Biotechnological removal of oil and polymeric reagents from drilling wastes

摘要

A microbial consortium of Rhodococcus erythropolis AS 1339 D, Bacillus subtilis 1742 D(16), and Pseudomonas putida VKM-1301 (1 : 1 : 1) was tested for the ability to remove oil and polymeric reagents from drilling wastes under laboratory and field conditions. The bacteria intensified significantly the biological destruction of oil, polyacrylamide, and carboxymethylcellulose.
