STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS The after effect of the application of inorganic fertilizer
to the environment. The inefficiency of natural attenuation to meet up the
restoration of an oil spilled environment. The destruction of the ecosystem due to crude oil
pollution When an oil spill occurs, there is complete depletion of
nutrients.
RESEARCH FOCUS
To evaluate the proficiency of bio waste in bio stimulation of microorganisms in the treatment of polluted environment

EVENT DATEE EVENT DESCRIPTION
B.C 600 Intricate network of sewers were built for collecting waste water which underwent subsequent biological treatment
1800 It was believed that disposing of waste into local rives would dilute the waste
1960 Oil degrading organisms came into focus1970 George Robinson repeatedly revised the process of
bioremediation with jars1972 The first commercial use of bioremediation system to cleanup
a oil pipeline in Pennsylvania. 1980 Commercialization of bioremediation began earnestly.1989 The technology was used on the shorelines after the Exxon
Valdex spill1990 Oil pollution act was passed by congress.2002 - 2015 Field and laboratory experiment commenced fully

CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH INORGANIC FERTILIZER APPLICATION
It is environmentally unfriendly It is relatively scarce and costly
BIOLOGICAL WASTE AS AMENDMENTS FOR ENHANCED BIOREMEDIATION
The waste serves as bulky agents which helps to increase porosity and permeability of the crude oil polluted environment which in turns promotes the free movement of oxygen, nitrogen and other nutrients thereby making it more accessible to the microorganisms.
The waste encompasses the activation of the activities of critical soil enzymes which would ultimately increase microbial population

WHY GREEN TECHNOLOGY? Sustainability: the process does produce waste that have no adverse and after effect to the
environment. It is environmental friendly. Viability: it is a technique that aims at creating a center of economic activity around
technologies in terms of pollution control that benefits the environment, speeding implementation and creating new sub discipline careers that truly protects the planet.
Innovation: it provides alternatives to other techniques such as the use inorganic fertilizers as bio stimulants that have been demonstrated to damage health and the environment.
Cost: it is cost effective. Acceptance: it is an accepted practice by most individuals due to it’s safe processes and
operation. Ease of operation: it doesn't disrupts everyday activities while been carried out. Etc. Profit: it is a process that aims at improving the economy of a nation financially. Effectiveness: it is an effective technique that solely reduces contaminants in pollution control
to a save level.
MECHANISM OF OIL BIODEGRADATION- A MICROBIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
Microorganisms uses the crude oil as an energy source by feeding on them just as we eat food to get energy but this crude oil lacks some elemental nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus which can only be supplied only by bio stimulants(waste) just as we also need vitamins to supplement the food we eat.

CONTESTS OF USING BIO WASTE The usage of bio waste requires a long time to achieve optimum results. It requires extensive monitoring. The process lack control after the application of the nutrients. It is a dynamic process, it is difficult to predict future effectiveness.
FUTURE PROSPECTS The use of bio surfactants should be considered as a
nutrient amendment process. Molecular analysis of microbial activity during a
bioremediation process should be look into.
CONCLUSIONOrganic waste can improve microbial growth.Biotechnology is a safe practice.Inorganic fertilizers should be avoided.Public awareness should be created.Pollution should be avoided.
