Pioneering technology to clean oil contaminated sites discussed
The CEO of ONGC-TERI Biotech Ltd (OTBL), Dr Banwari Lal, called
on Indian Ambassador H.E. Ajai Malhotra to brief about his company's
bioremediation and microbial enhanced oil recovery services. OTBL
combines the strengths of ONGC, a Fortune Global 500 company, and
TERI, a prestigious institute developing state of the art
technologies. Ambassador Malhotra was informed about the
bioremediation and eco-restoration demonstration project that had
effectively cleaned up a 4,900 sq. mt. tar sludge contaminated site
in Burgan South, Kuwait, using KT-OILZAPPER, a customized technology
that utilizes naturally occurring microbial strains indigenous to
Kuwait. The patented OILZAPPER bioremediation process, using
indigenous microbes based on type and level of contamination and
local geo-climatic conditions, has received international acclaim
and has bio-remediated 200,000 metric tonnes of petroleum wastes
till date. |
