From the page: "Bioremediation is a collection of technologies that are playing an increasing role in the clean up of hazardous wastes. Toxic pollutants, primarily organic compounds ( including polycyclic ), can be treated to significantly reduce or eliminate their concentrations in soil, water, and air. Microorganisms metabolize the organic compounds into stable, non-toxic materials that won't create future environmental risks. These are naturally occurring bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms which will consume or transform almost anything - including the most dangerous organic chemicals which man has developed and dumped on earth, in the air, or in the water.
The contaminants that can be treated include; Diesel Oil, PCB's, Herbicides, Gasoline, PCP's, Pesticides, Aviation Fuel, PAHs, Nitroaromatics (TNT etc), Bunker C, Cyanide, Heating Oil, BTEX,TCE-Dichlorethane, Chlorinated Aromatics, Phosphorous, and Heavy Metals. The BioMatrix of the reactor system can handle up to 100 ppm Heavy Metals. For concentrations above this treshold, specially desiged Ion - Exchangers are integrated.
The sequence of changes necessary for bio-degradation differ from compound to compound, but all waste products are eventually reduced to carbon dioxide, water, and microbial biomass. In most bioremediation technologies the supply of oxygen, moisture, and nutrients for the microorganism are the principle factors that contribute to the bioremediation process. The rate at which contaminants are successfully degraded, and the tools and equipment necessary to "adapt" the microorganisms to degrade particular contaminants, are usually corporate secrets. The varieties and effectiveness of this technology, is what gives any remediation company its "competitive edge" in the marketplace."
