| Summary: | -- transfer from soil-to-water was likely the rate ,consortia were shown to significantly biodegrade the aeration with essential nutrients and biosurfactant behavior of the laboratory microcosms designed to biodegrading the contaminants. Results indicated that Bunker C fuel oil and other petroleum materials over an conclusions were that the petroleum was not bioavailable consortia were able to reduce the TPH and many other contaminant. The extracted petroleum was biodegraded controlling factor in this study. Biodegradation rates essential nutrients and an inoculation from a refinery experiment using only the extracted petroleum extended period of time. This study focuses on the fractions were used to determine if the enhancement hindered the sampling and analysis of the petroleum. hydrocarbons (TPH) analyses and gas chromatographic/mass methods employed in a related field study. The six methods were more effective than the control in microcosms using field soil and water samples from nutrients and indigenous organisms, 2) aeration with of the petroleum, and the extreme spatial heterogeneity oleophilic fertilizer and indigenous organisms, 4) organisms, 5) aeration with nutrients and proprietary organisms, and 6) aeration only. Total petroleum petroleum contaminant when made bioavailable. These reduction rates among the six treatment methods. The simulate the in situ conditions and the six bioremedial Six bioremediation methods were tested in laboratory specific hydrocarbons. spectrophotometric (GC-MS) analyses of the petroleum there was no significant difference in the petroleum These conclusions were further supported in a second This soil had been intermittently contaminated with treatment methods were: 1) aeration with essential wastewater treatment facility, 3) aeration with were significantly slowed by the highly weathered state when made available in shake flasks. Three different within the fire-wall area of a petroleum storage tank. |
