Aerobic Cometabolism of Chlorinated Solvents

CL-Out® aerobic cometabolism successfully remediated solvents in ground water at an operating industrial site in central New Jersey.  The manufacturing and plating facility had historical petroleum and solvent releases. Chlorinated solvents found in the ground water in two plumes covered a combined area of about one half acre.  A mix of chlorinated solvents including 1,1,1-TCA, […]

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 […]

Pesticide Bioremediation – Landfarming Application for DDD, DDE and Toxaphene

Petrox® bioremediation was used to remediate pesticide-contaminated soil at an industrial location in California. Soil Remediation The soil contamination consisted of pesticides including 4,4-DDD, 4’4-DDE and toxaphene.  Soil samples were sent to CL Solutions for bench-scale treatability studies.   The following table shows the  maximum detected concentrations and the treatment results. Contaminant Untreated Concentrations (ug/Kg) Post-treatment […]

In Situ CL-Out Bioremediation of Industrial Solvents

Case Study : Industrial Manufacturing Site, Illinois Remediation Summary Leaks from an aboveground solvent tank impacted soil and ground water quality at a manufacturing site in Illinois.  The impact was found under the adjoining building as well as the area near the tank.  The soil and ground water were treated in situ with CL-Out® bioremediation […]

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 […]
