ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for enhanced bioremediation of hydrocarbons removed from a contaminated object comprising: (a) a basin for cleansing said hydrocarbon-contaminated object, said basin having a means for introducing a recycling bioremediating cleaning solution (NATURES WAY PC.TM.) for washing said object, a means for draining said solution from said basin into a biochamber reservoir and a means for screening particles from said solution upon entry into said reservoir; and (b) said reservoir having a means for temperature control between 90.degree. to 112.degree. F., means for aerating said solution, means for agitating said solution, an outlet means to a plurality of filters for filtering said solution, an inlet means from said filters and means for removing filtered sediments. The device and method promote continuous microbial bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminants in a self-propagating manner while cleaning the solution and filtering sediment without generating an environmentally dangerous waste trail. The cleaning solution comprises microorganisms of the genus Achromobacter, Actinobacter, Alcaligenes, Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Nocardia, Flavobacterium, Pseudomonas and mixtures thereof.
