Intensification of Ex Situ Bioremediation of Soils Polluted with Used Lubricant Oils: A Comparison of Biostimulation and Bioaugmentation with a Special Focus on the Type and Size of the Inoculum

Abstract: Used lubricant oils (ULOs) strongly bind to soil particles and cause persistent pollution. In this study, soil microcosm experiments were conducted to model the ex situ bioremediation of a long term ULO-polluted area. Biostimulation and various inoculation levels of bioaugmentation were applied to determine the efficacy of total petrol hydrocarbon (TPH) removal. ULO-contaminated soil microcosms were monitored for microbial respiration, colony-forming units (CFUs) and TPH bioconversion. Biostimulation with inor… Show more

“…When LNAPL levels drop somewhat as a result of pumping action, the slurp tube removes vapors (vapor extraction) (Speight, 2018). All the liquids (solution of product and groundwater) extracted from a slurp tube are routed to the oil/water separator, while the vapors are routed to the liquid/vapor separator (Bodor et al, 2020).…”

“…The involvement of well-adaptive autochthonous microorganisms is the major advantage of using this approach. Recently, it has been suggested that both these techniques can be also applied ex situ though classified into in situ bioremediation approach [137].…”
