The SERP technology is designed to treat soils contaminated with VOCs and SVOCs in situ. Steam injection and vacuum extraction are used to remove the organic compounds from the soil and concentrate them for disposal or recycling. A full-scale demonstration of SERP was conducted at the Rainbow Disposal site in Huntington Beach, CA. The technology removed some of the diesel fuel hydrocarbons from...

Biopiling is an ex situ bioremediation technology that has been extensively used for remediating a wide range of petrochemical contaminants in soils. Biopiling involves the assembling of contaminated soils into piles and stimulating the biodegrading activity of microbial populations by creating near optimum growth conditions. Phytoremediation is another very successful bioremediation technique ...

BACKGROUND Due to the high concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in oily sludge and their environmental hazards, the concern regarding their effects on health and the environment has increased. The main objective of this research was focused on evaluating the feasibility of using Fenton process in removing TPH in oily sludge from Shiraz oil refinery, Southern Iran. RESULTS To d...

Abstract The clay with high oil content form soil lumps, which is hard for microbes to repair. In this paper, the bioaugmentation and biostimulation technology were applied improve bioremediation effect of content, that modified by local cow dung sandy soil, ecological toxicity after restoration was further analyzed. After 53 days bioremediation, degradation efficiency respect total petroleum h...

Background: The application of phytoremediation by utilizing plants has been used to control oil pollution in waters. One the that can act as a phytoremediator is hyacinth because this plant reduce various pollutants including petroleum hydrocarbons. This study aims reduction ability hydrocarbons at different concentrations improving water quality. <ns...

Large pilot scale bioremediation approaches were implemented for the treatments of oily sludge (OS) characterised by alkaline pH (pH > 9), high concentration metals (3% dry weight) and total petroleum hydrocarbons content (TPH) rangingbetween 22,000 67,300 mg kg ?1 from a Tunisian refinery. The included bioaugmentation biostimulation with autochthonous isolated bacterial strains consortia. Chem...
