Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of bioremediation in crude oil-contaminated soils from the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The research focuses on the degradation of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in both swampy and clay soils under the influence of various organic amendments, namely moringa seed shells and Elephant grass, combined with yeast and NPK fertilizer. The results highlight how varying the quantity of treatment applied influences the degradation rates of TPH. A significant correlation was found between the amount of organic amendment and the level of TPH degradation, emphasizing the importance of appropriate amendment application for effective bioremediation.
