Generic Designs for Bioremediation

MicroSorb Environmental Products, Inc. has prepared the following generic designs of bioremediation systems which intercept and treat contaminated groundwater or simply treat the groundwater through direct injection.

Advantages of using an interceptor, treatment, and injection bioremediation system:

The plume is controlled.
Free product is destroyed by microbes in the bioreactor, i.e., no waste disposal, no activated carbon usage.
Microbes in the bioreactor adjust to the contamination.
The injection of treated groundwater containing microbes saturates the soils above the water table, bioremediating contaminated soils.
The injection of treated groundwater creates a groundwater mound which increases groundwater flow, reducing the time of remediation.

MicroSorb^® SC (Super Concentrate) may be mixed with MicroSorb^® Nutrients in a drum of MicroSorb^® Biocatalyst. The mixture may then be pumped into a series of small diameter injection wells screened in the contaminated zone. The costs of the above bioreactor system are eliminated, however a number of injections may be necessary to achieve a satisfactory cleanup.

MicroSorb provides solutions: products, services, or both

MicroSorb Environmental Products, Inc. will supply custom designed control systems for your next bioremediation project and will assist you in creating a bill of materials for equipment and supplies peculiar to your site.

MicroSorb personnel have the capacity to provide fully engineered solutions for site specific contamination conditions or we are prepared to simply provide microbial products to potential users. Using MicroSorb^® microbial products assures you that the species of microbes necessary to destroy the contamination on your site will be present in quantities sufficient to get the job done.

Generic designs

The following generic designs are utilized to deploy MicroSorb products to the source of the contamination. Site specific conditions dictate the type of delivery system (design) used. The design schematics shown below are generic illustrations and are presented simply to provide the conceptual framework for more detailed site specific, engineered solutions.
