Built on years of successful collaboration, Microbial Insights (MI) maintains working relationships with a variety of leading companies that develop and provide amendments like electron donors, electrons acceptors, and bioaugmentation cultures. MI is a privately held woman owned business, not owned by a consulting firm, product vendor, or investor conglomerate. As an independent laboratory committed…
• Site managers were considering monitored natural attenuation (MNA), biostimulation, and bioaugmentation as remediation strategies at a site impacted by a complex mixture of chlorinated hydrocarbons including PCE, TCE, 1,1,2-TCA, 1,2-DCA, cis-DCE, and VC along with high concentrations of sulfate.
• QuantArray®-Chlor analysis provided actionable data for remedy selection allowing timely decisions and significant cost savings in site management.
• The ISM study conducted at this site provided clear, actionable evidence that electron donor injection would stimulate reductive dechlorination without the need for expensive bioaugmentation. Further, this evidence was provided in a significantly more cost effective manner than a bench-scale treatability study or a pilot scale study and in a more timely manner.
