Biological remediation procedures

DROP – Decontamination and Revitalisation of Oilpolluted Land

DROP

• is a biological remediation procedure for soil and ground water
• is a joint development of the companies IABG and Henkel/Cognis
• is a procedure that has been developed especially for large-area contamination with biologically degradable materials like mineral oil and fuel
• can be used in-situ and ex-situ and combined easily with other procedures
• is soil conserving
• is environmentally friendly:
  • no washing out of soil content or contaminants into the ground water
  • no soil excavation, no soil transport
  • exclusive use of easily biodegradable materials (mainly approved food/fodder) on the basis of natural raw materials

DROP requires very little equipment-technology and can also be applied in water protection areas.

BioREx – the new on-site procedure for decontaminating sites contaminated with explosives

• no toxicological / ecotoxicological-related metabolites
• suitable even in cases of heavy contamination
• cost-effective
