Abstract:
Working with Nature to Detoxify a Growing Range of Contaminants
Extensive research and innovations in project execution over the past two decades have made bioremediation of chlorinated solvents, particularly tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE), a reliable cleanup practice. Addressing recalcitrant byproducts, rebound issues, and meeting stringent cleanup goals is now possible due to advances in the ability to select and deliver electron donor and nutrients (i.e., biostimulation) and the ability to identify and apply key microorganisms (bioaugmentation).
Biostimulation and bioaugmentation are commonly used and cost effective aquifer remediation techniques that are addressing a growing range of groundwater contaminants, making them an increasingly practical site cleanup option for complex and challenging sites, including those with emerging contaminants.
