  Evaluation on Bioremediation Kinetics of Petroleum- Contaminated Soils Using Plant-Based Amendments

  By Achinike Okogbule-Wonodi, Umah Matthew Kingdom

  Abstract: The effectiveness of bioremediation processes is strongly influenced by environmental conditions, reactor design parameters, microbial characteristics, and pollutant properties. This study investigates the combined effects of environmental-related factors, reactor design considerations, organism- related characteristics, and pollutant properties on the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in swampy and clay soils amended. Laboratory-scale remediation experiments were conducted over an 84-day period using amendment dosages ranging from 20 to 100 g. The …

  The Strength of Dry, Fresh and Decomposed Raffia Palm Trunk in the Bioremediation of Oil-based Drill Cutting

  By Achinike Okogbule-Wonodi, Bright Nweke, Chinwendu Emeka

  Abstract: In this research, the impact of dry drill cuttings and compost tea on the environment's ability to degrade oil-based drill cutting contamination is investigated. The experiment was conducted in the research center located at the workshop of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering Department, Rivers State University, Port Harcourt. Oil-based drill cutting samples were placed in bulk in eleven reactors (T1, T2, T3-T11) with four replications. The original drill cuttings' physiochemical characteristics …
