Biodegradation is the breakdown of organic substances by microorganisms. Respirometric methods are useful for assessing biodegradation of specific chemicals. Within the Chemical Manufacturing industry the application of respirometric results are of significant cost saving and compliance value.
- Priority pollutant biodegradation testing and confirmation
- Assessing anaerobic/aerobic biodegradation of specific organic chemicals
- Toxicity determination of your waste stream in offsite discharge
Respirometric determinations in life sciences span feedlot impact assessments to OECD requirements for pharmaceuticals. A few applications are listed below.
- Biodegradation of specific chemicals
- Treatability of organic wastes
Whether it is natural attenuation or full-scale bioremediation involving groundwater, soil testing or other environmental matrices, we can assist you. Our work will give you greater confidence in bioremediation decisions.
