Pesticide Bioremediation

/in , /by

CL Solutions recently completed a field pilot study of bioremediation of mixed chlorinated pesticides. Under the pilot study Petrox treated several cubic yards of soil highly contaminated by a suite of related chlorinated organic pesticides.  The pilot study showed the overall impact was a reduction of the pesticide concentrations by 28% to 93% in 60 days.  The contaminant removal rate was 88 to 100 kg/kg/day.

The full scale implementation is expected to begin in the summer of 2017.
