Products

• Biological / Chemical Treatment Processes.

  Biological contaminants treatment methods, together with amendments and soil washing are combined with conventional methods to achieve more economic decontamination systems. The proper application of prepared biocultures or the management of natural bacterial colonies is critical for effective and timely remediation of contaminants. Also, a thorough knowledge of the soils and the hydrogeology of the site is necessary for an effective bioremediation system design.
