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 […]

Oil-Contaminated Water Treatment

Sustainable Bioremediation of Industrial Wastewater CL Solutions provides a special consortium of microbes for oil-contaminated water treatment.   Under various conditions, the oil removal rate was as much as 1,300 mg/L/day.  In some situations the remediation goal is simply to remove the visible sheen or separate-phase oil.  With aeration, CL Solutions microbes were able to remove […]

PCE Bioremediation in Aerobic Groundwater

PCE bioremediation in aerobic groundwater by CL-Out microbes reduced environmental risk at a printing company in Kentucky.  Testing found high concentrations of PCE in perched ground-water.  The ground water aquifer was in sn alluvial sand deposit with high permeability.  The high permeability facilitated injection for in situ treatment.  Also, the high permeability of the aquifer […]

Improving Long-Term Bioremediation Results with Nutrients

Adding Nutrients Increases Long-Term Population and Bioremediation Results The goal of bioaugmentation is to improve the rate of contaminant removal by adding a high population of beneficial microbes to the contaminated media.  The additional microbes  should provide short-term benefit as the microbes begin metabolizing the contaminants immediately upon injection. But what benefit does bioaugmentation provide […]
