Bioremediation of Phthalates

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 […]

How Key-hole Bioremediation Reduces Source and Down-gradient Contamination

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
