A field-scale demonstration of a novel bioremediation process for MGP sites

The Institute of Gas Technology (IGT) has developed and demonstrated an integrated chemical/biological treatment (CBT) process to efficiently remediate soils and sludges contaminated with hazardous compounds such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile hydrocarbons (e.g., BTEX), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Bench-scale studies as well as the field-scale tests show that the CBT process is effective in significantly enhancing the rate as well as the extent of degradation of these contaminants.
