Advantages
- The use of dedicated bacteria for
bio-remediation is a natural process with natural bacteria specially
selected for accelerated natural degradation.
- The selected bacteria are all natural and specifically pathogen
free with no hazard to human life.
- The action of the bacteria on the selected waste is to produce
small amounts of carbon dioxide, water and a trace of citric acid. Carbon
dioxide inhibits any risk of explosion from volatile gases.
- Can minimize the amount of residue sent for
disposal by as much as 80% with only inorganic materials left.
- Compared to using chemicals as a means of disposal, bio
techniques are extremely cost effective.
- The technique is very environmentally
friendly.

Bio-treatment at a Thetford development
Demonstration of biological spray technique
Developer digging out foundations for roadways
came upon oil. Again bio-remediation was the cheapest option
with little site disruption and also allowed other work on the housing
development to continue.
