BIOREMEDIATION

We offer Bioremediation suitable for the safe, effective, and thorough removal of oil and fuel spills

Bioremediation

Bioremediation is an innovative form of oil spill cleaning which uses aerobic and anaerobic bacteria to consume oil, completely removing the oil and odour in a fast, efficient, and eco-friendly manner. Here at Spilltech Environmental Ltd, our team are experts in the oil cleaning industry, providing high-quality services that put your peace of mind and the safety of your property at the heart of everything we do.

Our Bioremediation Products contain naturally-occurring bacteria that can consume oil and all odours at an astonishing rate. This is primarily achieved due to the patented (US Patent: 6,267,888) delivery mechanism that enables the bacteria to overcome the acclimatization barrier during the initial phase of the spill through bio dispersion. This sets in motion a process of accelerated bioremediation that results in almost 90% reduction of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) within 3 weeks’ time. These microbes consume the oil by converting them into harmless water and carbon dioxide through bio dispersion and assimilation.

Once the contaminating oil or food for microbes is consumed, the bacteria die a natural death, without leaving behind any residue for disposal. Our products contain naturally occurring bacteria and do not contain any genetically modified forms. By using bioremediation to remove oil spills, your property is not affected by traditional methods of digging or physical damage, meaning a cheaper, quicker, more reliable, and safer form of oil cleaning for your space.
