Functionality
Recent trends in engineered bioremediation indicate that the treatment of chlorinated solvent contamination can, under circumstances, result in the slow degradation of intermediate compounds. When faced with this problem, bioaugmentation with a microbial consortium such as Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM® PLUS offers a solution to accelerate the complete dechlorination of these otherwise recalcitrant contaminants. Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM PLUS can be used at most any stage of a project to ensure the rapid and complete degradation of chlorinated compounds. Specifically, Bio-Dechlor INOCULUM PLUS can be added to an aquifer at the beginning of a project in situations where there is a lack of, or suboptimal populations of Dehalococcoides. Actual quantities of these organisms can be measured using Bio-Dechlor CENSUS ( a real-time PCR technique) currently available through Microbial Insights at www.microbe.com.
