Brownfield Plan Included CL-Out Bioremediation

A brownfield plan included Cl-Out bioremediation to reduce high concentrations of TCE and other contaminants in ground water at an industrial site near Newark, New Jersey. Using a dynamic remediation plan, three applications of CL-Out microbes followed remediation progress sampling during the site preparation for construction. After reducing the maximum CVOC concentrations from over 8,000 […]

In Situ TPH Bioremediation with Petrox

With Petrox microbes, in situ TPH bioremediation reduced the concentration of petroleum in soil at a former gas station from 9,500 mg/kg to 52 mg/kg. The impacted soil was at more than 20 feet deep.  Injection of calcium peroxide provided the oxygen needed for metabolism of the petroleum by Petrox microbes.  The post treatment sampling […]

Fast Creosote Bioremediation Results

Bioremediation of Waste Treated Wood Fast creosote bioremediation was recently demonstrated by a user of a custom blend of CL Solutions organisms.  The environmental consulting firm applied the microbes to finely shredded wood that had been saturated with creosote.  The initial testing results after bioaugmentation showed a reduction of the creosote concentration by  57% in […]

In-situ Bioremediation of BTEX, TPH and PAHs in Groundwater

Petrox bioremediation reduced  contamination by more than 99% in less than a year at a Florida gas station. After three underground storage tanks were removed from the location of a convenience store, investigation showed that petroleum contamination was present in small area near the former dispenser island.  The vadose-zone contaminated soil was excavation and disposed […]

CL-Out Bioaugmentation Following ISCO to Remediate TCE

Bioremediation used to complete closure CL-Out bioremediation was used to remediate ground water at an active manufacturing plant in eastern Massachusetts after ISCO treatment of TCE in groundwater reached a limit.  CL-Out was selected because the aquifer was naturally aerobic.  CL-Out cometabolizes TCE and other chlorinated solvents under aerobic conditions by producing an oxygenase enzyme […]
