Technology Description: | |
Bio-Genesis Technologies has used its experience to develop an in situ technology which biodegrades contaminants in groundwater. To conduct bioremediation in situ for groundwater contamination, first, groundwater samples are collected and analyzed to determine the concentration of contaminants. Next a biotreatability study is done on the groundwater to determine if bioremediation is a feasible option. If the site proves to be a good candidate for bioremediation, wells are installed for delivering oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Monitoring is conducted until the site meets cleanup levels.
The different formulations of microbes that Bio-Genesis Tech. develops are naturally occurring, non-pathogenic and endemic to the Earth. We use a process of selection and adaptation to identify the bacteria species with the highest propensity to degrade the targeted organic compound. To effectively degrade the various types of hazardous waste contaminants, microbiologists at Bio-GT blend several different types of microbes that have each been selectively adapted and enhanced.
Bio-Genesis Technologies can perform Biotreatability studies to determine the indigenous bacteria present and which microbes in our library are capable of utilizing the contaminant as a sole carbon and energy source and to estimate the rate of degradation for each contaminant. The tests will also determine the amount of nutrients, moisture and oxygen needed to complete the remediation project.
The custom blending of microbial species are put into a synergistic mixture or blend. For example, our GT-1000 HC product blend has microbes targeted to degrade crude oil, BTEX, and diesel fuel. The GT-1000 HC product metabolizes short and long chain hydrocarbons found in contaminated soil and water and converts the wastes into safe by-products of carbon dioxide and water.
The cost savings using our bioremediation products are substantial - 50 to 70 percent over incineration and landfilling not to mention 25 to 40 percent less expensive than vapor extraction.

Performance Status/
Limitations: | |
Performance Status:
Bio-Genesis Technologies' systems and microbial applications have been demonstrated successfully at bench scale, pilot-scale and full-scale. Full-scale systems were used to treat soil, sludge and wastewater contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, aromatics and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Our microbial products are being used by engineering companies throughout the United States for bioremediating hazardous waste sites.
Limitations:
The Bio-Genesis Technologies process and microbes will not degrade inorganic or synthetic compounds. But its overall effectiveness is not affected by inorganic compounds that are present in low concentrations.
The efficiency of eliminating the contaminants will vary with temperature, moisture, site geological and chemical characteristics. If a biotreatability analysis is performed, a treatment application outline can be given to insure optimal efficiency in degrading the contaminants to clean-up levels.
The systems used to treat various sites may require a Bio-treatability study from our company before application of our microbial cultures to determine all the parameters that must be kept during treatment to succeed.
