Bioremediation of oil spills in soil
Oil spillage can cause a critical environmental impact on soil. Thus, many technologies have been developed for treating land contaminated by petroleum products. In this project, crude oil contaminated soil will be treated by bioremediation using oil-utilizing bacterial consortium. The bacterial c...

| description | Oil spillage can cause a critical environmental impact on soil. Thus, many technologies have been
developed for treating land contaminated by petroleum products. In this project, crude oil contaminated
soil will be treated by bioremediation using oil-utilizing bacterial consortium. The bacterial consortium
will be isolated from the crude-oil contaminated soil samples, and the best hydrocarbons degrading
organisms will be selected for developing the bioremediation process. Water sludge with known
composition will be used as nutrient source for the degradation process. The highest growth and
hydrocarbon-degradation rate bacteria with the optimum process parameters will be used for the design of
the bioremediation process. |
