Site Characteristics• No source of electrical power

• Sea access only• Remote location• Limited availability of equipment, materials and manpower• Hydrocarbon contamination – 25,000 m3

• Biological treatment was preferred solution

Keys of Biological Treatment• O2 is required to maximise the degradation of contaminants

• Heat is required to sustain microbial activity• Nitrogen and Phosphorous• Neutral pH, loose structure and moisture content
