Crude Oil In
Irrigation Water
Project #772
California
USA
–
A citrus ranch used well water for irrigating the trees.
The water was pumped into a 2-acre holding pond prior to going through
the filtration system. The aquifer
had crude oil seeping into the well area that would end up in the holding pond.
BioWorld
Products were applied to the pond surface as a regular maintenance program and
the crude oil was no longer visible. The
filtration back-flush system had no indications of petroleum hydrocarbons.
