Contamination treatability tests in soils and groundwater

Biological degradation processes, chemical degradation processes, and separation processes

Microcosm or mesocosm assays to evaluate aerobic or anaerobic biological degradation processes

• Evaluation of natural attenuation potential
• Biostimulation techniques of native microbiota
• Bioaugmentation techniques from native microbiota or commercial consortia
• Use of fungal and/or bacterial communities

Microcosm or mesocosm assays to evaluate chemical processes of pollution degradation

•  Use of oxidizing and reducing agents for pollution degradation (persulfate, permanganate, iron nanoparticles, ferrate, etc.)
• Evaluation of electrochemical oxidation processes such as E-peroxone, ozonation, etc. for the treatment of pollution
• Evaluation of combined processes (chemical and biological)

Tests in microcosms or mesocosms, static or dynamic, to evaluate pollution separation processes

• Evaluation of the availability and mobilization of pollution from surfactants and/or chelating substances, or other extracting products, for the simulation of washing processes
• Use of adsorbent materials such as ion exchange resins, biocarbon, zeolites, etc.
• Target pollutants: petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatics, PCBs, chlorinated solvents, nitrates, PFAS, metals, among others.
