Contaminated soil is a growing challenge. Agricultural land with compacted soil impedes root penetration and reduces crop yield, causing the grower to lose economic value. Environmental problems contaminated with oils and improperly disposed wastes are cause for concern that could threaten human health by tainting soil and water.

Soil bioremediation is a cost-effective, natural treatment process that uses naturally occurring microorganisms (yeast, fungi, or bacteria) to breakdown hazardous substances into less toxic or nontoxic substances. Hazardous substances that contaminate soil include petroleum, pesticides and heavy metals. Harnessing microorganisms as robust, environmentally-friendly cleanup agents in various practical situations is a key technology for sustainable environmental protection and stewardship.

Facultative microorganisms targeted for use in a broad spectrum of industries

The products comprise faster, cheaper and better environmentally sound biological solutions that benefit a broad spectrum of industries. Areas of use include:

• Soil bio-remediation
• Fast organic composting
• Degradation of toxic chemical
• Wastewater treatment e.g. paper mill
• Re-vegetation of abandoned mines
• Prevention of heavy metal contamination.

Bioil-D is a biological soil remediation agent. The technology is highly effective and cost competitive. Product use rate is recommended according to contamination degree expressed by measuring the TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons). Total treatment cost will depend on measured contamination degree and area to be treated.

Features & Benefits

• Increases efficiency of decomposition of oil-contaminants by 35~50%.
• Increases bioremediation method by 70~90% in in-situ method.
• Reduces chemicals by more than 40% for on-site bioremediation method.
• Shortens process period by 4 months compared to other bioremediation methods.

For the above reasons, Bioil-D is presently employed as a standard bioremediation method by oil companies such as LG-Caltex and SK-Oil in Korea


How Bioil-D works
Treatment process was administered in one-month. Visual results were seen at 2 months after treatment.

• Treatment: TPH concentration was 17,000 ppm (high contamination in @1,000 sqm area). Treatment amount was 2 L/m2 x 1 month at 5 zones = 800 Litre product used (each zone applied 5 Litres product per day).
• Result: Total volume of contaminated soil decreased by 79.2% by treatment of Bioil-D. Results assessed and shown in 3-D visualized TPH concentration.
