Introduction
Working throughout the UK, Envirotreat are able to offer a full bioremediation capability. Envirotreat employs the proven and successful Sanexen Process under exclusive licence.
This capability is bolstered by the major advantage of being able to treat a wide range of biodegradable pollutants regardless of ambient temperature, as developed in Canada.
Key Benefits
Some advantages of the bioremediation technology include:
The contaminants are broken down and destroyed, and therefore removed from the material, thus providing a toxicity removal process that is preferred by the regulators
- Biopile systems are relatively easy to design and construct;
- Remediation can be completed in a relatively short period of time;
- The bioremediation process offers a cost competitive technology compared to thermal desorption, which is another commonly used above ground treatment technology for removing or reducing organic contamination;
- The bioremediation process can be engineered to be potentially effective for most combinations of site conditions;
- Can be combined with E-Clay stabilisation for best effect to treat recalcitrant species such as multi ring PAH’s.
Capabilities
The applicability of Bio-Pile technology to reduce the concentration of contamination in excavated soils through the use of aerobic biodegradation has been used successfully for many years in a number of countries worldwide. The process is cost-effective for the treatment of biodegradable pollutants.
