Bioremediation Benefits – Oil Company Case Study

Bioremediation Benefits – Oil Company Case Study

Bioremediation benefits are easy to see in this Major Oil Company case study. In this bioremediation example a 30,000 gallon pond is contaminated with oil.

Custom HC, manufactured and distributed by Custom Biologicals,  contains the bioremediation bacteria used in this case study. Custom HC contains billions of beneficial oil eating bacteria. These microbes have been specifically selected because of their enhanced ability to degrade various hydrocarbons including BTEX components, gasoline, diesel fuel, long chain hydrocarbons, crude oil and more.

Here’s the case study.

Client Category                                            Major Oil Company

Location                                                        Texas, USA

Physical Plant                                               A 30,000 gallon pond with oil contamination of 971 ppm (mg/L)

Problem                                                        Potential for a significant “our of compliance” fine.

CustomBio Treatment   

A Daily dosage of Custom HC was applied directly to the surface of the pond. A total of one 55 gallon drum of Custom HC was used. Nutrients  were added and two 3 HP two inch diameter pimps were installed to  continuously circulate the pond contents for the purposes of aeration.

CustomBio Results                                    The follow results occurred within 30 days of staring treatment

Day                                                               TPH (mg/L)                                                                     Custom HC Cost

0                                                                            972

14                                                                           23

29                                                                           4                                                                                       $660.00

From the above results its easy to determine bioremediation benefits.
