Featured Remediation Approach

Tersus Advanced Surface Kinetics (TASK™) liberates NAPL and captures them with enhanced recovery techniques.


Do I have DNAPL at my site?

It is difficult to verify the presence of DNAPL through direct observation.   A common practice is to estimate the presence of DNAPLs indirectly by applying the “1 percent of solubility” rule-of-thumb (EPA, 1992). 


Optimizing Anaerobic Bioremediation

Nutrimens® Granular, Enhancing the Efficiency of Electron Donor Utilization in Bioremediation

Bacteria are very sensitive to low pH. The optimal pH for bioremediation is between 6 and 8.5. To keep your in situ bioremediation project on track, pH should be maintained within a range where bioremediation is maximized. In general, more fermentation means more volatile fatty acid (VFA) production and lower pH. A major consequence when pH falls below 6 is a dramatic decline in enhanced reductive dechlorination.
