bIOREMEDIATION

RECON is an international leader in the development and application of bioremediation technologies. Our vast experience consists of both insitu and exsitu applications.
 
INSITU BIOREMEDIATION: RECON was the first contractor to develop and construct permeable reactive barriers (PRB) to bioremediate contaminated groundwater. Insitu technologies also include the deep soil mixing of oxygen releasing compounds (ORC) and other constituents designed to promote contaminant degradation.

EXSITU BIOREMEDIATION: Exsitu remedies include windrow composting, bioheap extraction, and landfarming. All of RECON's bioremediation technologies enhance indigenous microorganism growth to accelerate the degradation of organic contaminants. Our experience base includes both aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation. Depending upon project requirements enhancement of indigenous microorganism is completed with:
 
1. Enzymes
2. Surfactants
3. Nutrient addition
4. Compost
5. ORC
6. Acclimated microbes
 
Should up-front laboratory testing indicate a low native bacteria colony count, populations of microbes specifically acclimated for the waste stream are developed and deployed. Our field personnel continually monitor contaminant concentrations, pH, nutrient dosage and other parameters to ensure optimum degradation occurs. Additionally, RECON utilizes field equipment to ensure affected soils remain aerated or windrowed when inclement weather is approaching.
