PUCCI, Graciela N; ACUNA, Adrián J  and  PUCCI, Oscar H. Electro bioremediación de fondos de tanques petrolerosElectro bioremedation of oil bottoms tank. Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2013, vol.20, n.2, pp.199-201. ISSN 1727-9933.

The aim of this study was to use a voltage difference to increase the bioavailability of hydrocarbons presents in the bottom sediments of oil tank. This experiment was carried out in a glass cuba with three compartment communicated by phosphate-buffered saline bridges that allowed the voltage difference and maintained the soil pH at optimum values for bacterial life. After several 4 days the bioavailability of hydrocarbon was increased by 18.8% in the area near the anode and 5.5% in the area near the cathode

Keywords : Oil tank; electrobioremedation; hydrocarbon bioavailability; bioremediation.
