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 […]

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 […]

How Aerobic PCE Bioremediation Works

How CL-Out Aerobic PCE Bioremediation Works A CL-Out bioremediation pilot study confirmed that aerobic PCE cometabolism removed dry cleaning solvent contamination from ground water.  The pilot study was located at a former dry cleaners, where the PCE in ground water was 27 parts per billion (ppb).  Bioaugmentation introduced CL-Out microbes and dextrose as the metabolic […]

Brownfield Plan Included CL-Out Bioremediation

A brownfield plan included Cl-Out bioremediation to reduce high concentrations of TCE and other contaminants in ground water at an industrial site near Newark, New Jersey. Using a dynamic remediation plan, three applications of CL-Out microbes followed remediation progress sampling during the site preparation for construction. After reducing the maximum CVOC concentrations from over 8,000 […]
