Improve Soil Flushing and LNAPL Removal with Petrox EC
Petrox EC is a product that combines a surfactant with petroleum-degrading microbes to improve separate phase oil recovery and bioremediation of residual oil. The combined approach improves the rate of oil removal from soil and other subsurface media and establishes a beneficial petroleum-degrading microbial population that will treat tightly bound or deeply penetrated oil. Petrox EC has been ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Impact of heavy metals on the oil products biodegradation process
Oil products continue to be used as a principal source of energy. Wide-scale production, transport, global use and disposal of petroleum have made them major contaminants in prevalence and quantity in the environment. In accidental spills, actions are taken to remove or remediate or recover the contaminants immediately, especially if they occur in environmentally sensitive areas, for example, in ...

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 ...

What is MEOR?
MEOR is microbial enhanced oil recovery. Some microbes produce biosurfactants that increase the water-solubility of oil. The biosurfactants’ benefit microbes by making it easier for the microbes to metabolize oil. Additionally, the biosurfactants can strip oil from rock and soil surfaces to improve environmental remediation by extraction, air stripping, or sparging. The Pseudomonas ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
