Soil remediation — DeCoBac

There are many different causes for soil conta­mi­nation with harmful chemical substances. One approach to clean up organic conta­mi­na­tions, e.g. oil or fuel spills from soil, is the micro­bio­lo­gical remediation process.

A number of conta­mi­na­tions can easily and cost-effective degraded by naturally occurring (autocht­honic) or additio­nally intro­duced (allochthoinc) micro-organisms. Accom­panying measures such as chemical analyses should monitor the remediation process.

The soil-innate micro-flora can often be activated by addition of missing nutrients or oxygen. With these simple measures an increased microbial activity can result in an effective degra­dation process. Specific inves­ti­gation to analyse the nutrient requi­re­ments of organisms can by carried out by MicroPro GmbH.

DeCoBac – if external help is required.

DeCoBac is a stable mixture of bacteria, speci­fi­cally selected and adapted to degrade a wide range of hydro­carbons under aerobic condi­tions. In case the autocht­honic (on-site) soil micro flora does not degrade hydro­carbon conta­mi­na­tions, the degra­dation potential can signi­fi­cantly increased by addition of active bacteria culture (e.g. in soil treatment facilities).

It has been demons­trated that speed and range of hydro­carbon degra­dation have been signi­fi­cantly increased in compa­rison to untreated samples. Extensive laboratory tests and field appli­ca­tions in various soil treatment facilities have confirmed a successful appli­cation under practical conditions.
