In-situ bioremediation method utilizing the microorganisms that live underground

Technology / Service Summary

This technology improves the ground environment by supplying nutrients and oxygen to soil and groundwater contaminated with volatile organic compounds such as tetrachlorethylene and oil, and detoxifying hazardous substances contained in soil and groundwater by the power of microorganisms.

Purpose

Improvement of the ground environment by detoxifying hazardous substances contained in soil and groundwater by the power of microorganisms

Feature

a) Available to in-situ treatment with relatively simple devices
b) Available to treat hazardous substances at a relatively low cost although in a long period of time in some case.
c) Available to use aerobic treatment and anaerobic treatment differently depending on the type of contaminant
d) Available to shorten a period of washing by combining auxiliary construction methods

Effect

Contaminants are decomposed into non-hazardous substances by the activity of microorganisms
