How much Oxygen in Needed for Aerobic Cometabolism of PCE?

Aerobic Cometabolism of PCE CL-Out bioremediation degrades PCE without the production of vinyl chloride under a wide aerobic range.  The degradation pathway is via organic acids. The following compilation of data from 14 locations shows PCE removal with ORP levels in ground water ranging from -150 to 250 standard units.  The concentration removed PCE concentrations […]

Vinyl Chloride Bioremediation in Central Ohio

Aerobic Cometabolism of  Vinyl Chloride CL-Out® bioremediation removed vinyl chloride and other chlorinated  solvents found in ground water at a former automobile repair shop near Columbus, Ohio.  The solvents were thought to have been released from an underground storage tank (UST).    After the UST and associated contaminated soil were removed, CL-Out bioremediation was implemented to […]

How Sustainable Green Remediation Saves Time And Money

CL-Out Bioremediation Wins Green Remediation Recognition and Saves Time and Money Sustainable, green remediation is recommended to reduce the environmental impact of the removal of existing soil or groundwater contamination.  It has the added benefit of reducing costs and accelerating remediation to save time. Following the ASTM standards greener remediation best management practices, Irwin Engineering […]

CL-Out Bioremediation of Ground Water in Clay Soils

Successful In Situ Remediation in Low Permeability CL-Out bioremediation of groundwater in clay soils reduced concentrations of PCE and TCE at a former dry cleaners in Moline, Illinois.  In just over 2 weeks after injection, CL-Out microbes cut the contaminant concentrations in half. PCE from 62.2 to 25.6 mg/L TCE from 11.2 to 6.0 mg/L […]
