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 sp. in […]
How CL-Out Aerobic PCE Bioremediation Works A CL-Out bioremediation pilot study confirmed that aerobic PCE cometabolism removed dry cleaning solvent contamination from ground water. The pilot study was located at a former dry cleaners, where the PCE in ground water was 27 parts per billion (ppb). Bioaugmentation introduced CL-Out microbes and dextrose as the metabolic […]
Fast and Economical Phthalate Contamination Removal Bioremediation of phthalates can reduce risks to human health and the environment. Phthalates are a a family of common industrial chemicals used in plastics and other consume products. Phthalates can damage the liver, kidneys, lungs and reproductive system. Petrox microbes can remove these contaminants from water or soil to […]
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 […]
Field Demonstration of CL-Out Bioremediation of TCE and 1,4-Dioxane In a pilot study to compare aerobic cometabolism with anaerobic reductive dechlorination to remediation TCE and 1,4-dioxane at a former industrial facility near Lakewood, New Jersey, aerobic cometabolism reduced the concentrations of both compounds while anaerobic reductive dechlorination was unsuccessful. For aerobic cometabolism, CL-Out microbes were […]
