Aerobic Bioremedation

ETEC offers the most effective aerobic bioremediation system on the market today. The key to our Dissolved Oxygen In situ Treatment (DO-IT™) system is its application as a closed loop groundwater re-circulation system.

 

Extracted groundwater is oxygenated (with 40-ppm levels of dissolved oxygen) and amended with nutrients and secondary acceptors by our Super-Ox™ equipment platform, which then injects this treatment water back into the subsurface. This consistent recirculation of oxygen-rich, nutrient-rich treatment water satisfies several critical requirements of all in situ bioremediation systems, including:

 
• Constant delivery of amendments, electron acceptors (DO, nitrate, sulfate) and nutrients to support accelerated biological degradation of target contaminants
• Continuous movement of the injected treatment water through the contaminated soil and groundwater for optimum contact with dissolved and adsorbed contaminants
• Hydraulic plume control and the simultaneous production of localized groundwater gradients that encouraged the flow of injected treatment water to specific zones within a plume area
