Is Bioremediation Really Effective in Oil Spills?
What is bioremediation used for? The process harnesses the power of microorganisms in the disintegration and digestion of contaminants such as petrochemicals and hydrocarbons, making bioremediation useful in oil spill mitigation and cleanup.
The Role of Microorganisms in Oil Degradation
Oil degradation is an effective environmental bioremediation technique in which microorganisms digest petrochemical pollutants. But which biological and chemical processes help to make this happen, and how can we better understand the benefits? Read on to learn more.
Understanding Bioremediation Costs: Planning a Bioremediation Process
The bioremediation process helps facility managers, clean-up specialists, and business owners working in heavy industry to effectively remove contaminants from the soil. But bioremediation costs can be high, so it’s important to remain aware of the different price factors involved.
