INFANTE, Carmen. Biorrestauración de áreas impactadas por crudo por medio de intebios® y biorize®. INCI [online]. 2001, vol.26, n.10, pp.504-507. ISSN 0378-1844.

A review of some aspects related to the restoration of areas impacted by crude oil is presented. This is one of the most relevant topics in which the Venezuelan oil industry has invested significant efforts through the development of environmentally friendly technological processes. Technologies aimed at the recovery of savanna soils and the degree of plant coverage are underscored, as well as the underlying principles and applications of the INTEBIOS® technology to treat and bioremediate important amounts of organic wastes, and the use of BIORIZE® to improve and quicken bioremediation processes in sensible areas influenced by the activities of the petroleum industry. As a result of these investigations and their development, during the last five years an extended experience has been amassed, which has conducted to the treatment of more than 300 000 m3 of soils impacted either by crude oil spills or inadequate waste disposal.
