Denitrification is the process in which bacteria use nitrate as a terminal electron acceptor and convert it through a series of intermediates to nitrogen gas. The groups of bacteria need to be routinely monitored and operational conditions favorably adjusted to ensure desired nitrification. At Respirtek, our Microcosm Studies, also referred to as 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. Send us a soil or water sample from the site and we will be able to tell you within a few days of lab work if naturally occurring microbes will work for you. Regulators respect our independent third party laboratory work. We use a NASA spin-off technology that is used in developing communication with microbes. We are talking about the evolving science of respirometric technology, a real time monitoring of microbial behavior.
