METHOD OF MICROBIOLOGICAL NEUTRALISATION OF OIL SLIMES AND OIL-CONTAMINATED SOILS Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B09C1/06 B09C1/10 C02F11/02 C12N1/26 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of environment protection in the sphere of oil and gas production and oil and gas processing industries, in particular, to microbiological neutralisation of oil slimes and oil-contaminated soils with application of thermal energy from flares when associated petroleum gas is burnt. The method includes preparation of a process site in the area of optimal heat exposure of a flare, arrangement of oil slime and oil-contaminated soil previously prepared for microbiological neutralisation. The preliminary treatment consists in addition of a biopreparation and an organic-mineral fertiliser. Periodically the produced mix is tilled and irrigated. A heat source to maintain optimal conditions of oil-containing wastes biodegrading is the heat energy of flares from burning of associated petroleum gas.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to considerably increase the period of time to neutralise oil slime, to intensify process of microbiological oil destruction, to reduce negative effect of heat energy at ambient environment, to ensure application of unused heat energy.
