• Improved uptake of plant nutrients through accelerated mineralization of organics in the soil
• Plant photosynthesis Increased
• Uptake of phosphorous greatly improved
• Both yield and production of crops greatly improved
• Microbial biodiversity and soil health are both improved significantly
• What would normally take 10 years, a 66% increase in SOC (soil organic compounds), is accomplished in 6 months.

HOW SOILSINEW® SOIL REMEDIATION INCREASES SOIL ORGANIC MATTER:

• Scientists agree that, when it comes to technology, nothing can beat naturally occurring soil microbes, which are capable of improving carbon sequestration in the soil as well as improving the soil’s capacity to store CO2.
• At the time of the writing, between 44% and 57% of all CO2 emissions are created by conventional and industrial agricultural practices. This has had a great detriment on the soil, where beneficial soil microbes have been reduced to a paltry, unhealthy 1000 to 5000 CFUs (colony forming units) per gram of soil.
• Although the time-frame is not optimal, the comparison of organically farmed silt loam soil to conventional methods is astounding; in a 12 to 15 years time-span, upwards of 1 MILLION CFU’s per gram of soil can be achieved.
• Today, we can achieve those levels in 30 days or less, and industry first, generating massive colonies of microbes using our microbial fertilizer that are both regenerative and sustainable, and produce upwards of 1 Million CFU’s in less than a month’s time.

INCREASING SOIL ORGANIC CARBON: (CONT.)

• Our microbial fertilizer has many other benefits, including larger root biomasses, better absorption of carbohydrates and CO2, and the ability to deliver higher amounts of carbon from crop residues.
• A wide variety of extensive microbial life allows for the sequestration of a variety of carbon forms, causing increased mineralization, the transition into nitrate nitrogen and other fertilizers, and long-term storage of these carbons in the soil, which makes uptake by plants when needed much easier.
• Indeed, a 66% increase of OC (Soil Organic Carbon) in less than 6 months is, from what scientists say, something that should normally take upwards of 10 years to achieve.
• Increasing soil microbes on a scale this large or of comparable magnitude is impossible with any other product or technology on the market today.

REGULATORY LIMITS FOR HEAVY METALS

WHAT ARE THE TRADITIONAL SOIL REMEDIATION TREATMENTS?

• Unfortunately, when large areas of soil are contaminated and need to be treated, the expense is quite prohibitive, even if performed in situ, or on-site. Ex situ (off-site) is even more expensive, since the soil must be removed and then treated at another location.
• These treatments include:

oLong – term monitoring with vitrification

oExcavation, transport and landfilling, with vitrification

oTreating the soil chemically and recycling the contaminats

oElectrokinectics with vitrification

oPhytoextraction with vitrification

• It is also unfortunate that, once heavy metals are introduced into a soil environment, they will remain there unless physically removed. Unlike most carbon-based molecules, which are organic, heavy metals do not degrade over time, with the exception of selenium and mercury, both of which can be volatilized by microorganisms and transformed.

HEAVY METAL SOURCES, AND CYCLING, IN THE ECOSYSTEM (SOIL – WATER – AIR)

THE IDEAL COMBINATION FOR HEALTHY CLEAN SOIL:

FORAGE SEEDS + SOIL REMEDIATION + NATURE VIGOR + CARBON LIQUID

MICROBIAL/OIL ASSAY SYNOPSIS:

Legend:  + = Week Activity  ++ = Moderate Activity  +++ = Strong Activity

RESULTS:

Alkane bioremediation assay results :

Using an alkan remediation assay, reduction and remediation of hydrocarbons in a heavy oil sample was demonstrated by our petroleum microbes.  After incubating in petri plate for 72 hours, our microbial coating began to form colonies around and throughout the heavy oil hydrocarbon substrate that was present.  This demonstrates that alkane, as well as more complex hydrocarbons, were being digested and metabolized by the microbial colonies that were formed. In both oil samples the microbial colonies demonstrated significant growth.

Microbial Growth on Alkane Assay Results:

In this test, the oil samples were split into untreated control samples and treated samples, whereafter the treated samples received an inoculation of 7 million CFU/ml of microbes.  Over the course of the following 6 days readings were taken via spectrophotometer to measure the absorbance values of the samples, which demonstrated a disturbance in wavelength through the test tube, suggesting increased microbial growth concentrations that were, in effect, interfering with spectrophotometer’s light pathway.

Throughout the 6 day period, starting on day 1, there was a significant increase in the treated oil samples versus untreated, including microbial mass, and color (which darkened).  The results showed that carbons from the hydrocarbon chains (as measured by globule formations) were being utilized and metabolized by the microbes, with a resultant smaller hydrocarbon chains and more early moveable oil.

* Increasing Bacterial Absorbance readings equate to increasing micorbial growth on hydrocarbons as a carbons and food source.

** Maintained at 190oF

DATA ON GLOBULE INFORMATION:

• Both microbial treated samples demonstrated significant small oil globule formation.
• The results show that healthy bacterial action is the key to improved oil recovery in heavy oil reservoirs, resulting in an oil surface area that is greatly increased.
• It must be noted that this process, like any other, is not immediate, but will take time dependent on various factors, including temperature and environment.
• The alkaline degradation pathway was shown to further reduce oil globules through microbial action.
