Sumas Environmental Services in conjunction with our associate partners have developed an advanced technological bioremediation process that quickly treats soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons without harming the environment or requiring long- term financial exposure.
Referred to as Biologically Enhanced Remediation (BER), this unique engineering application uses a naturally occurring microbial phenomena to break down contamination and accelerates the remediation process. Under laboratory conditions, specific microbes are isolated based upon their unique ability to degrade specific components of various petroleum products including diesel fuel, kerosene, gasoline, hydraulic fluids, JP-4, motor oil, benzene, toluene and naphthalene.
The microbes are blended to form specific contamination treatments, and are fed and stimulated into densities much higher than normal. Upon request, the microbes and specific nutrients are sent on-site or to special biotreatment centers where contaminated soil is treated quickly and effectively.
