Technologies
Remedios utilises a range of key enabling technologies including:
|
Bioaugmentation and Biostimulation
Bioaugmentation is the addition of specifically selected pre-grown microorganisms to degrade contaminants. |
|
Biopiling
Biopile remediation is an ex situ version of soil bioventing, where contaminated soil is constructed into engineered piles or cells with the aim of enhancing conditions required for biodegradation through greater control of oxygen, nutrient such as phosphorus and nitrogen and water. |
|
Biosparging
Biosparging is an in situ remediation technology that exploits and stimulates indigenous microorganisms to degrade organic contaminants in saturated soil. |
|
Bioventing
Bioventing stimulates the natural in situ biodegradation of degradable contaminants in the unsaturated zone (above the water table). |
|
Natural Attenuation
Natural attenuation employs natural processes to contain the spread of contamination and reduce the concentration, toxicity and quantity of contaminants present at a site. |
|
Pump and Treat (PAT)
Pump and treat technology is a common form of groundwater remediation. Contaminated groundwater is pumped to the surface using a series of extraction wells, where it is subsequently treated to remove the contaminants, and then either reinjected into a groundwater aquifer or discharged into a nearby watercourse. |
