The Availability of Energy Sources for Baeterl1 Metabolism/Growth. The oil-consuming bacteria do so by producing extracellular digestive enzymes which attack the petroleum molecule, break it down into smaller pieces, and render it more easily metabolized. The process of metabolism releases energy which in turn makes the biodegradation process move more swiftly. If nutrients and metabolic enzymes are added to the contaminated soil, the bacteria can more swiftly accelerate their digestive activities. The faster the metabolic process develops, the more energy is released to further speed up the reaction; a positive-feedback closed-loop system develops, with an increase in the rate of petroleum cleanup by a factor of some thirty times or more. Some petroleum product not readily degradable by bacteria is transformed by co- metabolism into more readily degradable forms. By providing a variety of carbon-sources for bacterial metabolism. FyreZyme enables the existing bacteria, both oil-degrading and non-oil-degrading to increase their metabolic activity, creating a high energy system far in excess of that prior to such treatment. By providing a rich supply of extracellular enzymes, FyreZyme further accelerates the petroleum breakdown and favors the growth of oil-consuming bacteria. The Availability of Oxygen in Sufficient Quantity to Support Metabolism \%--'As the vast majority of petroleum breakdown is performed by bacteria that utilize oxygen in their metabolic processes, it is necessary to ensure that oxygen is available in suitable quantities. This is provided in the upper soil layers (2 ft.) by mixing FyreZyme with surface water, oxygenated aquifer water, and or a combination of water and atmospheric air which is naturally rich in oxygen. If the contamination is deep in the soil and the conditions are anaerobic, a combination of FyreZyme, oxygenated water, air, and other sources of oxygen can be injected. Hydrogen peroxide starting at 0.05% can be used for oxygenation without adversely affecting the bacterial colonies. Ozone has special toxic qualities which make its' use more difficult. Movement of the nutrient and oxygen through the deeper layers of the vadose and beyond can be accomplished by strategically sited injection/recovey wells. Addition of FyreZyme to soil venting operations has proven extremely beneficial. It can be seen that treatment of excavated material is the most efficient for aerobic bioremediation, but similar results can be obtained by in-situ application of the FyreZyme used in conjunction with air injection, sparging, venting, and a wide variety of other technologies suitable to provide oxygen in deeper soil layers.
