Unlocking the Potential for Petroleum Biodegradation with QuantArray®-Petro Comprehensive evaluation of biodegradation potential at petroleum impacted sites can by challenging due to two factors: (1) Petroleum products are complex mixtures of hundreds of aliphatic, aromatic, cyclic and heterocyclic compounds. (2) Even for common classes of contaminants like benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX), biodegradation can…

QuantArray®-Petro: MNA Assessment at a Crude Oil Impacted Site

Uncategorized

At a crude oil impacted site, project managers were considering MNA as a site management strategy based on favorable contaminant concentration trends and geochemistry in groundwater. However, additional lines of evidence were required.

Together with contaminant concentration trends and geochemistry, the direct microbial data provided multiple lines of evidence to support a confidant MNA decision resulting in significant cost savings over enhanced remediation.
