IULIUS to invest 29 million Euro in the largest private bioremediation process in Europe – 38 hectares of contaminated land in downtown Constanța to be converted into an urban regeneration project

Press Release

30/9/2025

Romanian innovation – the researchers at the National Research & Development Institute for Pedology, Agrochemistry and Environmental Protection (ICPA) in Bucharest have developed a unique formulation of natural microorganisms that are able to absorb hydrocarbons.
Two scientific laboratories that IULIUS fitted with research infrastructure with national impact – more than 420,000 Euro.
Natural bioremediation process using science to boost the healing capacity of the soil – best practice model for the urban reconversion and regeneration of a former industrial area.
This initiative is part of IULIUS Company’s 800-plus million Euro investment project in reconverting 38 hectares of unused and polluted land of the former Oil Terminal platform into an integrated urban regeneration mixed-use project with various components: cultural, educational, and retail venues, public utility and entertainment uses and services, sports and leisure facilities, park and botanical garden, amphitheater, art and business event halls, entertainment centers, office premises, pedestrian, bicycle, and motor vehicle connectivity and mobility solutions.

IULIUS Company, alongside a multidisciplinary team of environmental experts, kickstarted the largest bioremediation project in Europe by a private investor, focusing on a piece of land in the very heart of Constanța, that has been polluted and inactive for more than a decade, and restoring it back to the city. The investment in the remediation process adds up to more than 29 million Euro and marks the second phase (after the archeological research) of the 800-plus million Euro investment project for converting the former Oil Terminal platform into an integrated urban complex. The uniqueness of this process lies in the development of an innovative scientific method and formulation, specially created to resolve the issues of this site, in the size of the project site spanning 38 hectares of industrial brownfield, as well as in the fact that this process entails the remediation of both the soil and groundwater in the contaminated site area. “This area has held a decades-long historical role in the development of Constanța and has been a driver of economic growth. We aim to transform this place, set in the heart of Constanța, from a symbol of yesteryear’s industry into a clean and modern urban regeneration project, integrated in the life of the community and bound to become a new development hub for the city in every respect. We are now taking the most important step by healing the contaminated area of the city and transforming it into a green project for generations to come, with impact in developing Constanța into a year-round active and attractive destination,” said Raluca Munteanu, Development Manager IULIUS.

38 hectares impacted by historical contamination

The bioremediation process is conducted nearby the city center, in an area with a lengthy industrial past, accommodating an oil depot with more than 30 tanks, which contained petroleum products. “The platform has been out of use for more than a decade now due to the incompatibility of these operations with the city center and especially due to the age of the tanks, as they were built about 100 years ago and their technical remediation was not feasible. Over the course of 80 years of activity, it was virtually impossible for this land not to be affected. The remediation part was a key goal for us, and IULIUS Company undertaking this endeavor was yet another argument for signing the partnership, besides their expertise in developing large scale urban regeneration projects, with a tangible impact in the development of cities, as we also wish to see happen in Constanța. This process is an important step in bringing this project to life, as well as a source of pride, because this will enable this land to be utilized for the benefit of the community,” said Sorin Ciutureanu, General Manager of Oil Terminal.

Romanian scientific innovation

The bioremediation process is singular by virtue of its methodology and extent. The researchers at the National Research & Development Institute for Pedology, Agrochemistry and Environmental Protection (ICPA) in Bucharest have developed a unique formulation containing natural microorganisms selected from the contaminated site it self and that are able to induce the biodegradation of oil hydrocarbons. The method boosts the natural healing process and substantially reduces the remediation time.

The process phases will entail the bioremediation of the soil, physical isolation of the contaminant, and purification of the groundwater, and the solutions identified by the multidisciplinary team of experts are customized and based on exploratory drilling and laboratory testing. “We are applying the enrichment technique, which allows for increased biodegradation efficiency and reduced soil bioremediation time. We developed an original technology, an innovation for Constanța, with this inoculum formulation (Ed.: the mix of microorganisms) introduced in the prepared soil and the determination of optimal environmental parameters for the optimal development and performance of the microorganisms. All the strains used to create the biopreparations are natural, originating from the soil set to undergo bioremediation, and did not result from any type of genetic manipulation, there fore introducing them in the polluted soil does not pose any kind of environmental risk,” explained Anca-Rovena Lăcătușu, Ph.D., Head of Laboratory at ICPA Bucharest.

The soil bioremediation is completed by the groundwater remediation process: creating a hydrogeological barrier by drilling wells to pump out contaminated groundwater, pumping the groundwater into a water treatment plant, and using the treated groundwater for various safe purposes, such as cleaning or irrigation of green spaces. “The choice of method mostly hinges on experience. We are part of a company based in Germany that has been conducting this type of works for 60 years now and is among the top three in Europe in this field. Thus, we benefit from our experience in similar projects or dealing with hydrocarbon-contaminated land, as well as our experience in selecting the most suitable technology over time. In brief, the submersible pumps in boreholes will pump water into the treatment plant, which will gradually clean the water, primarily removing the hydrocarbons that contaminate the soil,” added Cristian Bădoiu – Country Manager for Hoelscher Wasserbau.

At the same time, the contaminated area at the bottom of the excavation pit will be isolated using a physical barrier (a high-density geomembrane with proven durability over time) in order to stop the pollutant from migrating both horizontally and vertically.

“Among others, this remediation project is also an act of courage. The courage to do something that seemed impossible at first, especially given the costs and size of the land. Projects of this kind must put forward innovative solutions, and we are seeing the mobilization of an impressive team of experts across various fields, all eager to achieve performance. The guarantees of the success for such a project lie in the fact that the proposed methods have been validated by the success of similar projects, both internationally and nationally. I am convinced that by the end of this project, the site will be restored to a suitable condition for its development,” said Cicerone Ionescu, CEO & Founder of Auditeco, the company that designed the remediation process.

Research infrastructure with national impact

In order to apply this solution on a very large volume of contaminated soil, IULIUS invested 300,000 Euro in fitting a laboratory at ICPA with state-of-the-art technology for multiplying the selected microorganisms. This approach marks an important step in the remediation of contaminated laboratories, paving the way to applying this technologies in other affected industrial sites.

IULIUS provided funding to equip a chemical testinglaboratory with the “Ovidius” University of Constanța, in order to determine total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) quality indicators, an investment adding up to approximately 120,000 Euro.

The completion of this complex soil bioremediation and groundwater treatment process ensures that the area is safe and can be developed. An area with environmental issues that have been perpetuated and multiplied over the course of decades will become not only sustainable, but also a point of attraction for the entire community.
