Description
Summary:The term bioremediation covers a wide variety of engineered systems which utilize microorganisms to degrade, detoxify and immobilize organic contaminants. These systems include: 1. solid-phase treatment using unlined land treatment systems or prepared bed bioreactors, 2. slurry-phase treatment systems completed either in-place or within tanks or impoundments, and 3. in situ treatment systems. Bioremediation is cost effective, available and demonstrated. The technology is highly flexible and can be adapted to a broad variety of situations.
