Technology Description:

Bio-Genesis Technologies has developed a solid phase bioremediation technology to treat hydrocarbon impacted soils. Bio-GT typically develops a treatment cell constructed by installing a plastic liner with earthen berms. The contaminated soil is placed in the cell at a depth of 12 to 18 inches and spread evenly. Bio-GT's GT1000 hydrocarbon bacteria are applied to the soil at a rate of one gallon per cubic yard. Nutrients and water are added as required. The soil is rototilled once a week and moisture is kept at about 25 percent.

          The different formulations of microbes that Bio-Genesis Technologies develops are naturally occurring, non-pathogenic and endemic to the earth. We use a process of selection and adaptation to identify the bacteria species with the highest propensity to degrade the targeted organic compound. To effectively degrade the various types of hazardous waste contaminants, microbiologists at Bio-GT blend several different types of microbes that have been selectively adapted and enhanced.

          The custom blending of microbial species are put into a synergistic mixture or blend. For example, our GT-1000 HC product blend has microbes targeted to degrade crude oil, BTEX, and diesel fuel. The GT-1000 HC product metabolizes short and long chain hydrocarbons found in contaminated soil and water and converts the wastes into safe by-products of carbon dioxide and water.

          The cost savings using our bioremediation products are substantial -- 50 percent to 70 percent over incineration and landfilling not to mention 25 percent to 40 percent less expensive than vapor extraction.

Performance Status:

          Bio-Genesis Technologies' systems and microbial applications have been demonstrated successfully at bench-scale, pilot-scale, and full-scale. Full scale systems were used to treat soil, sludge, and wastewater contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, aromatics, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Our microbial products are being used by engineering companies throughout the United States for bioremediating hazardous waste sites.

          Limitations:

          The Bio-Genesis Technologies process and microbes will not degrade inorganic or synthetic compounds. But its overall effectiveness is not affected by inorganic compounds that are present in low concentrations.

          The systems used to treat various sites may require a biotreatability study from our company before application of our microbial cultures to determine all the parameters that must be kept during treatment.

          The efficiency of eliminating the contaminants will vary with temperature, moisture, site geological and chemical characteristics. If a biotreatability analysis is performed, a treatment application outline can be given to ensure optimal efficiency in degrading the contaminants to cleanup levels.
