dc.description.abstract |
Thirty years of research into petroleum microbiology and bioremediation have
bypassed an important observation – that many hydrocarbon contaminated sites
posing potential risks to human health harbour weathered, ‘mid-distillate’ or
heavy oils rather than ‘fresh product’ (Pollard, 2003). Ex-situ biopiling is an
important technology for treating soils contaminated with weathered
hydrocarbons. However, its performance continues to be represented by reference
to reductions in the hydrocarbon ‘load’ in the soils being treated, rather than
reductions in the risks posed by the hydrocarbon contamination (Owens and
Bourgouin, 2003; Tien et al., 1999). The absence of ‘risk’ from the vocabulary
of many operators and remediation projects reduces stakeholder (regulatory,
investor, landowner, and public) confidence in remediation technologies, and
subsequently limits the market potential of these technologies. Stakeholder
confidence in the biopiling of weathered hydrocarbons may be improved by
demonstrating process optimisation within a validated risk man |
