TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER<br />
� Technology adaption to climatic conditions;<br />
� Problems with licensing;<br />
� Lack <strong>of</strong> legal and tecnical regulations (no<br />
classification into emplacement classes as Z0 to Z2 <strong>of</strong><br />
the technical rule TR Boden);<br />
� Problems with the importation <strong>of</strong> equipment.<br />

Case Study<br />
History:<br />
Soil utilization over a time period <strong>of</strong> about 18 years (1970/80)<br />
as unsecured landfills for:<br />
� Solid waste and liquid, oleaginous sludges;<br />
� Construction waste;<br />
� Insetted landfill layers (soil).<br />
Total volume is estimated to be <strong>of</strong> approx. 30.000 tons <strong>of</strong><br />
contaminated soil with mineral oil hydrocarbons.<br />
Area utilization was stopped about 20 years ago leaving the<br />
substances exposed to natural mechanisms.<br />

Conclusion<br />
• Bioremediation is a technology with a high<br />
application potential in Brazil.<br />
• Bioremediation is a technology sparsely<br />
utilized when compared to Germany.<br />
• Legislation/Standardization for this area<br />
should be enhanced.<br />
