Oil Spill Remediation – How to Achieve this Successfully

CatalinaBiosolutions offers chemical oxidation as a remediation solution for an oil spill. The success of oil spill cleanup lies within the oil spill remediation process.

CatalinaBiosolutions stands out for their expert oil spill clean up with the use of chemical oxidation on individual contaminants. Over the years, CatalinaBioSolutions have had a lot of success with chemical oxidation.

There are different methods used in oil clean up, depending on the contaminants. Hydrogen peroxide and Calcium peroxide are the predominant chemicals used in oil spills cleanup. It is often the combination of methods and chemicals that is successful in cleaning up oil spills.

Each cleanup has different effects on the soil. The degrading of certain contaminants can happen when using Hydrogen peroxide and Fenton’s Reagent and can have a long-term negative effect on soil, rendering it impossible to polish up with microbes. CatalinaBiosolutions is regularly asked to clean a site previously treated with hydrogen peroxide. Unfortunately once the soil is ruined, it’s a hopeless cause.

Oil spills clean up requires the use of a lot of water. Most people do not realize the amount of water that is needed to remediate a contaminated site using bioremediation products, microbial products and nutrients. One cubic yard of soil is equivalent to 201 gallons of water. We prefer moisture levels to be at least 20%, if not higher. (The scientific measurement is that if you can make a mud ball with your hands, the soil has about a 20% moisture level). So, 20% of 201 gallons is about 40 gallons. That’s how much water is needed per 40 yards of treatment.

Some success has also been achieved with the use of an oxidizer to clean up oil spill. At CatalinaBiosolutions we offer a specific oxidizer as part of our method to clean up oil that totally dissipates in forty hours. Another effective method of treatment involves the use of our unique microbes. This has been very successful.

Many companies utilize calcium peroxide as an oxygen source, for the reason that it is a slow-release product that is advertised as “passive.” This calcium peroxide that is used to cleanup oil spill is expensive, but it can work. The big objection to it is that it creates a very high pH, around 12, which kills most bacteria, both home-grown and augmented. It is also a very lengthy process. This could turn out to be a costly method.
