Abstract
The biodegradation rate of petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil was evaluated by the effect of temperature variation through bioaugmentation and biostimulation. In this study, biokinetics of batch-, pilot-, and field-scale biodegradation were performed by the optimization of enhanced biodegradation, minimizing the inhibitory effects of seasonal variations such as the rainy and cold winter seasons. From the relationship between remedial timescale and initial concentration, the biokinetic isolines of the biodegradation were smaller in the winter than those in the other seasons. The scale-up of biodegradation process led to enhance its activation energy, and then the field-scale remedial action should be performed in the way to lower the activation energy from the chemical diffusion and microbial activation. Therefore, a remedial or field worker can obtain the remedial timescale from the given apparent data of biokinetics with respect to initial TPH concentration only after the simple remedial investigation.
