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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Benzo(a)pyrene is a difficult remediation challenge. It is resistant to biological and chemical destruction and extraction from soil. CL Solutions Custom Blend microbes, however, have successfully remediated benzo(a)pyrene and other PAHs in soil during ex situ land farming treatment. By placing the contaminated material in windrows, controlling the temperature and moisture, the addition of Custom […]
Recent data from field applications of Petrox bioremediation show degradation rates of 100 to 500 micrograms per liter (ug/ml) per day. These degradation rates are for total petroleum hydrocarbons or total BTEX, depending on the site monitoring requirements. Achieving high degradation rates requires high initial concentrations. Initial concentrations of 1,000 to 10,000 ug/l were used […]
