Description
The bio-preparation technology for cleaning of oil pollution
is developed based on the association of micromycetes
from the Caspian Sea. In bio-preparation, suggested
strains’ activity is directed to degrade different fractions of
oil pollution in water and soil, up-to simple products of
degradation, which can further be degraded by native microorganisms.
It was also added into the bio-preparation
sawdust and biogenic substances. The preparation keeps
active in a wide range of medium acidity and temperature.
Bio-preparation can be applied in case of oil pollution in
water and soil. Effectiveness of its application in laboratory
conditions reaches 75-90%.
Innovative Aspects and Main Advantages
• Bio-preparation is ecologically perspective and safe
because of absence of toxic components;
• Bio-preparation is economically sound because of absence
of expensive components for its development
and possibility for using of bio-preparation several
times;
• Main component of bio-preparation is a developed association
of filamentous fungi from the Caspian Sea;
• Simplicity in its application: bio-preparation can be
used after drying and storing and in freshly prepared
form as well;
• Developed bio-preparation has capacity to degrade
different fractions of oil pollution in a short period;
• Developed bio-preparation can be applied in sea and
fresh water, and also in soil with longstanding oil pollution
and in case of emergently occurred disaster of
oil spill.
Areas of Application
The invention with a dedication to biotechnology field is applied
for the creation of the ecologically safe microbiological
bio-preparation to clean oil pollution in water and soil.
Developed technology can be used for oil pollution cleaning
and restoration of oil polluted landscapes.
