How Key-hole Bioremediation Reduces Source and Down-gradient Contamination

CL-Out aerobic PCE bioremediation in a keyhole treatment reduced the mass of contamination near the source and down gradient concentrations in the plume.  At a former manufacturing facility in Cincinnati, Ohio the concentration of PCE near the source was over 100,000 ug/L.  Down gradient of the source the PCE concentrations were less than 10% of […]

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 […]

Remove The Tea Bag Without Removing The Building

When a source of ground water contamination or contaminant vapors is present under a building, efforts to mitigate the spread of contamination may continue indefinitely with mounting costs.  Bioremediation may be used to remove the source of vapors or ground water contamination without damage to the building or interrupting operations. There are many examples of […]

Florida Site Closures With One Petrox Application

The following applications demonstrate the significant results that can be achieved with a single application of Petrox bioremediation. Florida Panhandle Gas Station Facility ID # 32-8520334 Petrox was injected through horizontal drilling to address a ground water plume with limited surface access.  After a single Petrox® application there was significant reduction in the contaminant concentrations.
