Biobattery technology applied in a solar thermal plant

Under the supervision of Litoclean, the research team of the Department of Microbiology of the University of Barcelona carried out feasibility and treatability tests on the soil of a solar thermal plant affected by a thermal fluid spill.

The tests included the enumeration of total and thermal oil degrading microbiota and their efficacy against different environmental conditions:

-Oxygen availability

-% humidity

-Nutrients

-Inoculants

-Soil-loosening agents

Once the parameters optimizing microbial activity at this particular site have been determined, the Litoclean team will start reclamation work on the affected land with the progressive implementation of static and dynamic biopiles.
