Marks, C. AND C. Acheson. Chlorinated Solvent Bioremediation: Fundamentals and Practical Application for Remedial Project Managers. CLU-IN Webinar, Ada, Oklahoma, November 14, 2018.
Impact/Purpose:
This webinar provides a fundamental training for remedial project managers, contaminated site stakeholders, and environmental remediation professionals on the concepts of the bioremediation of chlorinated solvents through anaerobic reductive dechlorination. Participants will learn key terminology and concepts on this biological process, recommendations for site characterization and monitoring, proper data analysis, and environmental conditions that are all required for successful remediation of chlorinated solvents to non-toxic products.
Description:
Anaerobic reductive dechlorination (ARD) can be used to cost-effectively remediate chlorinated solvent sites. In ARD, microbial communities use substrates to sequentially degrade chlorinated solvents such as trichlorethylene (TCE). Depending on conditions at a site, remediation may involve adding substrates (biostimulation) and/or dechlorinating organisms (bioaugmentation). This presentation will discuss the biological and chemical principles of this technology and is geared toward remedial project managers. Key considerations for site specific application will be covered. In addition, case studies will provide examples of data from sites displaying ARD as well as sites with poor performance or insufficient data.
