EX SITU REMEDIATION

Soils contaminated with various organic pollutants can be readily decontaminated using the process of bioremediation. This process involves the construction of soil into soil piles, which receive controlled aeration, a mixture of contaminant degrading microorganisms, soil modifiers and nutrients.

ARC Geobac has developed and pioneered active biological destruction process approaches to remediation, which entail the addition of contaminant adapted microbial consortia, together with soil modifiers, specific nutrients and agents. These elements when combined with appropriate soil pile construction methods, allow bioremediation to become an efficient, controllable and predictable ex-situ cleanup process. Biopile methodology and processes for use at specific sites are quality verified through laboratory and pilot scale field testing at our facilities.

ARC Geobac also uses reductive ex situ techniques to biodegrade more stable chemicals. While biopile construction is the same, the chemical and biological process is modified. ARC Geobac has developed complimentary remedial methodologies to accompany the use of bioremediation as the ex situ technique of choice. These methods include, soil washing, pelletization, inclusion and controlled mobilization.
