METHOD OF REMOVAL OIL PRODUCTS FROM CONTAMINANTS Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B09C1/10 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to microbiological cleaning of environments. Proposed method comprises introduction of consortium of oil oxidant microorganisms along with introduction of mineral nutrients. Said oil oxidant microorganisms represent strains of bacteria Rhodococcus qingchengii All Russian Collection of Industrial Microorganisms AC-1877, strain of bacteria Rhodococcus erythopolis All Russian Collection of Industrial Microorganisms AC-1878 and strain of yeasts Rhodotorula mucilaginosa All Russian Collection of Industrial Microorganisms Y-3604. Consortium of said oil oxidants is introduced into contaminated medium in amount of 0.2-0.5 wt % of contaminant mass. Note here that along with oil oxidant microorganisms and mineral nutrient introduced in contaminated medium, introduced is surfactant in amount of 0.2-0.5 % of contaminant mass.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of oil products removal.
