In Situ TPH Bioremediation with Petrox
With Petrox microbes, in situ TPH bioremediation reduced the concentration of petroleum in soil at a former gas station from 9,500 mg/kg to 52 mg/kg. The impacted soil was at more than 20 feet deep. Injection of calcium peroxide provided the oxygen needed for metabolism of the petroleum by Petrox microbes. The post treatment sampling was 90 days after the bioaugmentation, so that even though the average remediation rate was 105 mg/kg/day, the peak remediation rate must have been much higher when the Petrox population was higher.
This is another example of fast, reliable bioremediation by Petrox organisms.
