Product BIOAUGMENTATION TO ACCELERATE THE PROCESS OF COMPLETE DECHLORINATION

Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM® is an enriched natural microbial consortium containing species of Dehalococcoides sp. (DHC). This microbial consortium has since been enriched to increase its ability to rapidly dechlorinate contaminants during in situ bioremediation processes. Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM has been shown to stimulate the rapid and complete dechlorination of compounds such as tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE), dichloroethene (DCE), and vinyl chloride (VC). The most current culture of Bio Dechlor INOCULUM PLUS(+) now contains microbes capable of dehalogenating halomethanes (e.g. carbon tetrachloride and chloroform) and haloethanes (e.g. 1,1,1 TCA and 1,1, DCA) as well as mixtures of these halogenated contaminants.

Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM® PLUS(+) is provided in a liquid form and is designed to be injected directly into the contaminated subsurface. Once in place, this microbial consortium works to accelerate the extant rate of chlorinated ethene degradation. When faced with an insufficient quantity of critical dechlorinating microbes, Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM PLUS(+) supplies many beneficial chlorinated solvent degraders including the all important DHC required to achieve complete and rapid dechlorination.

This microbial consortium is compatible with most electron donors however it is often optimized with the addition of any of Regenesis' Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC®) products.
