Ambra Decontamination

•

Andreas Thoma

The document describes a biological solution called AMBRA clean for decontaminating oil-polluted soil. AMBRA clean is injected into the soil where it emulsifies hydrocarbon chains and dissolves the oil into tiny water droplets. This serves to break down the oil using bacteria already present in the soil. The solution provides nutrients that allow bacteria to multiply and degrade the hydrocarbons completely within a few days, leaving no toxic byproducts. AMBRA clean has been successfully used since 1998 to decontaminate oil-polluted soil and groundwater.

Biological Sustainable Solution Decontamination of Oil Polluted Soil
Solution for the decontamination of oil polluted soil AMBRA clean * (*by Biosativa) AMBRA clean is excellently suited for the decontamination of oil polluted soils AMBRA clean is 100 % biodegradable AMBRA GmbH © Copyright. All rights reserved. 2

Process description AMBRA clean is injected into the soil. The pumping process emulsifies the hydrocarbon chains completely. The emulsion is pumped through the soil using the hydrologic cycle. The surface tension of the oil is fully reduced, consequently it dissolves completely in water. The resulting water-oil mixture consists of the tiniest droplets. The tiny droplets of oil remian on the surface of the ground water from where they are pumped out. AMBRA GmbH © Copyright. All rights reserved. 4
Process description The residuals in the soil can be exploited by bacteria. AMBRA clean serves as a nutrient for natural bacteria that are already present in the contaminated soil and contains a cocktail of nutrients for microorganisms to accelerate the degradation process. As a consequence, the bacteria multiply and accelerate the degradation of the hydrocarbons. Therefore, we allow the environment to complete its natural decomposition process reduced to a period of a few days. In this decomposition process there are no toxic / polluting byproducts.

Characteristics of AMBRA clean* (*by Biosativa) Made from natural renewable raw materials (mainly concentrate from yeast and vegetable oil). Prepared without fat acid chlorides or other environmentally harmful additives. The use of natural ingredients leads to the highest microbial compatibility of the products (prerequisite for biodegradation) and residue-free and rapid complete biodegradability. 85 % in 3 days 100 % in 15 - 20 days AMBRA GmbH © Copyright.
