Enhanced in situ bioremediation (EISB) treatability, or biotreatability studies, are bench-scale tests that analyze whether bacteria or other microbes can degrade different compounds of concern, with or without adding amendment. These tests use site materials, like soil, sediment, rock, and groundwater, to monitor compound degradation under various conditions, testing treatment variables to optimize remediation. Clients reach out to SiREM to understand whether bioremediation, or adding microorganisms into the subsurface at their sites, can help degrade contaminants at their sites.
Batch test microcosms designed to evaluate bioremediation of compounds of concern under aerobic or anaerobic conditions with Mininert caps designed to allow frequent sampling or amendment into the microcosms.
Custom-designed flow-through reactors assess anaerobic bioremediation of dissolved metals and selenium using biostimulation in a gravel bed reactor (GBR).
Actionable Results
All custom studies are replicated, controlled experiments that provide a high data integrity and interpretability. SiREM's interpretative reports summarize data and place results in the context of a specific site to help clients select and optimize remedies.
