Inference:
• Thermophilic hydrocarbon degradation takes place.
• Syntrophic acetate oxidation and hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis
occurs .
• Hence Microbial enhance energy recovery process is feasible using
crude oil waste.

• Higher solubility of hydrophobic pollutants
• Decreases viscosity
• Diffusion of pollutants is considerably faster
