Abstract

Bioremediation processes of crude oil contaminated soils have received a great deal of attention from several disciplines of the scientific community. A self contained laboratory biopile treatment process involving indigenous and commercial hydrocarbon degrading bacteria was studied, indicating that bioremediation of contaminated soils can only be safely and cost effectively accomplished by engineered systems. Bioremediation can lead to highly effective and affordable treatment processes. The benefits of bioaugmentation have been described. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 7th World Congress of Chemical Engineering (Glasgow, Scotland 7/10-14/2005).
