Surface Oil Spill Bioremediation
Petrox microbes provide quick response surface oil spill bioremediation. Petrox can be applied to the oil surface with a backpack sprayer to initiate rapid bioremediation. This approach protects surface water and vegetation with minimal surface traffic. In the following example, an oil spill affected the vegetation and surface water at the edge of a lake. Contractors applied Petrox to the oil ...

TPH Spill Into Lagoon Bioremediation
Delta Remediation of Alberta, Canada remediated an accidental release of petroleum into a wastewater treatment lagoon using Biologix, which is a specialty blend of micorbes provided by CL Solutions. The TPH concentrations were reduced from 4,300 mg/L to 32 mg/L in 4 ...

Bioremediation techniques, category definitions, and mode of action in marine and freshwater environments
The purpose of this article is to update and supplement the National Response Team (NRT) Science and Technology Committee's Bioremediation in Oil Spill Response Fact Sheet published in May 2000 and RRT guidance documents issued for FOSCs and response professionals. Although existing US NRT and RRT guidance covers important facts about bioremediation, existing material does not adequately define ...

Bioremediation Of Highway Spills On Sites With Shallow Underground Utility Lines
Highway spills involving saddle tanks of trucks are fairly common and in such cases almost 104 gallons of diesel are released in the environment. Although excavation is a preferred method, bioremediation using AgroRemed is considered another option in many situations like this one in West Virginia where the underlying cables were likely to be damaged. At the end of bioremediation, the values of ...

Spill Cleanup of Fuel Contaminated Soils After Roadway Accidents Using In Situ Bioremediation
Two case studies are presented in this paper, one study demonstrating revitalization of roadside vegetation through bioremediation after a spill of motor oil and in another case application of AgroRemed to sites affected by diesel spill with underlying utility cables. The TPH of the soil after bioremediation was reduced by more than 95% from 65,000 ppm in the first case while in the second case, ...

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, ...

A Feasibility Study for Assessment of In-situ Bioremediation Potential of a Crude Oil Degrading Pseudomonas Consortium
Following is a link and abstract for an article published in the Journal for Scientific Research wherein a Pseudomonas consortium isolated from a site contaminated with crude oil was applied and effectively used to remediate the same contaminated site under particular environmental conditions. Link to pdf: http://www.banglajol.info/index.php/JSR/article/view/2601/3361 A Feasibility ...

Bioremediation With The Activated Peat Moss Product In A Savanna Soil Affected By Spilled Petroleum
The preservation of environment is fundamental in order to get a self sustainable development, by keeping a harmonic relationship between oil exploration and environmental equilibrium. This is a necessary condition in order to share the oil production with other economic activities like agriculture and cattle production. In reality, the oil production is the most important factor in the national ...

Nanobite Cleans up Coastal Oil Disaster in Spain - Case Study
On November 13, 2002, the Greek tanker The Prestige began losing its cargo of #6 bunker crude oil after one of its tanks burst off the northwest coast of Spain. The Spanish government decided to allow the tanker to sink, despite concerns of widespread contamination. By December’s end, the tanker had lost 80% of it’s haul (more than 77,000 tons). Thousands of kilometres of coastline ...

Types of bioremediation and their modes of action
An Urgent Call for Change in U.S. Oil Spill Response With Bioremediation Agent Type EA* bearing out as a workable first response alternative to the use of chemical dispersants, contrasting evidence has become even clearer that dispersant use has been a huge failure. Dispersants have proven to be an inadequate response method with more and more studies showing an end point of enormous natural ...

Surfactant-Based Extraction Product Helps Minimize Impacts from Large Spill In Alberta - Case study
In July 2019, a failure of pump equipment led to the spill of about 320,000 litres of a mixture of crude oil and produced water at an oil storage and process- ing facility located in remote northern Alberta. As the facility operator reported, approximately 99% of the spilled fluids were recovered, having been contained in an on-site bermed area, which already held about 300 m3 of pooled surface ...

Nanobite bioremediates a Contaminated harbour - Case study
When a hydrocarbon is spilled on water, it is very visible – floating on the surface, a blue green sheen clearly visible. When applied to an oil spill on water, Nanobite Liquid will not mix with the water and become diluted. Within a minute it attaches to the hydrocarbon, bonding with it and creating a matrix – an agglomerated gel- that remains on the surface and cannot sink, no ...

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 ...

Petrol and heating oil bioremediation using EU70 (case study)
As a result of an accident a tanker lost its load of petrol and heating fuel. A large quantity of fuel approximately 2000 litres soaked into the soil. Analyses revealed that the average level of hydrocarbons present was in the order of 0.55 %. The pollution affected an area of 100 m2 and to a depth of 0.6 m. Our goal was to reduce hydrocarbon levels to the lowest possible value in order to meet ...

Oil Spill Cleanup Methods: How Experts Tackle Environmental Disasters
When an oil spill occurs, it can have devastating effects on the environment and local wildlife. These spills can occur for a variety of reasons, including accidents, natural disasters, or human error. Fortunately, experts have developed a variety of effective oil spill cleanup methods that can help mitigate the damage caused by these disasters. One of the most common oil spill ...

Reducing coal plants effluent discharge and waste pit volumes
The OSEI Corporation manufactures Oil Spill Eater II a first response bioremediation product that utilizes natures own process to convert hydrocarbon contaminants to CO2 by speeding up natures process to remediate hydrocarbons in a matter of days or weeks compared to waiting decades, reducing the time toxic hydrocarbons can adversely effect the environment. OSE II can quickly address pipeline or ...
