[An off site petroleum-contaminated soil bioremediation technology: soil compositing in windrow].

With off-site bioremediation technology, a soil contaminated by crude oil from Liaohe Oil Field was treated on a 20 x 10 m prepared bed. 8 composting windrow units were set, each measured 8 m in length, 2 m in width, and 0.35 m in height. The results showed that when the pollutant petroleum hydrocarbon(TPH) was within the range of 4.16-7.72 g.100 g-1 soil, the total degradation rate of TPH reached 45.19%-56.74% after 53 days operation, which indicated that a technological basis would be provided for the bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil.
