An efficient and complete hydrocarbons biodegradation requires microorganisms working in synergy. Several bacterial strains degrading hydrocarbon do not form bacteria flocs in the secondary clarifiers. A continual loss in the effluent of several essential strains to treatment is one of the reasons for the malfunctioning of certain facilities, such in petrochemicals.
A pre selected bacterial complex requires a certain incubation period to develop internal enzymes necessary for the breakdown of targeted hydrocarbons. It is therefore essential, especially in the case of stations with a residence time of less than 48 hours, the microorganisms have to be maintained in exponential growth phase (see "bacterial metabolism").
Hydrocarbons are only a carbon source for the microorganisms; nitrogen, phosphorus and several micronutrients are also necessary for the biodegradation of hydrocarbons. A sufficient concentration of oxygen and/or the presence of another electron receiver and a pH 6.0-8.5 are also required (see "physicochemical conditions"). Finally, an adequate homogenization is important to minimize fluctuations (hydraulic, toxic and/or mass).
