Bioremediation
What is bioremediation?
Bioremediation is a naturally occurring process where small organisms called microbes, through a biological process clean up contaminated soil, groundwater and even hard surfaces. Bioremediation facilitates the growth of microbes that use contaminants as a source of food and energy.
Bioremediation has been successfully used to clean up many polluted sites including retail and commercial businesses, personal residences. It has also been used in the treatment of notorious spills such as the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon and the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill.
