Answer 1

Bioremediation can be a viable mechanism for treating soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. Bioremediationstrategies range from encouraging natural biodegradation processes (biostimulation), to supplementing the existing system with microorganisms able to degrade the contamination (bioaugmentation), to monitoring and verifying natural processes (natural attenuation). Application of bioremediation technologies are customized to specific site characteristics, as contaminated soil may be excavated for on- or off-site treatment at surface facilities (ex situ) or treated in place (in situ).
