Pilot Application of SVE-Enhanced Bioremediation Technology for in situ Clean-up of a Light Oil-Contaminated Site
نویسندگان
چکیده
Light oil (isooctane) removal using soil vapor extraction (SVE) enhanced bioremediation (BR) was investigated by four steps, including: (i) amendment of substrates in batches (ii) continuous induction of contaminants for 15 days (iii) in situ acclimation for 100 days (iv) biodegradation assisted with SVE venting for 120 h at 20 m·h Results showed that the total removal efficiency was up to 90% after BR-SVE treatments. BR contributed predominantly to isooctane removal during the last 36 h of BR-SVE treatment. This implied that it would be an important strategy to limit water content at the early stage while increasing water supply at the end stage during implementation of BR-SVE, because water content was a significant factor hindering SVE but favoring BR. The overall results demonstrated a good complementarity between SVE and BR, and a potential for their combination in real-world applications.

Biocomplementation of SVE to achieve clean-up goals in soils contaminated with toluene and xylene.
Soil vapor extraction (SVE) and bioremediation (BR) are two of the most common soil remediation technologies. Their application is widespread; however, both present limitations, namely related to the efficiencies of SVE on organic soils and to the remediation times of some BR processes. This work aimed to study the combination of these two technologies in order to verify the achievement of the ...
متن کاملBioremediation Enhances the Pollutant Removal Efficiency of Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) in Treating Petroleum Drilling Waste
Contamination due to improper disposal of oilfield drilling waste is a serious environmental problem all over the world. This study used bench-scale experimental columns to investigate the effectiveness of combining soil vapor extraction (SVE) with bioremediation (bioaugmentation plus biostimulation) in treating drilling waste from onshore oil wells. The drilling waste used in this study was he...

Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is an economical method used to improve the oil recovery from reservoirs. In the MEOR techniques, by applying different microorganisms, a variety of products such as bioacid, biogas, biosurfactant, and biopolymer are generated, among which biosurfactant, one of the important metabolites, is produced by bacteria. It is worthy to note that bacteria are suita...
متن کاملEffect of Electrokinetic on Bioremediation of Disulfide Oil Contaminated Soil
The removal of disulfide oil (DSO) from contaminated soil was studied by the bioremediation method and the influence of electrokinetic on the bioremediation process was investigated. The bacillus subtilis strain was used in the bioremediation process. The effects of humidity, time and DSO concentration in soil was studied. The experimental results for the bioremediation of DSO show, the removal...
