Abstract
Nowadays, the problem of the environment protection from pollution resulting from the spill of crude oil and products of oil processing, in particular reduced fuel oil, is very acute in the fuel and energy industry. An experimental study of the process of reduced fuel oil biodegradation in soil at various concentrations of pollution (5 and 10 g/kg), by the association of native oil-oxidizing microorganisms, was carried out in this work. Based on the obtained experimental data, a mathematical model is proposed that can be used to describe the process of biodegradation of reduced fuel oil and the concentration dynamics of oil-oxidizing microorganisms in contaminated soil. The results of numerical modeling demonstrated a fairly good qualitative and quantitative agreement with the results of experimental studies. The use of the developed mathematical model at the early stages of cleaning will make it possible to evaluate the results of various scenarios for cleaning soils contaminated with fuel oil, oil or oil products using native oil-oxidizing microorganisms and choose the most effective method. Keywords: reduced fuel oil; oil-contaminated soil; native oil-oxidizing microorganisms; mathematical modeling.
