Bioremediatiion of Hydrocarbon Contaminated Soil
Landfarming: Aerobic Bioremediation
Landfarming is an above-ground remediation technology for reducing concentrations of petroleum products through aerobic bioremediation. This technology usually involves spreading contaminated soil in a thin layer on the ground and stimulating aerobic microbial activity within the soil through aeration and the addition of nutrients, surfactants and moisture.
The BioSolve® Company offers two products used to accelerate bioremediation activity: BioSolve® Activator and BioSolve® Hydrovent. Activator is a proprietary formulation of surfactants and other specialty chemicals that mobilizes oil trapped in the soil, releasing it into the aqueous phase to improve bioavailability – accelerating naturally occurring microbiological processes. Hydrovent is a formulation of bioremediation nutrients blended with Activator.
Customers have a choice of purchasing blended package with nutrients (Hydrovent) or a surfactant formulation alone (Activator), which can be applied with their own nutrients. Regardless of the choice, nutrients, in the form of nitrogen and phosphorus, are required to sustain bioremediation activity.
Under favorable conditions (involving temperature, aeration, moisture, pH, nutrients and an active microbiological colony suitable for hydrocarbon degradation), contamination levels in soil may be reduced by up to 90% in less than 45 days using aerobic bioremediation alone.
"BioSolve® Pinkwater clearly outperformed everything else we have tried. I’m a real believer in the product."

"We, and the customer were extremely pleased with BioSolve’s performance in quickly and permanently removing the oil and odor. We have found an excellent product in BioSolve® and intend to continue stocking and using it."

"After application [of BioSolve] odors were reduced to non-existent and no further complaints were made. Re-application of BioSolve® was also used when soil was moved or turned."

"[Using BioSolve] allowed us to perform a job [tank cleaning] in a way that was environmentally safe as well as ensuring the safety of our workers. We were also able to take credit for waste minimization efforts as the job created no waste."

"You guys have a unique product. Every MGP job has odor issues. It would be foolish not to
include BioSolve when submitting a bid for that work."

"I used it and the results were miraculous. The readings in ambient air went from 150 PPM to 5
PPM in less than five minutes. I was astounded."

"We will use Pinkwater to clean equipment contaminated with creosote and NAPL. Simple Green is not doing the job, so we will switch to Pinkwater."

"When I heard about BioSolve I was really skeptical, but I tried it. And it worked better than they said it would. I now use BioSolve Pinkwater for small tank cleaning, spill clean-up and vapor suppression. Great product."
