Seven Day Bio-treatability Test
Our in-house laboratory is outfitted to do a "Seven Day Test" or bio-treatability study. The study is conducted prior to starting any new remediation project. It allows us to calculate the rate of degradation needed to get an accurate project closure date.
What does all of this mean? This test simply determines the degradation rate in a seven day time-frame. As a standard we test for total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) levels, before and after.
Step One
- Prior to the start of the "Seven Day Test" a sample is sent to an independent third party laboratory for analysis.
Step Two
The sample is treated with The Oppenheimer Formula.
Step Three
After seven days a sample of the treated material is sent back to same independent third party laboratory for analysis.
What does the test do? It give clients a starting and ending point.
This test is done routinely along with the bio-compatibility test. The bio-compatibility test allows us to test the soil and water samples to predetermine the suitability of our microbes in the project site to be bioremediated.
