| | Bioremediation of oily sludge and soil and ground water pollution monitoring at Mathura Refinery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | Out of the five bacterial strains, two strains degrade the saturated hydrocarbon fraction of oily sludge; the third strain degrades the NSO (nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen) containing hydrocarbon fraction of oily sludge; the fourth strain degrades aromatic and PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons); and, the fifth strain degrades the asphaltene fraction of oily sludge. |
 | | In Block A the biodegradation of saturated hydrocarbons fraction was 54.8%, aromatic fraction was 31.2%, NSO fraction was 3.1% and asphaltene fraction was 4.60% in six months. |
 | | In Block C, 95.6% TPH of oily sludge biodegraded in six months of which the degraded saturated hydrocarbon fraction was 54.7%, aromatic fraction was 33.7%, NSO fraction was 3.2%, and asphaltene fraction was 5.0%. |
