Biological processes are primarily biotransformation, biodegradation, and bioaccumulation. |
Where possible, we use technologies to enhance the natural biodegradation of contaminants. |
They can linger in the water for decades, especially when used in deep water, where low temperatures can inhibit biodegradation. |
Microorganisms can be used for biodegradation and bioremediation by breaking down toxic compounds. |
The presence of natural degraders does not, by itself, insure biodegradation will be successful. |
Rapid aerobic biodegradation is what is important to ensure no risk to the environment. |
