Description:
Slurry biodegradation systems are created by combining soil or sludge with water. This technology provides rapid biodegradation, due to enhanced mass transfer rates and increased contaminant to microorganism contact. After appropriate pretreatment, the contaminants are suspended in a slurry form and mixed in a tank. Aeration is provided by spargers. Mixing is provided by aeration alone or by aeration and mechanical mixing. Nutrients and neutralizing agents are supplied to relieve any chemical limitations to microbial activity. Other materials can be used to support growth and induce degradation of contaminants, or increase substrate availability to degradation.
