Mineral oil dielectric fluid (MODF) has replaced PCB oil as the insulating medium in electrical transformers. Although eliminating PCBs has reduced the environmental impact resulting from transformer leaks, soil contaminated with mineral oil still often requires remediation. This project presents the results of laboratory application of seven biological treatment regimes to soil contaminated with mineral oil. The results demonstrate the expected extent of mineral oil biodegradation, change in chemical composition of the mineral oil, rate of biodegradation, and key engineering requirements associated with the process.
