ABSTRACT:
Oil is removed from sea water, for example, in the cleaning of tanks of oil transport ships, by utilizing bacteria or cell-free solutions from such bacteria in a confined space with the addition of a source of nitrogen and a source of phosphorus, under aerated conditions. The resultant microbial fermentation converts the oil to protein-containing by-products making it possible to discharge the contents of the tanks without oil contamination and, if desired, to recover useful by-products.
