What is bioremediation?

Bioremediation refers to the use of microbes (bio) to remove contaminants from the environment, thereby returning the resources to their "clean & natural" state (remediate).


Can external inoculation help?

Bioremediation may attempt to enhance microbes that are already present in the contaminated material (indigenous) or use specially selected microbes with known degradation capabilities targeted to the contamination.  Biodyne® has developed microbial blends with special appetites for a variety of contaminants.  The success of bioremediation ultimately depends on the presence of capable microorganisms which can be properly "managed" to utilize their capabilities.
