An inoculum of microbial consortium containing live microorganisms is described. More particularly, the enviro-tolerant methane-producing microbial consortium and a method for the production of biogas having high methane content from organic wastes and biomass slurries are described. The microbial consortium of the present disclosure produces stable biogas production without any seasonal variation impact.

Microbial consortium for enhancing the methane production from feedstock

The present invention relates to a device for bioassisted conversion of carbon dioxide to organic compounds that can be used a fuels and chemicals. The present invention also relates to a bioassisted process of converting carbon dioxide to organic compounds.

Device and method for conversion of carbon dioxide to organic compounds

The present invention relates to a process of conversion of waste streams of petroleum refinery into industrially useful products.

Bio-conversion of refinery waste streams

The present invention relates to a bio-assisted method for treatment of spent caustic by treating with haloalkaliphilic consortium of bacteria capable of reducing or transforming sulphides, thiols, mercaptants and other sulphur containing compounds, phenols, hydrocarbons, naphthenic acids and their derivatives in spent caustic.

Bio-assisted process for the treatment and regeneration of spent caustic

The present invention provides a cost effective biotechnological process for production of bio-fuels from isolated and characterized microalgae. The algal strains used in the present invention having higher biomass, higher lipid productivity, higher pH and temperature tolerance are selected from the group consisting ofiOC-1,iOC-2,andor a combination thereof having 95-100% similarity with 18s ribosomal nucleic acids nucleotide sequences (rDNA) given for Seq. ID I, Seq. ID 2, Seq. ID 3, Seq. ID 4, Seq. ID 5 and Seq. ID 6. The present process of bio-fuel production comprises the steps of producing lipid from green algae in bioreactors by various novel steps and extracting oil from dried algal cells and ultimately producing biodiesel by transesterification of the said extracted oil.

Process for producing lipids suitable for biofuels

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

Provided is a method of treating a hydrocarbon-contaminated soil/gravel with a blend of microbes by adding a first microbe selected from the group consisting ofstrain IOCX,strain IOC DHT and mixtures thereof to a hydrocarbon-contaminated soil/gravel to release the hydrocarbon; and adding a second microbe selected from the group consisting ofstrain IOC5al,strain IOCRl,and a mixture thereof to degrade the released hydrocarbon.

Method for bio-assisted treatment of hydrocarbon contaminated soil

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.
