Download or read book Bioremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Cold Regions written by Dennis M. Filler and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-02-21 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide to bioremediation in cold regions is designed to aid environmental practitioners, industry, and regulators in the remediation of petroleum spills and contaminated sites in cold regions. Remediation design and technology used in temperate climates does not necessarily work in cold climates, and cleanup takes longer due to shorter treatment seasons, sub-freezing temperatures, ground freezing and thawing, and limited bioactivity. Environmental engineers and scientists from eight countries working in the polar regions combine their experiences and expertise with petroleum contamination to write this book. It contains in-depth discussions on regulations, freezing and frozen ground, identification and adaptations of cold-tolerant bacteria, contaminant transport in cold soils and permafrost, temperature effects on biodegradation, analytical methods, treatability studies, and nutritional requirements for bioremediation. Emphasis is given to practical and effective bioremediation methods for application in cold regions. Emerging technologies are also discussed.

Book excerpt: "Indigenous, cold-adapted, hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria have been frequently detected in soils from cold region sites suggesting bioremediation, as a cost-effective remediation technology is potentially viable for cleanup of contaminated sites in cold regions. Previous studies on bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbons in cold regions have been conducted with coarse textured soils. However, fine-grained or clayey soils are commonly found in several cold regions. The overall objective of this research was to investigate the factors controlling biodegradation of aged, clayey petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soils from a sub-arctic site, under relevant temperature regimes. The biodegradation rates and extents of petroleum hydrocarbons were investigated for a clayey site contaminated soil in four pilot scale biopiles maintained at 15°C. Non-volatile petroleum hydrocarbons (C16-C32) were biodegraded 24 to 38% under continuous aeration and with amendments of 17.5% or 23.5% moisture and also 17.5% moisture with 95 mg-N/ kg soil. In contrast, statistically significant biodegradation of the non-volatile hydrocarbon fraction was not observed in a biopile tank containing soils amended with 23.5% moisture content and 1340 mg-N/ kg soil. While a significant shift occurred in soil microbial community over 60 days in the biopile tank amended with 23.5% moisture only, there was no change in the microbial community of soil samples amended with a similar level of moisture and 1340 mg-N/ kg soil, indicating that high amounts of nitrogen amendment inhibited bioremediation.This study investigates the effect of diurnal temperature variations on the biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil typical for the site from northern Canada from which contaminated soils were obtained. The extents of biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons after 70 days, in systems incubated at temperatures varying between 5 °C to 15 °C daily (representative of daily high and low temperatures) were similar to systems incubated at constant temperature of 15 °C, and were significantly higher than systems incubated at 5 °C. The soil microbial community of systems with daily changes in temperatures between 5 °C to 15 °C was similar to those incubated at 15 °C, but significantly different than those incubated at 5 °C, based on both 16S rRNA and alkB gene analyses. The results suggest that the highest temperature (15 °C) to which the soil was frequently exposed to, determined the microbial community profile in the site soil, and periods of low temperatures did not reduce the overall biodegradation efficiency or the microbial community compared to that maintained solely at 15 °C.Experiments were conducted to investigate if hexadecane, a biodegradable but effectively insoluble hydrocarbon phase, was accessible to, and degraded by hydrocarbon degrading bacteria when the hexadecane-water interface was separated from the microbial culture by membranes with specific pore sizes. In these systems, bacteria were unable to degrade hexadecane when the membrane pore size was 0.4 μm or 3 μm, but was able to degrade hexadecane when separated by pore sizes of 12 μm. To investigate the implications of these results to aggregates from clayey and sandy soils, the in-situ aggregate micro-structure of representative soil aggregates from petroleum contaminated clayey soil and petroleum contaminated sandy soil were compared by micro-scale computed tomography (micro CT) imaging. The "bioaccessible porosity" defined as fraction of aggregate volume corresponding to pores larger than 4 μm was comparable in case of clayey (26-27%) and sandy (24%) aggregates." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With oil spills occurring worldwide, much media and practical attention has been given in recent years to the rapidly maturing field of hydrocarbon bioremediation, particularly with application to marine spills. Hydrocarbon contamination of soil and groundwater, although less visible, is even more widespread and has provided the background for the numerous studies presented in this book, in addition to those devoted to shoreline spills. Chapters address a wide variety of theory and practice and cover important subjects such as biofiltration, natural attenuation, surfactants, and the use of in situ bioventing compared to soil venting. This unique book represents the collective global experience of practitioners and researchers in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. It describes experiences in tying laboratory studies to field applications. Nowhere else can anyone involved in hydrocarbon bioremediation find more up-to-date, relevant information on field experience using the various techniques and combinations of techniques in remediating hydrocarbons by biological means.

This book was released on 2012-11-07 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With petroleum-related spills, explosions, and health issues in the headlines almost every day, the issue of remediation of petroleum and petroleum products is taking on increasing importance, for the survival of our environment, our planet, and our future. This book is the first of its kind to explore this difficult issue from an engineering and scientific point of view and offer solutions and reasonable courses of action. This book will guide the reader through the various methods that are used for the bioremediation of petroleum and petroleum products. The text is easy to read and includes many up-to-date and topical references. This book introduces the reader to the science and technology of biodegradation—a key process in the bioremediation of petroleum and petroleum-based contaminants at spill sites. The contaminants of concern in the molecularly variable petroleum and petroleum products can be degraded under appropriate conditions. But the success of the process depends on the ability to determine the necessary conditions and establish them in the contaminated environment. Although the prime focus of the book is to determine the mechanism, extent, and efficiency of biodegradation, it is necessary to know the composition of the original petroleum or petroleum product. The laws of science dictate what can or cannot be done with petroleum and petroleum products to ensure that biodegradation (hence, bioremediation) processes are effective. The science of the composition of petroleum and petroleum products is at the core of understanding the chemistry of biodegradation and bioremediation processes. Hence, inclusion of petroleum analyses and properties along with petroleum product analyses and properties is a necessary part of this text. Bioremediation of Petroleum and Petroleum Products: Summarizes the pros and cons of remediation of petroleum and petroleum-based products, from an environmental perspective Gives examples of unethical behavior and how they should be corrected Offers arguments and elucidates engineering considerations on all sides of these difficult environmental and economic issues

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current prices and demand for petroleum hydrocabons have generated an increase of oil spills around the country and the world. Health and environmental impacts associated to these organic pollutants represent a huge concern for the general public, leading the public and private sector to develop new technologies and methods to minimize or eliminate those risks. Ex-Situ bioremediation through biopiles, as a main remediation technique to treat a wide range of hydrocarbons, has been a topic of considerable research interest over the last years. It provides an economical and environmental solution to restore the environment to background levels. Nevertheless, successful bioremediation under cold climate conditions is of considerable concern in countries like Canada, as low temperatures can delay the rate of bioremediation of oil hydrocarbons, thus limiting the operation of soil treatment facilities to certain times of the year. Recent research has found out that bioremediation could be conducted even at low or cold temperatures with larger periods of times. And even more, the addition of petroleum degrading microorganisms (bioaugmentation) and nutrients or biosurfactants (biostimulation) could enhance the process in some cases. In the present study, a comprehensive assessment of bioaugmentation and biostimulation strategies for ex-situ bioremediation of petroleum contaminated soil under cold climate conditions is proposed. Field scale biopiles were constructed and subjected to different concentrations of commercial microbial consortia and mature compost, as bioaugmentation and biostimulation strategies, in a soil treatment facility at Moose Creek, Ontario over a period of 94 days (November 2012 to February 2013). Assessment and comparison of the biodegradation rates of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and their fractions were investigated. Furthermore, a response surface methodology (RSM) based on a factorial design to investigate and optimize the effects of the microbial consortia application rate and amount of compost on the TPH removal was also assessed. Results showed that biopiles inoculated with microbial consortia and amended with 10:1 soil to compost ratio under aerobic conditions performed the best, degrading 82% of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) with a first-order kinetic degradation rate of 0.016 d_1, under cold temperature conditions. The average removal efficiencies for TPHs after 94 days for control biopiles, with no amendments or with microbial consortia or compost only treatments were 48%, 55%, and 52%, respectively. Statistical analyses indicated a significant difference (p

Download or read book Microbial Action on Hydrocarbons written by Vivek Kumar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-08 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses ways to overcome the side effects of using hydrocarbon-based products as energy sources. Hydrocarbons produce raw crude oil waste of around 600,000 metric tons per annum, with a range of uncertainty of 200,000 metric tons per year. The various chapters in this book focus on approaches to reduce these wastes through the application of potential microbes, in a process called bioremediation. The book is a one-stop reference resource on the methods, mechanisms and application of the bio-composites, in the laboratory and field. Focusing on resolving a very pressing environmental issue, it not only provides details of existing challenges, but also offers deeper insights into the possibility of solving problems using hydrocarbon bioremediation.
