Microbial Biodegradation Principles

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

Understand the mechanisms of microbial biodegradation processes used in the removal of contaminants from soil and groundwater
Develop a better understanding of the microbial and environmental factors controlling site bioremediation processes
Identify the types of contaminants commonly found in soil and groundwater
Learn about the kinetics of biodegradation
Determine the type of biological processes needed for the removal of contaminants from soil and groundwater

Description
This webinar addresses the removal of contaminants from soil and groundwater by microbial processes, focusing on microbial metabolism and biodegradation mechanisms during aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation processes.

Factors controlling the effectiveness of site bioremediation, including the nature and concentration of contaminants, bioavailability and biodegradability of contaminants, type of microorganisms present at the site and environmental conditions, will be discussed.

Webinar Outline:

Introduction to bioremediation
Major contaminants of soil and groundwater
Fundamental aspects of biodegradation: Cell metabolism
Oxidative and reductive biodegradation processes
Bioavailability and biodegradability of contaminants
Microbial and environmental factors controlling bioremediation processes
Microbial kinetics

Who Should Attend
Environmental Engineers, Geologists, Soil Scientists, Project Managers, Consulting Engineers, Environmental Educators, Environmental Risk Managers, Environmental protection officers, Lawyers, Municipal Planners

In situ Technologies for Decontamination of Soil

After participating in this course, you will be able to:

Develop a better understanding of the soil characteristics relevant to bioremediation processes
Learn about the technologies that are commonly used during in situ soil bioremediation operations
Gain knowledge on microbial factors and environmental conditions controlling soil bioremediation processes
Evaluate and compare the performances of several in situ technologies used in the bioremediation of soil
Apply your knowledge of various in situ bioremediation technologies to soil decontamination projects

Description
This webinar provides information on the in situ bioremediation processes for the removal of contaminants from soil, without the excavation of soil and its transportation from the site. The fundamental site characteristics and the controlling microbial and environmental factors during in situ bioremediation of soil will be presented.

Selected in situ soil bioremediation technologies, including intrinsic bioremediation, biostimulation, bioaugmentation, bioventing and landfarming will be discussed.
