Bioremediation
Bioremediation refers to any method that uses microbes (microorganisms) to
recycle organic materials and sequester inorganic ions. Because the
primary responsibility of microbes is to recycle organic material,
they must be present in sufficient quantities and diversity in order
to do this. Under careful controlled conditions, bioremediation can
be a practical and cost effective method to remove hydrocarbons from
contaminated surfaces and sub-surfaces. Bioremediation is the basis
for composting and human and industrial waste recycling.
BioAugmentation is
the addition of naturally occurring microbes to sites. BioStimulation
is the modification of sites to enhance the growth of indigenous
microbes already present. OBI specializes in BioAugmentation using a
specialized consortia of Archaea.
Advantages of Bioremediation
- It is a natural and safe process.
- It is cost effective.
- It represents a true closure solution.
- It is non-disruptive and non-invasive.
- It can be performed in-situ on site, with a low profile.
