Comparison of biostimulation and bioaugmentation for remediation of soil contaminated with spent motor oil

Abstract: Aerobic fixed bed bioreactors were used to study and compare biostimulation and bioaugmentation for remediation of soil contaminated with spent motor oil. Bioaugmentation using consortium of bacteria and biostimulation using inorganic fertilizer and potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate were investigated. The bioremediation indicators used were the oil and grease content removals, total heterotrophic bacteria counts and carbon dioxide respiration rates. Results showed that biodegradations were very effective wit… Show more

“…Treatment of O&G containing wastewater by physicochemical as well as biological methods has been extensively researched (Wong et al 2007;Abdulsalam et al 2011), as these constituents could lead to a multitude of problems in treatment plants and seriously undermine the plant's performance. Reduction in cell-aqueous phase transfer rates, sedimentation hindrance due to the growth of filamentous microorganisms, development of bulking sludge, clogging, and emanation of foul odors are a few representative difficulties posed by these constituents.…”

“…This is principally associated with inadequate measures in the production, transportation, and refining of crude oil. This issue is more severe in the developing countries where there were no effective regulatory policies on the environment (Escalante Espinosa 2000;Infante 2001;Yazdanparast et al 2004;Osuji and Ezebuiro 2006;Torres et al 2007;Sakari et al 2010;Abdulsalam et al 2011).…”

“…In part, this is because the physicochemical technologies have their limitations. They are more expensive to implement at full scale, they are frequently not environmentally friendly, their technologies are complex, and they may lead to destruction of soil texture and fertility characteristics (Abdulsalam et al 2011), compared to bioremediation processes which are gaining ground due to their simplicity, higher efficiency, and cost-effectiveness (Yousefi Kebria et al 2009). One such technology was developed at the turn of the twentyfirst century in the Gulf of Mexico region, which uses simple methods and locally available materials, machinery, and know-how, thereby greatly increasing ease of implementation, and reducing costs (Adams 2004a(Adams , 2008.…”

“…To overcome the limitations of these physico-chemical technologies, bioremediation can prove to be an effective and eco-friendly technology which makes use of either indigenous bacteria or introduces exogenous bacterial cultures capable of degrading the contaminant. It has many advantages over physicochemical methods for it being eco-friendly, safe, gives complete mineralization of pollutant which in turn conserves soil texture and characteristics and is also costeffective (Salleh et al 2003;Abdulsalam et al 2011). Many microbial strains are capable of degrading specific hydrocarbon compounds.…”
