In situ Heavy Oil Bioremediation in Alberta
Using a special microbial blend, Delta Environmental has been successfully bioremediating high concentrations of heavy oil in soil around pipelines and oil production equipment. At a typical site, Delta reduced the concentration of petroleum C34 to >C50 from 130,000 mg/Kg to less than 10,900 in 30 days. That is a removal rate of 3,970 mg/Kg/day. This approach not only benefits the environment and meets green cleanup standards, but saves money and equipment downtime for the facility.
