EXAMPLES SOIL BIO-REMEDIATION

CASES:

  • Gas Station
  • Oil Wells
  • Lead Plant
  • Generators Manufacturer

  • Roofing Felt Production

  • Natural Gas Plant

RESULTS: 

  • Improvement of soil quality

  • Improvement of contamination classificatio

  • Remediation of contamination instead of sending to landfill

  • Reduction of earth moving and transportRemediation adapts to project operations, not the other way around

The following examples were provided by our licensors. The selected projects mentioned have been remediated in various countries in recent years. *)

EXAMPLE GAS STATION REMEDIATION (TEXAS)


Within 8 days, the contamination of a leaking oil line at a gas station was reduced by over 80% in 2013.


TPH Gasoline: ~ -83%
BTEX: ~ -100%
CL: ~ -52%
Moisture: ~ -54%

EXAMPLE OIL WELLS (OHIO / US)


A project achieved, among other things, an increase in density, a decrease in sulfur content, a decrease in kerosene content, and an increase in production.


In terms of gases, a decrease in H2 gas was observed.


There was also a significant decrease in odors around the wells.

In 2020/21, 2 oil wells and 1 gas well were processed  and compared with control wells.

EXAMPLE LEAD PLANT (MEXICO)


After only about 7 days, the heavy metal load f was reduced by ~ 85%!


Likewise, sulfates (~ -15.3%) and chlorides (~ -30.6%) were significantly reduced.

In a former heavily contaminated lead smelter in Chihuahua, a test field of about 600 tons was remediated in 2014.

EXAMPLE PCB CONTAMINATION (GERMANY)


PCB reduction ~ -63.6%  from soil samples that originally had an average PCB contamination of up to 13,000 mg/kg.


These results were carried out in laboratory tests over 35 days in 2021 with soil samples from the site of a former machine factory.

EXAMPLE OF PAH CONTAMINATION (GERMANY)


PAH reduction was between ~ -76% and ~ -89%, starting from ~ 8200 mg/kg PAH content in only 14 days!


BTEX, MOH and cyanides, which were also present, were significantly reduced.
Results were obtained in 2021 in the laboratory with 14-day batch testing of soil samples from the site of a former roofing felt factory and gas plant.
