Evaluation of a bacteria culture for the bioremediation of soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons
EF 2016-17
Résumé
The goal of this project is to evaluate an in-situ bioremediation treatment for the degradation of petroleumhydrocarbons using a proprietary bacterial culture owned by Delta Remediation at the laboratory bench scale.The primary outcome of this project will be the generation of actionable research knowledge in the area ofenvironmental remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils using bacteria. The results from this work willprovide Delta Remediation with a greater understanding of the range and applicability of their product andsupport the expansion of their current customer base. More broadly, the results of this study are anticipated tocontribute to the pursuit of economically viable treatment options available to companies and municipalitiesstruggling to meet retirement obligations for an estimated 30,000 brownfield sites, and over 100,000hydrocarbon contaminated sites across Canada.
