Brent Pautler, Jeff Roberts, and Corey Scales to Present at Battelle 2026 

Jeff Roberts, Corey Scales, and Brent Pautler, PhD, will present at Battelle’s Fourteenth International Conference on Remediation of Chlorinated and Recalcitrant Compounds, more commonly known as the 2026 Chlorinated Conference, on May 31 through June 4, in Fort Worth, Texas. 

Visit SiREM practitioners at booth 643 during the conference to discuss remediation and innovative technologies. 

Brent is the Chemistry Services Manager at SiREM. He brings advanced technical experience in spectroscopy, chromatography, mass spectrometry, passive sampling, and chemistry informatics. Throughout his career, Brent has worked with scientists, engineers, and consultants to help solve unique problems in the laboratory and the field.     

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. He often addresses sites with chlorinated solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons, as well as those featuring emerging contaminants and recalcitrant compounds. 

Corey is the Bioaugmentation Production Manager at SiREM. He offers technical experience in the growth, scale-up, and field implementation of anaerobic microbial bioaugmentation cultures to degrade compounds, including chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, and recalcitrant compounds.   

The Battelle Chlorinated Conference brings together environmental professionals who research and apply innovative approaches to characterize, monitor, remediate, and manage complex sites contaminated with some of the most challenging chemicals.
