The present invention provides a bio-augmentation composition for improving the hydrocarbon degradation efficiency of effluent treatment plant for hydrocarbon degradation in wastewater generated from hydrocarbon processing industry and a method thereof. The composition comprises a synergistic combination of selective microorganisms to develop a consortium enabling effective degradation of hydrocarbons present in wastewater and converting thereof into harmless and environment friendly substances. The invention also provides for the said microorganisms and their isolations.

Bio-augmentation composition and use thereof for improving efficiency of effluent treatment in hydrocarbon processing plant

Disclosed herein is a method for biopile-based bioremediation of hydrocarbon waste with high aromatic content. The method comprises of isolating specific microorganisms and preparing microbial blend, preparing biopile, adding the microbial blend into the biopile, providing nutrient, aeration and watering of biopile.

Method for bioremediation of highly aromatic hydrocarbon wastes

The invention describes process for demetallation of vegetable oils and animal fats to reduce metal content below 1 ppm to make them suitable for hydroprocessing feedstocks. The process comprises acid treatment with very low concentration of acids, utilizing synergistic effect of phosphoric acid and citric acid, followed by counter-current treatment with clay without intermediate step of water washing and treatment with ion exchange resin.

Process for removal of metals from oils/fats

Disclosed herein a process for upgrading the liquid hydrocarbon fuels by reducing aromatic content, sulfur content and nitrogen content wherein the process comprising isolating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) transforming microbes and preparing biocatalyst by mutagenesis, contacting the biocatalyst with the liquid hydrocarbon fuel in an aqueous medium for transforming the aromatic, sulfur, and nitrogen containing compounds to polar substances, subjecting the mixture of biocatalyst and the liquid hydrocarbon fuel to a process of bioconversion, removing the polar substances by liquid-liquid extraction with a polar solvent to obtain dearomatized, desulphurised and denitrogenated liquid hydrocarbon fuel and recovering the upgraded liquid hydrocarbon fuel.
