Jeff Roberts, (ON) will present “Advances in Enhanced Anaerobic Bioremediation of Recalcitrant Chemicals” at the Focused Remediation Seminars (FRS) Virtual Webinar at 2:25 PM EDT on March 10, 2022.
Jeff is the Operations Manager at SiREM with extensive technical experience in the laboratory assessment and field implementation of soil, sediment and groundwater remediation technologies at sites containing contaminants including chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, emerging contaminants and other recalcitrant compounds. Over the past 18 years he has conducted and managed hundreds of bench-scale batch and column treatability studies and has technical experience in the growth, scale up and field implementation of several anaerobic microbial cultures for bioremediation remedies. Jeff has several years of passive sampling experience and was a lead member in the development of the SP3™ sampler.
Few things in life are truly free…time is very valuable, and the FRS team understands that!
The responses received during the premiere offering of the Focused Remediation Seminars were overwhelmingly positive, and there have been multiple requests for additional FRS partnerships. Accordingly, the 2022 FRS schedule has been announced with new guest speakers from 212 Environmental, Dakota Technologies, Inc., Eagle Synergistic, EPRO Services Inc., FRx, Inc., Groundswell Technologies, Inc., Gregg Drilling, Hartman Environmental Geoscience, SiREM, and VaporSafe.
The 2022 event will present detailed technical information on best-available remedial technologies, modern advances in process chemistries, design and selection criteria, remedial construction/implementation strategies, and field monitoring. These seminars are offered at no cost to attend (pre-registration required), and certificates for CEU credits, Professional Development Hours, and/or LSP credits upon full participation and completion of the event are provided.
Abstract
Bioaugmentation with dechlorinating cultures is an established remediation technology for the enhanced anaerobic bioremediation of chlorinated solvent contaminated sites. Specific dechlorinating bacteria and functional genes are well known and able to dechlorinate chlorinated solvents. There are other microorganisms that have significant roles in dechlorination but are less well known and tested for less frequently. Recently, there has been significant milestones in characterizing anaerobic benzene biodegradation and their applications to developing better groundwater bioremediation solutions. Bioremediation for chlorinated solvents and BTX compounds has the potential to decrease remediation time frames and increase the range of sites to which bioremediation is applicable. This presentation will discuss recent advancements in bioaugmentation cultures are provide case studies where bioremediation was the remedy of choice at chlorinated solvent and petroleum hydrocarbon sites.
