 8 weeks, and ...

Techniques for Oil in Water Analysis
The people responsible for conducting oil in water measurements understand that the measurement can be quite challenging. Wastewater from different sources can contain many different types of hydrocarbons, each with different chemical make-ups. On top of the lack of chemical uniformity in different oils, there has been a large variety of methods developed to quantify the oil in the wastewater. ...

Quality and first flush analysis of stormwater runoff from a tropical commercial catchment
This paper examines the storm runoff quality from a commercial area in south Johor, Malaysia. Six storm events with a total of 68 storm runoff samples were analyzed. Event Mean Concentration (EMC) for all constituents analysed showed large inter-event variation. Site mean concentrations (SMC) for total suspended solids (TSS), oil and grease (O&G), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen ...

Case study: fish processing plant wastewater treatment
Abstract This presentation describes the full scale installation of a wastewater treatment system at the Ocean Gold Seafood ("OCS") plant in Westport, Washington, USA. Local Government requires that fish processors remove total suspended solids (TSS), fats, oil and grease (FOGs) and colloidal materials almost completely in order to allow for efficient disinfection. The OCS plant had only a ...
