METHOD OF CLEANING WATER FROM PETROLEUM AND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS

摘要

FIELD: chemistry. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology and methods of cleaning salty and fresh water from petroleum and petroleum products. The method involves addition to contaminated water of a microbial preparation which consists of a mixture of natural hydrocarbon-oxidising cultures of microorganisms, which are isolated through selection from a natural biocenosis of microorganisms, where the preparation used is based on a biocenosis of microorganisms inhabiting sea brown algae of at least one genus. ^ EFFECT: invention increases the rate and efficiency of cleaning water from petroleum and petroleum products even with high salt concentration and relatively low temperature, including in regions with a short warm period. ^ 2 cl, 10 ex
