Services
Selenium Remediation
Our selenium remediation uses anaerobic bacteria to transform water-soluble selenate/selenite into non-soluble elemental selenium. This biological method reduces toxicity and prevents bioaccumulation in ecosystems. We deploy targeted microbial seeding and substrate injections for rapid, sustainable results in mining-impacted sites.
TCE Treatment
We enhance anaerobic bioremediation to degrade trichloroethylene (TCE) through reductive dechlorination. By introducing hydrogen-donating substrates and nutrients, we accelerate bacterial conversion of TCE to non-toxic ethene. This method achieved 90% contaminant reduction in 11 months at a Western PA industrial site.
BTEX Cleanup
Our BTEX remediation combines biological seeding with oxygen and nutrient injections to degrade benzene, toluene, and related compounds. At a Slippery Rock gas station, this approach eliminated contaminants in 6 months using our proprietary BOSS technology with minimal site disruption.
Acid Mine Drainage
We address acid mine drainage by optimizing microbial processes to neutralize acidity and remove metals. Our bioreactor support services enhance natural attenuation, reducing environmental impact while complying with stringent regulatory standards for mining operations.
Microbial Enumeration
Our full-scale laboratories perform microbial enumeration to quantify contaminant-degrading bacteria in environmental samples. This critical analysis informs tailored bioremediation strategies, ensuring optimal microbial activity for specific contaminants like petroleum hydrocarbons or chlorinated solvents.
