What can bioremediation and bioaugmentation bacteria achieve?
Bioaugmentation can be used for in-situ and ex-situ soil and water remediation. It can be used in conjunction with traditional mechanical methods or on its own. Microbial bioaugmentation is most successful in treating the residual biofilms in the soil. Our blend of bacteria ( Petro-Clear) have a broad spectrum of metabolic pathways and are thereby able to degrade complex hydrocarbon chains. Petro-Clear can also degrade the soluble BTEX compounds found below the surface of the water. Heavy greases and old residual weathered hydrocarbons with high molecular weights (PAH) are also degraded into their basic elements of water and carbon dioxide. A benefit to bioremediation is this an almost immediate reduction in odors from the spill. • Primary Mode of Action (Substrates Utilized Best): Phenol; benzene; toluene; other aromatic hydrocarbons with hydroxylated, nitrogenated groups; octane; ethane; other short-chained alkyl hydrocarbons. • Secondary Action (Substrates also attacked): Salicylic
