subject: Bioremediation: Helping Industry Meet Environmental Goals [print this page] Terra Nova Biosystems deploys over 200 strains of powerful, biological microbes specifically designed to break down non-native contamination in soil. After microbial bioremediation of the contaminants, the byproduct is clean, contaminate-free soil, containing enriched, natural fertilizers. The benefit of such a process is clear: it gets rid of the pollution instead moving it, burning it, or simply leaving it.
For quality assurance, Terra Nova Biosystems' process has undergone extensive third party, EPA-approved lab testing for certification. This has shown that the Terra Nova remediation process is so effective that it can pass even the most stringent EPA and state level requirements. The three following cases are provided to show just how powerful this bioremediation process is for complete soil remediation.
Industrial Plant Project Clean Up
Terra Nova Biosystems successfully remediated oil sludge from a former steel mill facility which is now in a redevelopment phase. The chart shows what we were able to achieve in only 21-days with our treatment. The dark brown column is the level of the contaminant prior to any treatment. The cream colored column is the EPA/DEQ hurdle level for residential soil for the various contaminants. The green column is the level that Terra Nova Biosystems was able to achieve after 21-days of bioremediation treatment.
Heavy Hydrocarbon (Oil) Clean Up
Many other bioremediation companies have limited success with remediating heavy hydrocarbons (C15 -C40). This range of carbon chains includes such products as diesel, lubricating oils, various polymers, drilling mud, and crude oil. Terra Nova Biosystems has successfully remediated these heavier carbon chains to residential levels in 28-days. The chart shows our results. The dark brown column is the level of the contaminant prior to any treatment. The cream colored column is the EPA/DEQ hurdle level for residential soil for the various contaminants. The green column is the level that Terra Nova Biosystems was able to achieve after 28-days of bioremediation treatment.
Gas Related (LUST) Cleanup
Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST) are some of the most common sources around the world for soil contamination. In just weeks, Terra Nova Biosystems is able to efficiently remediate the contaminants that would commonly be found in leaking underground storage tanks, which often include, but are not limited to: Benzenes, Ethylbenzenes, Naphthalenes, Toluenes and Xylenes. The chart shows Terra Nova Biosystems' remediation results. The dark brown column is the level of the contaminant prior to any treatment. The cream colored column is the EPA/DEQ hurdle level for residential soil for the various contaminants. The green column is the level Terra Nova Biosystems was able to achieve using our proprietary remediation technology.
This new technology has the ability to help industry meet environmental goals, and by so doing help form a cleaner, healthier planet.
