Bioremediation of contaminated sites is usually limited due to the inadequate availability of nutrients and microorganisms. This study was conducted to assess the impact of bioaugmentation (BA) and biostimulation (BS) on petroleum hydrocarbon degradation efficiency. In addition, treatment performance and kinetics of different remediation processes were investigated. For this purpose, four tanks containing oil-contaminated soils were tested. Tank 1 was operated as the natural attenuation process. Then, a microbial inoculum and nutrients were added to tank 2 to promote BA and BS. In tank 3, only the BA process was adopted, whereas in tank 4, only the BS process was adopted. After 63 days of operation, the total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) in tank 2 was reduced from 1674 to 430 mg/kg, with 74% reduction. Tank 1, tank 3, and tank 4 indicated TPH reductions of 35%, 41%, and 66%, respectively. Microbiological analysis of the inoculum indicated that Alcanivorax was the dominant bacterium. The population of TPH degrader bacteria in tank 2 soil was two orders of magnitude higher than in the control tank. Reaction rate data were fitted with a first-order reaction rate model. The Monod kinetic constants, maximum specific growth rate (µmax), and substrate concentration at half-velocity constant (Ks) were also estimated. This study showed that the TPH removal efficiency in the combined BA and BS process was higher than in other processes tested. The populations of TPH degrading microorganisms in soil tanks were positively related to TPH removal efficiency during bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated soils.

The Impact

Petroleum hydrocarbons represent the most frequent environmental contaminant. The introduction of petroleum hydrocarbons into a pristine environment immediately changes the nature of that environment, resulting in reduced ecosystem functionality. Natural attenuation represents the single, most important biological process which removes petroleum hydrocarbons from the environment. It is a process where microorganisms present at the site degrade the organic contaminants without the input of external bioremediation enhancers (i.e., electron donors, electron acceptors, other microorganisms or nutrients). So successful is this natural attenuation process that in environmental biotechnology, bioremediation has developed steadily over the past 50 years based on this natural biodegradation process. Bioremediation is recognized as the most environmentally friendly remediation approach for the removal of petroleum hydrocarbons from an environment as it does not require intensive chemical, mechanical, and costly interventions. However, it is under-utilized as a commercial remediation strategy due to incomplete hydrocarbon catabolism and lengthy remediation times when compared with rival technologies. This review aims to describe the fate of petroleum hydrocarbons in the environment and discuss their interactions with abiotic and biotic components of the environment under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Furthermore, the mechanisms for dealing with petroleum hydrocarbon contamination in the environment will be examined. When petroleum hydrocarbons contaminate land, they start to interact with its surrounding, including physical (dispersion), physiochemical (evaporation, dissolution, sorption), chemical (photo-oxidation, auto-oxidation), and biological (plant and microbial catabolism of hydrocarbons) interactions. As microorganism (including bacteria and fungi) play an important role in the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons, investigations into the microbial communities within contaminated soils is essential for any bioremediation project. This review highlights the fate of petroleum hydrocarbons in tertial environments, as well as the contributions of different microbial consortia for optimum petroleum hydrocarbon bioremediation potential. The impact of high-throughput metagenomic sequencing in determining the underlying degradation mechanisms is also discussed. This knowledge will aid the development of more efficient, cost-effective commercial bioremediation technologies.

Phytoremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils is a challenging process. In an effort to enhance phytoremediation, soil was artificially contaminated with known concentration of light crude oil containing Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) at a concentration of 75 gkg−1 soil. The contaminated soil was subjected to phytoremediation trial using four plant species (Oryza longistaminata, Sorghum arundinaceum, Tithonia diversifolia, and Hyparrhenia rufa) plus no plant used as control for natural attenuation. These phytoremediators were amended with concentrations (0, 5 and 10 gkg−1 soil) of organic manure (cow dung). Results at 120 days after planting, showed that application of manure at concentrations of 5 and 10 gkg−1 soil combined with an efficient phytoremediator can significantly enhance reduction of TPH compared to natural attenuation or use of either manure or a phytoremediator alone (p<0.05). The study also showed that a treatment combination of manure 5 gkg−1 soil, with a phytoremediator gives a similar mean percentage reduction of TPH as manure 10 gkg−1 soil (p>0.05). Therefore, the study concludes that use of phytoremediators and manure 5 gkg−1 soil could promote the restoration of TPH contaminated-soils in the Sudd region of South Sudan.

In this study, we investigated the curing kinetics of the epoxy system formed by the epoxy resin Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A, Isophorone diamine hardener (IPD), and the thermoplastic modification agent Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or ABS. The introduction of a third component, in this case ABS, has been carried out to improve the application of this system in waterproofing and use of paints, as well as improving resistance to the impact of this type of systems. In addition, obtaining kinetic and respective parameters will allow us to identify the properties and gain knowledge of possible applications in the industry. In particular, it is intended to reach a kinetic equation that is capable of describing variation in the reaction rate according to the degree of curing for the entire range of conversions, starting from the model proposed by Kamal et al.

The Impact

Contamination in subsurface environment is a serious environmental hazard. Main sources of the contamination are petrol, diesel fuel, gasoline at oil refineries, underground storage tanks, transmission pipelines and different industries. Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs), which is a promising technology to remediate groundwater in-situ, are filled with reactive materials for the removal of the contaminants present in groundwater. In this study, groundwater contaminated with toluene is treated in reactor columns by biological processes. This study was conducted to assess the impact of bioaugmentation (BA) and biostimulation (BS) on toluene degradation efficiency. After 44 days of treatment, toluene concentrations were decreased from 5 mg/l to 4.304 mg/l by the natural attenuation treatment (Reactor 2), which represents a 13.9% removal efficiency. Toluene was reduced to 0.0239 mg/l in the biostimulation and bioaugmentation treatment (Reactor 1), which represents a toluene removal efficiency of 99.5%. This study showed that the toluene removal efficiency in the combined BA and BS process was much higher than in natural attenuation (NA) process tested.

Bacteria Growth

Crude oils processing into energy continue to increase, hence treatment for its environmental impact is needed. The objectives of the study is to determine the differences in bacteria growth rate and removal efficiency of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) between compost and WWTP (Waste Water Treatment Plant) sludge addition at 5% and 10% concentration levels. Those effects were acknowledged through experiments in laboratory scale using soil contaminated by 5,5% TPH within 5 weeks until it reach less than 1% as the requirement. The soil comes from Marunda Beach, compost from UPS Merdeka, WWTP sludge from Jababeka, and bacteria isolated from soil contaminated in the area surrounding refining. The treatment used in this experiment was landfarming with nutrition addition and the main variable analyzed was TPH and the microorganism population. Results of this study show that the bacteria growth rate in compost and WWTP sludge at 5% and 10% concentration each are 0,7567/weeks and 1,154/week for compost and also 0,8783/week and 1,1109/week for WWTP sludge. The TPH removal efficiency obtained was 95,32% and 96,85% for the addition of compsot as well as 91,15% and 91,02% for the addition of WWTP sludge at 5% and 10% concentrations. Base on a t-Test, the differences between all the variation of concentrations are not significant. The correlation test between TPH degradation to bacteria growth showed that there is a weak downward (negative) linear relationship.Kegiatan pengelolaan minyak bumi terus meningkat, maka dari itu dibutuhkan tindakan penanganan pemulihan kondisi lingkungan yang disebabkan oleh kegiatan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan laju pertumbuhan bakteri dan efi siensi penyisihan Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) dengan variasi perlakuan pemberian kompos dan lumpur residu pengelolaan air limbah. Penelitian dilakukan dalam skala laboratorium dengan konsentrasi awal TPH sebesar 5,5% selama 5 minggu atau sampai TPH mencapai konsentrasi kurang dari 1% sesuai dengan baku mutu. Tanah yang digunakan berasal dari Pantai Marunda, Bekasi. Kompos berasal dari UPS (Unit Pengolah Sampah) Merdeka, Depok. Lumpur Instalasi Pengelolaan Air Limbah (IPAL) berasal dari Jababeka. Isolat bakteri yang digunakan berasal dari tanah tercemar TPH disekitar ,kilang minyak. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan laju pertumbuhan bakteri pada perlakuan penambahan kompos dan lumpur IPAL pada konsentrasi 5% dan 10% masing-masing adalah 0,7567/minggu dan 1,154/minggu untuk kompos, serta 0,8783/minggu dan1,1109/minggu untuk residu lumpur IPAL. Efisiensi penyisihan TPH yang diperoleh adalah 95,32% and 96,85% untuk penambahan kompos dan 91,15% dan 91,02% untuk penambahan residu lumpur IPAL pada konsentrasi 5% dan 10%. Berdasarkan hasil uji-t, perbedaan untuk masing-masing perlakuan tidaklah signifikan. Uji korelasi antara perubahan konsentrasi TPH dengan pertumbuhan bakteri menunjukkan hubungan lemah berbanding terbalik.
