Biological remediation (bioremediation) is the process of using microorganisms or their enzymes to remove toxic hydrocarbons from the environment. Bioremediation processes are used in applications such as groundwater remediation and soil remediation. The microbes break down the hydrocarbons and convert them to water, carbon dioxide and amino acids, which are natural and harmless.
Biological remediation significantly cuts costs and time generally associated with contaminant clean-ups. Microbial remediation can also be used in in-situ remediation and ex-situ remediation, meaning the contaminated matter can be treated on the spot or can be removed and treated elsewhere.
Examples of petroleum hydrocarbons are: crude oil, jet fuel, diesel fuel, gasoline to name a few.
Excavation, disposal and pump and treat methods are a thing of the past. Biological remediation is the new way to clean up contaminants and ECOWAY has your product.
