5. BIO-REMEDIATION
IN-SITU EX-SITU
Selection of technology is based on several fields:-
1. Types of micro-organisms 2. Pollutant concentration
3. Environment 4. Nutrient availibility
BIO-REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGIES
6. The process of remediating
contaminated soil (or) contaminated water at site of
contamination.
IN-SITU TECHNOLOGY
7. The process of remediating
contaminated soil (or) ground water by extracting out from
site of contamination.
EX-SITU TECHNOLOGY
9. The simulation of native microbial
population in soil (or) ground water by providing necessary
nutrients.
BIO-STIMULATION
10. The addition of exogenous bacterial
cultures ,which increases capability of degrading
contamination to contaminant site.
EXAMPLE:- Cleaning of soil contaminant with aromatic
compounds.
BIO-AUGUMENTATION
11. The process of treating
contaminated soils by drawing oxygen through the vadose
region [ unsaturated soil above ground water] of soil to
stimulate microbial activity.
BIO-VENTING
12. The process of treating
contaminated water by injecting air below the water and
able to stimulate microbial activity.
BIO-SPARGING
13. Can treat larger volume of soil at once
Create less dust
Need of less labor and equipment's
Nature based process
ADVANTAGES
14. Slower remediation rate than ex-situ
Limited by depth of soil
Time taking [months-years]
Less predictable.
DIS-ADVANTAGES
15. Environmentally friendly
Bioremediation allows microbes as natural organisms to
degrade toxic compounds
Bioremediation is one of the most developing methods to
restore environment.
