Technology Description: | |
Microbial Environmental Services, Inc. (MES) uses bioremediation technologies to treat groundwater aquifers contaminated with petroleum and bioreactor treatment technology for treating industrial effluents containing hazardous organic compounds. The design is based on the introduction of low concentrate nutrients and oxygen into the subsurface via infiltration galleries and extraction through a recovery well to enhance naturally occurring microorganisms. The system is a hydraulically controlled biodegredation system designed to prevent migration of the contaminants and nutrients from the treatment site. The results of biodegradation of contaminant by naturally occurring microorganisms are carbon dioxide and water.
MES, Inc. performance advantages are the result of site-specific design of the biotreatment system and the implementation of intensive quality control and optimized process methodologies. Our on-site bioremediation technologies do not result in the release of volatile organics into the air or allow the leaching of contaminants into the subsurface. Benefits unique to our microbial technologies versus other forms of non-biological remediation include quiet operation, quick and complete degradation of organic contaminants, as well as competitive price. In addition, our process uses only the microorganisms on site as the degraders.

Performance Status/
Limitations: | |
Performance Status:
Scientists and engineers at MES, Inc. have applied more than a decade of knowledge and experience in bioreactor design, microbial ecology and environmental microbiology, transport phenomena, and waste management to develop and design the biotreatment technologies used by MES, Inc. Services offered for cleaning up contaminated soils and groundwater aquifers include: site characterization an biotreatability testing, remedial design, site monitoring, and project management. Biotreatment technologies for herbicides/pesticides and explosives are in scale up/demonstration stages. MES has patents that have been applied for; some patents are still being applied for.
Limitations:
MES, Inc. bioremediation technologies are not applicable to the treatment of non-biodegradable wastes; wastes containing metals only, inorganic cyanide wastes, inorganic corrosive wastes, and wastes containing radioactive materials. The technologies are also not applicable to the treatment of PCBs and dioxins/furans.
