Naturally occurring, hydrocarbon-degrading, microbes are perhaps the best tools in our arsenal to clean up the oil that is currently polluting the tidal marshes, rivers and beaches of Louisiana. I am dismayed by the apparent lack of attention being paid to employing microbial agents in the fight to save the gulf coast from the devastating effects of the oil spill. One such microbial product called Biorem-2000 Oil Digester (produced in South Carolina) has been approved in several US states for use in oil clean up operations. For example, in the states of Utah and Georgia, Biorem is being injected into the ground at multiple sites where oil has contaminated ground water.
Please contact Dennis Woods of Industrial Fluids Management at DWoods@IndustrialFluidsManagement.com to discuss details of Biorem 2000 Oil Digester and approaches to employ it on the oil that is currently polluting the beaches and pristine wetlands of Louisiana. Bioremediation must be made a major component of the strategy.
