Abstract
ABSTRACT The landfarming treatment for the remediation of the petroleum contaminated soil at the returned U.S. Military bases wasinvestigated in this study. Specifically, the bioaugmentation performance using various commercially available petroleum-degrading bacteria was evaluated and the directions for enhancing the performance of the landfarming treatment weresuggested. The environmental factors of the soils at the returned U.S. Military bases chosen for remediation indicate thatthe landfarming treatment can be used as the remediation technique; however, the addition of nitrogen or phosphorus isrequired. The lab-scale landfarming treatment tests using the model soil and the site soil showed that the degradationefficiency was greater with the model soil than the site soil and that the treatment performance was not affected by thenumber of bacteria present in the soil in the range of 10 6 -10 12 CFU/g. These results suggest that the successful landfarmingtreatment depends on the petroleum degradability of bacteria used and the environmental conditions during the treatmentrather than the number of petroleum-degrading bacteria used. Key words: Landfarming, Petroleum-contaminated soil, Soil remediation, Petroleum-degrading bacteria, Contaminantaging
