If you plan to use augmentation or enhanced bioremediation, RespirTek's Microbial Communication ServiceŽ can determine the effectiveness of the intervention without expensive field trial and error application. 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. Our labs are equipped with the most advanced continuously monitoring respirometers available. 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. Whether it is natural attenuation or full-scale bioremediation involving groundwater, soil testing or other environmental matrices, we can assist you.
