Guest guest Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Group, Does anyone know of a bioremediation agent that does NOT have a strong odor, or preferably no odor at all? I have a project to deal with a fuel oil spill that was partially remediated about a year ago, but quite a bit of residual oil inside the hollows of a block wall was missed. I've already got a spec done, so everything is covered except that the owner doesn't want anything used that's going to involve a strong odor. My previous experiences with bioremediation solutions is that many of them have a strong odor that attempts to mask the fuel oil odor. Can't have that on this project. I need to have the petroleum hydrocarbons gobbled up by bugs. Suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help & recommendations.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I have for many years used oxygen and aeration successfully to remediate oil spills. This utilises and encourages the growth of naturally occurring bacteria to eat the oil. A product I have used sometimes in concrete is a enzyme or dehydrated bacteria manufactured by a British company. info@...
