Dr. Carl H. Oppenheimer
Dr. Carl H. Oppenheimer is known around the world as one of the founding fathers of modern bioremediation technology. He devoted his life to the research and development of ecologically safe and sound methods of cleaning petroleum hydrocarbon pollution. Carl was passionate about discovering, collecting, and using archaea soil and water microbes to cleanup, restore, and improve the environment.

  • His other experiences included:
  • Problems on sewage disposal in Los Angeles and San Diego, California
  • Three years research sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute on the origin and decomposition of petroleum
  • Two years research on the origin of oil with Pan American Petroleum Corporation
  • Corrosion of iron by marine microorganisms microbial ecology and geochemistry of shallow marine environments in the United States and Europe
  • Carbonate geo-microbiology of the Florida Keys
  • Development of food for shrimp cleanup
  • Establishment of biological guidelines for estuarine environmental use and management
  • North Sea oil ecology; ecology of the Mediterranean
  • Microbial management of municipal and industrial wastes in the U.S., Denmark and Italy.
  • Bioremediation techniques for waste treatment of organic and inorganic materials.
  • Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) to restore production in marginal oil wells by this Tertiary treatment.
  • Soil and water pollution cleanup for hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
He was instrumental in the State of Texas authorizing the first open water testing of a bioremediation product in US history at the site of the Mega Borg oil spill off the coast of Texas in June 1990. Watch a video of The Megaborg Oil Spill from our YouTube archives. Watch now
