  BIOBASED INDUSTRY, BIOECONOMY & BLUE GROWTH - Convegno

  Combating marine oil spills (Final Conference of the KILL SPILL project)

   Organized by: Kill Spill partners, EFB and CTS Ecomondo
  
  
  The FP7-project Kill•Spill delivers innovative (bio)-technologies for the clean-up oil spills. Kill•Spill develops technologies aiming at intensified biodegradation processes through bioaugmentation/ biostimulation as follow-up to mechanical emergency response and/or long-term actions in aerobic/slight anoxic compartments. Kill•Spill also develops (bio)-technologies adapted for the remediation of anoxic/anaerobic fresh & chronically polluted sediments. Kill•Spill compiles knowledge on dispersion/sorption and biodegradation processes to produce multifunctional products, which are suited for follow-up and long-term actions. The multifunctional products address the necessity for integrated bioremediation (bioavailability, metabolic requirements, etc.) and are efficient along the whole redox gradient from surface water to sediments.
