BTEX Remediation in Groundwater

BTEX Bioremediation This project demonstrates the rapid bioremediation of BTEX components of petroleum with Petrox bioaugmentation. BTEX contamination in groundwater from a leaking underground storage tank was cost-effectively treated with two applications of Petrox. The pre-treatment concentrations of Toluene and Xylene were 1,198ppb and 2,408 ppb, respectively. Ten units of Petrox aerobic microbes were injected […]

Bioremediation of BTEX at an Industrial Site in Florida

Background Petrox® bioaugmentation was used to remediate ground water contaminated by benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) at an industrial facility in central Florida (Facility ID No. 8521705). The bioremediation was implemented in perimeter wells around the source area where air sparging and vapor extraction was implemented. This combined approach provided cost-effective, full-site remediation by […]

Pest Control Company Located in Florida

Bioremediation of Pesticides Using Petrox®  to Meet Part per Trillion Remediation Goals Summary Petrox  bioremediation successfully reduced pesticide contaminant concentrations in ground water at a pest control company in Florida. Dieldrin and heptachlor epoxide were found in ground water at concentrations exceeding state drinking water standards, which were measured in parts per trillion. After three […]

In Situ Bioremediation of Petroleum LNAPL

Background High concentrations of petroleum in the subsurface can accumulate in a separate liquid phase that floats on the water table, which is referred to as light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL). Investigation and characterization of the extent of separate phase petroleum is challenging. In turn, successful remediation, which depends on accurate and complete site characterization, […]

Petrox® Bioaugmentation in Bedrock

Case Study: Petroleum Remediation in Central New Jersey Summary Petrox® bioaugmentation was implemented at a petroleum remediation site in Morris County, New Jersey to destroy residual petroleum compounds in ground water. The impacted ground water was in bedrock fractures under and down gradient of a former UST location. The UST was removed and an oxygen […]
