Скачать или смотреть Innovative Remediation Options & Molecular Biological tools for Performance Monitoring

The environmental remediation industry continues to tackle tough situations with innovative treatment and advances in molecular biological tools (MBTs) to provide more conclusive and comprehensive performance monitoring.

In this presentation, Brad Elkins, EOS Remediation LLC, presents an introduction to in situ bioremediation and methods in selecting an electron donor or acceptor. Brad reviews site design considerations and gives performance monitoring recommendations.

Dora Taggart continues the presentation with an applied discussion of molecular biological tools (MBTs) including qPCR, QuantArray, CSIA and other commonly utilized techniques to monitor performance of enhanced bioremediation strategies.

Professor Kerry Sublette presents case studies where innovative in situ bioreactors (ISBRs) have been employed to promote biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons and chlorinated solvents at sites where other approaches have failed. Bio-Enhance ISBRs are in-well bioreactors using Bio-Sep® beads as the packed bed matrix providing an incredibly large surface area for bacterial colonization and growth. The ISBRs are designed to be deployed in standard 2 and 4 in. monitoring wells and are configured for gas-lift groundwater circulation through the Bio-Sep® packed bed and continuous injection of amendments from a surface source to promote microbial growth.
