A biological treatment system to remove oil from oil contaminated soils without the need for offsite excavation.
Degrades and digests oil pollution in-situ.
KEY PROPERTIES
A unique blend of aerobic oil digesting bacteria proven to efficiently digest oil and produce no harmful
by-products without risk to the environment.
APPROVALS
APPLICATION
- Isolate surrounding ground water from increasing contamination.
For small areas the contaminated soil can be lifted onto a polythene sheet.
For larger areas, trenches may have to be dug to collect run-off.
- Till the polluted area to break up the soil and aerate it and introduce
S-Oil Treat at a level of 0.5 kg cubic metre of polluted soil.
- Spray the area with water to maintain damp conditions. Recycle run-off
water to the soil to limit dispersal of oil and active bacteria.
- Once wet, the remediation process is supported by spraying dilute nutrient
solution, typically 1% of Bio Technics Nutrient 8 solution in water, onto the
soil using one of the packs supplied with the culture each week.
- If the soil is liable to compaction, it must be re-tilled to maintain aeration
and may require additional culture and nutrient.
- If the soil is liable to compaction, it must be re-tilled to maintain aeration
and may require additional culture and nutrient.
- Keep the soil damp, aerated and fed with S-Oil Treat and Nutrient 8,
recycling run-off water until the hydrocarbon content falls to acceptable levels.
