Patent Granted for Perchlorate Bioremediation

The US Patent Office has granted a patent for bioremediation of perchlorate in contaminated media to Michael Saul of CL Solutions and Andrew Irwin of Irwin Engineers of Natick, Massachusetts. This patent is based on the application of bioremediation to remediate perchlorate contaminated soil, sediments and ground water at a site in Massachusetts.  CL Solutions […]

Bioremediation of Industrial Fill

Historical industrial sites often have deposits of fill material containing a wide range of organic contaminants.   Perched ground water  present in the base of the fill is usually impacted by the contaminants and may provide a mechanism for off-property migration of the contaminants.  The organic contaminants are wide spread throughout the fill without a well […]

Florida Site Closures With One Petrox Application

The following applications demonstrate the significant results that can be achieved with a single application of Petrox bioremediation. Florida Panhandle Gas Station Facility ID # 32-8520334 Petrox was injected through horizontal drilling to address a ground water plume with limited surface access.  After a single Petrox® application there was significant reduction in the contaminant concentrations. […]

Easy Bioremediation of Oil Surface Spills

Petrox  bioremediation of oil surface spills reduces TPH accumulation in drainage ditches and maintenance areas. Using a simple manual sprayer, Petrox microbes applied to the soil surface begin bioremediation immediately. The following chart shows the results of the application of 10 gallons of Petrox to petroleum-contaminanted soil in a drainage ditch. After about 60 days, […]

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 […]
