Case Study

800 m³ of soil affected with thermal oil. Removal of 94.2% of hydrocarbons in 2 months and 99.5% in 5 months.

Active treatment that takes advantage of the capacity of microorganisms to eliminate contaminants from the soil without altering its properties.

It obtains harmless end products in the degradation pathway.

The chemical formula is: HC + e-acceptor + Nutrients + Microorganisms → CO₂ + H₂O + New biomass.
