Soil reclamation, bioremediation
Bioremediation is a process used to clean up soils
contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons and other hazardous
compounds. In the bioremediation process, indigenous
microbes (biomass) and microbial inoculants degrade
contaminants and detoxify the soil. The byproducts resulting
from this process are carbon dioxide and water. In short,
bioremediation takes contaminated soil and converts the
contaminants into non hazardous substances.
Both insitu
and exsitu
bioremediation can be carried out at the contaminated site
i.e. old gas stations, tank farms, abandoned
referineries, pump stations, etc.
Soil is placed in containment cells in rows 12 to 18 inches
deep. Microbial inoculants, nutrients, biostimulants, water,
etc. are applied with the aid of sprinkler apparatus.
Devices, located under the soil, recover leached
contaminants and provide aeration for the microbes.
Oxygen transfer is optimized by tilling the soil at 7 to 10 day intervals depending
on environmental conditions, microbial activity, management
process, etc.
