Sulfolane Bioremediation

Sulfolane is an emerging contaminant of concern for potential environmental impact to ground water in Alberta.  CL Solutions recently completed laboratory bench-scale testing that showed the Petrox organisms can efficiently degrade sulfolane.  Under laboratory conditions Petrox organisms metabolized sulfolane at a minimum rate of 33 ug/L/day.  Further lab tests are under way and field scale implementation may proceed in the Summer of 2017.
