Bioremediation is as old as life itself. Superior Environmental favors the use of bioremediation over other remedies when applicable since bioremediation has the potential to transform pollutants into innocuous products rather than transferring contaminants from one environmental medium to another. However, in bioremediation one size DOES NOT fit all. There is no magical generic pouch to cure a site of its pollutants.

For that purpose, Superior Environmental employed the brightest in microbiology to establish and execute our “True Natural Bioremediation” which we call BIO-WORKS. BIO-WORKS is a unique process, where the bacteria used in the remedy is extracted from the contaminated media (site-specific remedy).

A contaminated soil or groundwater sample is provided to our microbiologist, where natural degraders for the contaminant(s) of concern are identified and isolated, then cultured into colony forming units (CFUs). The fresh natural bacteria are re-injected into the contaminated media. Once the contaminants are depleted, the population of the newly injected bacteria is naturally decreased to the normal levels prior to the bioremediation startup.

Therefore, our BIO-WORKS Process is a contaminant-specific and site-specific process.

Each bioremediation project we execute undergoes three extensive steps:

• Screening: Each project is studied to determine the natural and baseline physical and chemical characteristics. During this phase our professionals utilize the available computer simulation programs in our library to assist them in gaining a better understanding of the subsurface. We simply call this step Bio Phase I.
  
  
• Preparation: If Screening results are promising for successful bioremediation, then our field personnel collect an environmental sample from the contaminated media, and our microbiologist goes to work.
  
  
• Installation: This step is executed jointly between the microbiologist and the field hydrogeologist to ensure the correct delivery of the prepared natural strain(s) at the right place. During this step, our project hydrogeologist prepares site-specific flow and transport models to ensure uniform distribution of bacteria.
