Biofeasibility studies can be used to determine if your bioremediation project will be successful. Respirtek has developed protocol for a basic bench scale biofeasibility study, using respirometric technology combined with traditional analytical testing, that provides a very economical approach to bioremediation determination. In a fully accredited NELAC lab, we can provide the following from your soil or water sample:
- Run BTEX, VOC, COD, TOC, pH and nutrients to establish baseline.
- Study the impact of air to indigenous microbes followed by COD and TOC analytical for baseline comparability.
- Study the impact of nutrient addition followed by COD and TOC analytical for baseline comparability.
- Study the impact of specialty microbe seed addition followed by BTEX, VOC, COD and TOC analytical for baseline comparability.
- Report indicating procedures and conclusions.
Our Biofeasibility Studies, can determine contaminant degradation rates for as many different scenarios that you would like to try, all within our respirometric laboratory. Perhaps you just want to know which enhancement product will work best for your site characteristics. Using respirometric technology, we can monitor the respiration of the microbes from the site to determine which product works best for you. Respirtek, Inc. provides outsourcing and testing services for government, business, industry and engineering consulting firms utilizing a network of laboratories and bioremediators that specialize in respirometry.
